• Review Contractor lifting equipment registers and ensure inspection, certification, colour coding, maintenance, and traceability requirements are maintained.
• Ensure lifting accessories including wire ropes, slings, shackles, hooks, chain blocks, lever hoists, spreader beams, and lifting beams are inspected and properly maintained.
• Monitor compliance with the project's Lifting Equipment Management System (LEMS) or equivalent lifting management procedure.
• Participate in investigations of lifting-related incidents, near misses, dropped-object events, and equipment failures and recommend corrective/preventive actions.
• Provide technical guidance and mentoring to lifting supervisors, rigging teams, and construction personnel.
• Support project management in resolving technical and HSE issues related to lifting operations.
• Maintain records of lifting plan reviews, inspections, audits, observations, certifications, and corrective actions.
• Ensure lessons learned and lifting-related best practices are communicated and implemented across the project.
