Multiple lift rigging procedures allow qualified workers to hoist more than one structural steel member during a single crane lift under specific safety requirements. However, improper rigging, overloaded equipment, or poor communication can lead to falling loads, struck-by incidents, and serious injuries. This safety lesson covers rigging assembly requirements, load capacity limits, equipment inspections, proper attachment and securement, crane operator and rigger responsibilities, and safe lifting and landing procedures. By following OSHA requirements, approved lift plans, and established work practices, employees can help prevent accidents and protect everyone working around suspended loads.
