Overview
What this RAVS document does
A dropped or swinging load can be fatal, so hiring clients scrutinize the cranes and hoists element. They want lifts planned, operators and riggers competent, equipment inspected, and loads within rated limits.
This document states your company's cranes and hoists program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: operator and rigger competency, equipment inspection and certification, lift planning, load limits, and safe operating practices. Each point ties back to Part 14 of the BC OHS Regulation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
