Lifting/ Rigging Supervisor - Urgent Hiring
The Lifting Supervisor is the primary safety authority physically present during lifting operations. The main objective is to direct and supervise the lifting operation in accordance with the Lift Plan (Method Statement) prepared by the Appointed Person.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Lift Plan Verification: Review the Lift Plan provided by the Appointed Person (AP) before work begins to ensure it matches the current site conditions.
Toolbox Talks: Conduct pre-lift briefings with the lifting team (Operator, Slinger/Signallers) to explain the lift sequence, hazards, and communication methods.
Site Setup: Verify that the crane is set up correctly according to the plan (e.g., correct outrigger extension, appropriate ground mats/pads used for ground bearing pressure).
Equipment Inspection: Check that all lifting accessories (shackles, slings, chains) identified in the plan are available, free from damage, and have valid color codes/tags.
Directing Operations: Supervise the lifting team to ensure they strictly follow the method statement. Ensure only one Slinger/Signaller is signaling the crane at a time.
Exclusion Zones: Ensure barriers and signage are in place to prevent unauthorized personnel or public from entering the lifting zone.
Load Control: Monitor the center of gravity and ensure tagline handlers are controlling load rotation effectively.
