Rigging and Lifting Plan Guidance
Conditions When a Rigging and Lifting Plan is Recommended
The load weight & configuration (including all rigging components) exceeds 85%
capacity of crane or rigging equipment.
The load is “one of a kind” and critical to plant operations/ damage or destruction from
the load would result in generation reduction or outage extension.
The Sling Rating selected for lifting a load should be a minimum of 1.25 times the actual
load weight to be lifted is greater than 25% due to the of the approved dynamic loading
factor (1.25 x actual load weight = minimum rigging rating)
The lift requires more than one crane (multiple-crane lift).
The lift requires a mobile crane with outriggers that will be directly over underground
piping or tunnels that could be damaged or collapse.
The load is being moved horizontally with 2 or more hoists and the angle (at the loads
highest position) of the load chain(s) are greater than 45 degrees from horizontal.
The rigging used will have horizontal sling angles less than 30 degrees/ low headroom in
location.
The load will be lifted near energized power lines as defined in the Safety manual.
The load is in a hazardous environment and or contains environmentally sensitive or
controlled materials.
Does the load have potential binding or interference fit & load cell usage is needed but
not practical.
Infrequently performed rigging activity or first time evolution?
Does the rigging evolution involve/include two or more work groups and have all the
rigging equipment/hardware been inspected to verify free of defects and satisfactory for
performing the required lifts. All vendor supplied equipment/hardware is required to be
inspected and meet the requirements of this procedure.
The Rigging and Lifting Plan Checklist on the next page is optional and may be used as the
rigging plan.

Rigging & Lifting Plan Guidance
Rigging & Lifting Plan Checklist
Signalman & Single Point of Contact (qualified rigger) has been designated?
Do you know how much the load weighs by calculation, drawing or markings? Weight
=_________Lbs. Load cell required.
Is the lift going to be near unprotected energized conductors, such as crane bus or electrical
equipment, wires, etc? – Robust barriers installed – Electrical lines protected or deenergized?
Do you understand the load path?
Has the load path been walked down for tag line requirements (for uncontrolled movement of loads)
and obstructions or sharp objects that could damage slings?
Have you inspected your rigging, verified load reductions, and is it satisfactory?
Is the center of gravity known? Verify stability and capacity according to hitch type. (Vertical,
Basket, Choke)
Calculated for sling angle and de-rated the slings accordingly. Dynamic loading/additional stresses
assessed.
Is all rigging hardware selection adequate for the lift? Inspect periodically during lifting evolutions for
signs of imminent failure.
Does the load have any corners that require softeners / abrasion protection required? (Cornermax sling
protection needed)?
For inverted basket hitches, ensure sling attachment points are above the center of gravity
Have you verified that nothing can shift when the load is lifted? (i.e. loaded gang box)
Are the appropriate hand signals, if required, available at the job site? (OSHA standard)
Has a safe lift zone been properly established and communicated.
Safe set down contingency established? Cribbing available and inspected for set down.
Are you aware that outdoor cranes shall be secured at wind speeds sustained 30 mph or above?
Capacity is reduced approximately 45% when winds are sustained at 20 mph.
Hoist ring usage – Torque per manufacturers specifications

Rigging & Lifting Plan Guidance
Rigging & Lifting Plan Checklist-Additional Items to Consider
What is being lifted? ________________
Who is in charge of the lift? Is a competent rigger / Brieser oversight person required
prior to moving the load? ______________________________
Shackle pins fully seated? – Eyebolts shouldered and adequate thread engagement?
Does the rigging have appropriate identification? – Pre-use inspections completed?
Does all rigging have adequate/known working load limits?
Will there be any side or angular loading?
Turnbuckles have at least full thread engagement?
Will personnel be clear of suspended load? Safe lift zone established?
Rigging attachment points approved for use, capacity, and visually inspected?
Any unusual environmental concerns (weather, electrical wires, visibility, noise, high
radiation areas, heat stress, etc)? ___________________________
Will personnel be restricted from elevations below the load path?
For Mobil Crane lifts see attachment 8.

Start Date Expiration Date
Requirements
The Job Hazard Analysis shall be attached to this authorization and will be posted at the
site. Job Hazard Analysis includes (as applicable):
o Height the load will be raised
o Potential swing of the load
o Trip Hazards
o Body Positioning
o Explanation of how workers are not at risk of being struck by the load should
rigging shift or fail.
o Reasons why long handle tools and/or redundant rigging systems could not be
used to eliminate the need for working under suspended load.
A Pre-Job Brief shall be conducted with all workers prior to starting the activity and at
the beginning of each subsequent shift.
A Dedicated First Line Supervisor / Craft Labor supervisor (or designee) shall be
assigned to the work activity and be in attendance until work activity is completed.
Name of Dedicated Supervisor
Authorization:
I have reviewed the attached Job Hazard Analysis and request for an exception from the normal
prohibition against working on/under a suspended load and agree that this limited exception is
warranted for the time frame listed above and the activities specified on the JHA.
The activity will be supervised by a dedicated First Line Supervisor/Craft Labor Supervisor (or
designee) to ensure the work activity is limited to the described scope and all precautions and
limitations documented in the Job Hazard Analysis are followed.
