What should be included in the lift plan for a heavy pick over occupied structures?

LIFT-004 · Lift Planning
Critical lift plans for picks over occupied structures must include evacuation procedures, barrier installation, backup systems, and engineering analysis of load paths and failure scenarios.
A lift plan for heavy picks over occupied structures requires comprehensive safety measures beyond standard operations. The plan must specify complete evacuation of all personnel from the potential drop zone, including adjacent areas that could be affected by load swing or crane failure. Physical barriers and exclusion zones must be established and clearly marked, with trained spotters controlling access points.
Reference: OSHA 1926.1417 - Operation near or over power lines and 1926.1425 - Keeping clear of the load
Remember: BABE - Barriers, Analysis, Backup systems, Evacuation procedures
