Lifting operations are one of the most critical activities in the workplace, requiring a high level of commitment by all involved and responsible levels, competence and resources to ensure health and safety of all involved personnel. Key to the success of any lifting operation is effective planning, discussing, communicating, preparing and executing. Where the correct and safe lifting practices allow us to move large, even enormous objects, eliminating the need for manual handling, incorrect lifting practices may result in fatalities, serious injuries, extreme financial loss and long term operational interruptions.
