What typically occurs during a "pre-lift meeting"?

During a "pre-lift meeting," the primary focus is on discussing the lift plan and team roles. This meeting is crucial because it ensures that all team members understand the specific objectives of the lift, the sequence of operations, safety measures, and individual responsibilities. It allows for clarification of any uncertainties, assessment of potential risks, and confirmation that everyone is aware of the procedures to follow during the lift.

While training on new equipment, demonstrating lifting techniques, and inspecting the lifting site are important activities in the rigging process, they typically occur at different times and serve distinct purposes outside of the pre-lift meeting context. The pre-lift meeting centers on collaborative communication among team members to ensure that everyone is aligned and prepared for the task at hand.
