Good luck or good practice?
The document is a presentation given by Arnold de Groot, a senior inspector with the Dutch government, at a conference on offshore cranes and lifting. The presentation argues that safe lifting operations in the Netherlands are due to good practice, not just good luck. Specifically, it suggests that good communication and cooperation, thorough preparation and planning, and diligent execution and supervision of lifts have contributed to the Netherlands avoiding serious lifting incidents.
