Lifting & Rigging
In crane operations, rigging is often the weakest link, determining whether a lift is successful or results in an accident. A small mistake or momentary lapse in attention can lead to tragic outcomes, including fatalities. Lifting and rigging hazards are particularly dangerous due to the massive weight involved, and there’s little time to react if something goes wrong. Cargo, equipment, and the crane itself may be damaged or destroyed. The risks to workers’ safety are significant, and a simple error can lead to life-threatening consequences.
