03 Manoeuvering and guiding
suspended loads
04 Carrying out tasks without
significant risks

3. THE FALL ZONE
Understanding
Fall zone:
Danger area around suspended loads.
Stay clear:
Minimum 10 steps away for safety.
Authorized personnel only:
Trained individuals handle the load directly.
Regular checks:
Equipment needs inspections to ensure proper
function.
Safety first:
Awareness and following rules prevent accidents.

4. Using safety tools
Taglines:
Grab and control loads from afar
Lifting heavy objects is risky: Getting too close can lead to injuries.
Safety tools = extra-long arms: Keep workers at a safe distance.
AS EXTENSIONS OF HANDS
Push/Pull Poles:
Act like giant levers to move objects safely.

5. AS EXTENSIONS OF HANDS
Using safety tools
Tagline Retrievers:
Pull back secured loads without getting close.
Benefits of Safety
tools:
Less hand injuries: Avoid
crushed or cut hands by
keeping them away from
heavy objects.

6. SUSPENDED LOADS
Suspended loads act like pendulums, swinging if
uncontrolled.
Move loads slowly and steadily to avoid sudden
movements.
Trained personnel (riggers/signalers) guide movements
using signals or controls.
Never touch the load directly, use designated tools for
adjustments.
Clear communication among everyone involved is
essential for safety.
Maneuvering and guiding

7. SIGNIFICANT RISKS
Follow safety guidelines:
Treat working with suspended loads like a game with
specific rules to prevent accidents.
Get proper training:
Before approaching a hanging load, undergo training on
safe handling procedures.
Use personal protective equipment (PPE):
Wear safety gear like helmets and gloves for protection.
Prioritize safety:
Always put safety first by following these steps to
minimize risk of injuries.
