Personnel & Communication: Rigging supervisor identified and responsible, Communication method established & confirmed. Equipment Verification: Rigging equipment in acceptable condition, Rigging equipment appropriate for lift, Working load limits clearly marked/visible, All equipment properly inspected & certified. Load Assessment: Load weight confirmed & documented, Center of gravity location identified, Load description accurate & documented. Rigging Geometry: Sling angles determined & appropriate, Side loading minimized, Slings padded at corners, edges & sharp surfaces, Load rigged at center of gravity. Hitch & Configuration: Hitch type appropriate for load, Working load limits adequate for combined tensions. Safety Measures: Taglines assigned if needed, Personnel clear of suspended load path, No fouling hazards identified. Stability: Load will lift level & remain stable. Special Considerations: Unusual concerns or special requirements addressed.
