Wind can change a lift in seconds. Pause, reassess, communicate, and continue only when the risk is understood and controlled.

Don’t rush the lift. Take time to plan, inspect, communicate, and verify. A few extra minutes can prevent a lifetime of regret.

Power lines don’t move—but getting too close creates immediate risk. Know the distance, maintain clearances, and never compromise control.

Staying out of the line of fire is one of the simplest—and most important—rules on any crane job. Know where the load can go. Stay clear.

Safe lifts don’t happen by chance—they happen by discipline, planning, and speaking up before risk becomes reality.

Close calls in crane operations are not “good outcomes.” They are warnings that something broke down!
