What should be done after completing a lift?

After completing a lift, it is crucial to inspect all rigging equipment for damage and report any findings. This step ensures that any wear and tear or potential damage to the equipment is identified and addressed immediately. Regular inspections are vital in maintaining safety standards and ensuring that the rigging equipment remains in reliable working condition for future lifts. Reporting any findings also helps in documenting the condition of the equipment and assists in making informed decisions about repairs or replacements.

Leaving the equipment as is, only cleaning the rigging equipment used, or confirming load dimensions and weight, while important in their own rights, do not encompass the critical safety aspect of checking for damage and ensuring that all equipment is safe for future use. By proactively inspecting and reporting damage, you contribute to a culture of safety and accountability within the lifting operations.
