This document provides guidance on safely lifting loads. It emphasizes that the weight of the load and any rigging equipment must be determined. Limitations of operations and the date of the last inspection should also be considered. The load should be lifted smoothly and steadily in a controlled motion to a clear landing area, avoiding personnel. Environmental factors must be accounted for in the lifting process. The overall objective is to hoist loads safely.
