Steps: 

1. Conduct a risk assessment.
2. Prepare Lifting Plans and safe work procedures. 
3. Ensure machinery and tools or equipment for lifting are functional and in good condition.
4. Appoint trained and competent personnel.
5. Establish a work permit system.
6. Monitor and supervise lifting work at all times.

Lifting Working Group

1. Supervisor 
   • Implementing a Lifting Plan.
   • Supervise all lifting work.
   • Ensure regular inspections of lifting tools and equipment.
   • Ensure Safe Working Load marking for lifting tools or equipment. 
2. Crane Operator
   • Prepared and updated operator logbook.
   • Prepared and updated daily checklists for components such as control mechanisms, control switches, hydraulic hoses and hydraulic oil levels.  
3. Signalman/Ranger
   • Be able to choose appropriate and safe lifting equipment.
   • Able to direct the movement of cranes and loads.

The fall protection hierarchy is the best control sequence for all hazards. As the hierarchy changes, so do the risks. Proper fall protection training and rescue plans are essential.

1. Hazard Elimination
   • The best solution option is to eliminate exposure to the fall hazard.
2. Fall Restraint System
   • Physical barriers, such as guard rails around open edges and covers for holes (in the floor).
3. Passive Fall Protection
   • Use personal protective equipment to restrict workers' range of motion so they cannot fall.
4. Fall Arrest System
   • Designed for situations where exposure to falls cannot be eliminated. Falls are arrested at appropriate force and clearance distance.
5. Administrative Control
   • A less encouraged solution option is through work practices and procedures to increase employee awareness of fall hazards.

1. Public safety.
2. Blasting work.
3. Buffer work.
4. Working at heights.
5. Work in confined spaces.
6. Work under load.
7. Night work.
8. Work using heavy machinery.
9. Excavation work.
10. Lifting work.
11. Demolition work.
12. Working near high voltage power lines.

PTW content

1. Hazard identification.
2. Risk assessment.
3. Control measures necessary to eliminate hazards where practical, assess unavoidable risks and state appropriate measures that control risks at source.
4. Determine who is at risk.
5. Provide written PTW which includes: 
   • Level of competence in all operations and any skills and expertise;
   • List of isolation/precautionary measures before work;
   • List of prohibited activities;
   • List of equipment and machinery;
   • List of personal protective equipment to be used;
   • Work sequence;
   • Emergency action plan; and
   • List of personnel involved.
6. Conduct briefings for workers operating under PTW regarding hazards and control measures. 
7. Ensure employees understand and comply with PTW. 
8. The PTW must be displayed in the work area for employee reference. 
9. Ensures work areas are clean and safe, and all safety devices are functioning properly.
