In the crane and rigging world, time is money. Crews want to get on site, set up, and start lifting. It’s easy to think that skipping a daily inspection is harmless—especially if the crane was working fine yesterday. But from where I sit, both as a director of risk management and an insurance professional who has spent decades in this industry, the hidden costs of skipping daily inspections can be staggering.
In specialized transport, one overlooked risk can spiral into a major compliance violation, derailing operations, raising insurance premiums, and triggering lawsuits. For CFOs and operations leaders under pressure to reduce exposure and control costs, robust risk management isn’t just about safety. It’s about staying in business, which is becoming more and more critical in the crane and rigging landscape.
In crane and rigging operations, the lift doesn’t start when the crane booms up, it starts in the planning room. The Pre-Lift Planning Meeting is your opportunity to prevent costly errors, reduce liability, and reinforce a culture of safety before boots even hit the ground. It’s not paperwork for the sake of compliance, it’s a proactive tool to protect your crew, your gear, and your business.
The importance of a good safety culture in any organization cannot be overstated. A strong safety culture is one in which safety is considered a top priority at all levels of the organization, from the top down. It is an organizational culture that is characterized by the shared values, attitudes, and behaviors that prioritize the well-being and safety of all employees.
