Safety in construction

Don't miss this event and an opportunity to network. At SmartLift, we understand that safety in lifting and earthmoving operations, and operations in general, isn’t just a requirement—it’s a system that depends on the synchronized function of three key components: People, Procedures, and Equipment. We see these elements as the gears of a safety mechanism—when they move in harmony, risk is minimized, and performance is optimized. As a safety leader, here’s what you should pay close attention to in each axis: * People – Your frontline defense against incidents. Competence, awareness, and decision-making under pressure are critical. Are your operators, riggers, and signal persons properly trained, certified, and regularly evaluated? * Procedures – The structure that guides behavior. Well-defined, practical, and enforced procedures reduce ambiguity and standardize safe practices. Are your lifting plans, communication protocols, and emergency actions current and compliant with OSHA and ASME? * Equipment – The physical interface of risk. Poorly maintained or misused equipment is a direct threat to safety. Are inspections up to date? Are your machines being used within rated capacities and manufacturer recommendations?
