i have just started at a new company that produce chemicals. i have noticed that although they use FLT, slings, etc, they do not have a lifting plan in place. Does anybody have a template that i could borrow/use or know where i could find one thank you

Hi Did you get a lift plan, or are you still looking for one? I have one that I could send to you? Thanks Graeme

Stand to be corrected by the loler experts but I thought that you didn't/don't need a lifting plan per se for routine lifting??? We dont have a lifting plan for moving pallets for example. Stu

I may be wrong, but I cannot see anything regarding a lifting plan in LOLER. For our lifting ops (and we are talking smaller ops here i.e. moving road plates) we use safe systems of work to ensure that it is done safely.

Prad, that is for cranes; the OP does not mention cranes.

Not stated within the regulations but depends on how you read it and the guidance within the ACOP. We use our own lifting plans but have seen many others within construction. So can understand why the OP would want one. To the original OP if you need an example please PM me.

Gents don’t quote me on this as I have do some more digging but if you under sling a loads using lifting attachments on a RTFLT it then falls under lifting operations hence BS7121 Regards Chris
