ENGINEERING SIGN-OFF FOR CRITICAL AND NON-ROUTINE CRANE LIFTS
What you get
- A fillable PDF - every checkbox, weight, capacity, and dimension field is a real form field, typed or handwritten
- Six sections covering the full plan: what makes the lift critical, the lift area, the equipment, the load, the rigging, and site conditions
- Fields for load chart percentage, lifting radius, crane capacity at that radius, and rigging capacity, so the numbers that actually govern the lift are on the page, not in someone's head
- A rigging details block and a six-line comments section for anything the checklist fields don't cover
- Supervisor sign-off with name, signature, and date
- Your company logo added to the form, at no extra charge
How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- The 'basis for critical designator' section forces the load-chart percentage, power-line clearance, and rigging questions to be answered before the lift is planned, not while the load is already in the air
- Crane capacity and rigging capacity sit next to the load's own weight and dimensions, so a mismatch is visible on the page instead of caught mid-lift
- One printed plan a supervisor signs is what a client or a certifying auditor asks for after a critical lift, not a set of verbal confirmations
- Fill it in the office while the engineered lift plan is still being finalised, or on a tablet at the crane pad - the fields work either way
Built for
- Crane operators and lift supervisors planning lifts that exceed routine capacity or proximity limits
- Riggers and site safety coordinators documenting engineered lift requirements before a critical lift proceeds
- Construction, oil and gas, and industrial companies with formal lift-plan requirements under provincial OHS crane and hoisting regulations
Why it matters
A critical lift is critical because something about it - the load, the radius, the proximity to power lines or occupied structures - takes it past what a routine lift plan covers. Writing the numbers down before the pick, not describing them afterward, is the difference between a documented decision and a story about what everyone remembers agreeing to.

Product Specifications: Size: 8.5" x 11" (Letter) Delivered as a print-ready PDF Custom company logo or name Ready to print and use immediately Built For: Canadian construction companies, crane operators, riggers, and safety supervisors conducting lifts that require formal lift planning under OHS legislation. Supports COR/SECOR audit evidence requirements and compliance with provincial construction safety regulations across Alberta and all Canadian provinces. It is written for Canadian workplaces and formatted so it can go straight into your safety program.
Is it editable, or print-ready only?
It is supplied print-ready. If you need it adapted to your own program wording, we can do that as part of a manual build.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
What format is it, and when do I get it?
It is a digital download available immediately after checkout, and you can print as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
