Lifting and logistics
Suspended load
Gravity
This card shows the energy in this activity and what to verify before starting. It's a reference, not a step-by-step procedure. The checklist below stays on this screen; nothing is saved or sent.
A load lifted or held above ground stores gravitational energy that is released if the load falls.
High-energy check
Most suspended loads exceed the 1500 J high-energy trigger. Treat as high energy unless calculation shows otherwise.
Direct controls to verify
Ticks stay on this screen only. Nothing is saved or sent.
For your SPA or pre-start
State the load mass and lift height, the direct controls that keep people out from under the load, and who verifies them before the lift.
Limitations: This tool supports planning and verification only. It does not replace competent risk assessment, legal duties, employer procedures, client requirements or competent supervision.
