88 © 2026, WSPS.CA
Make sure the load you are lifting is secure and cannot shift
while in the air.
After the load is released, stand back while it is hoisted.
Always use warning pylons, danger signs, blockages, and
barriers whenever lifting a load.
Compare load weight capacity of the cranes, ropes, wires
and it to the weight of the load being lifted.
ACTION!
Openly discuss with crew:
What are some of the
weather conditions which
can have a negative affect
on portable lifting devices?
What are the hand signals
should be used to communicate
safely between each other
when operating a lifting device?
