We have a small workshop where we use FLT's and over-head cranes to move a variety of materials and equipment about.
All our employees are fully trained and we have risk assessments for the individual pieces of kit.
Is a lift plan required for each lift?

Check your procedure first however:
-Is you load which need to be lifted by over head crane is irregular shape?
-off set center of gravity? possibility of moving around?
-Constrained place involved during lifting ?
-Dangerous Materials to be lifted?
If the answer is no to the above questions, go a head with your current risk assessment.

For simple/common lifts that are carried out on a regular basis a generic lift plan can be used in conjunction with the risk assessment for the activity e.g. FLT or Overhead crane etc.
if you are carrying out a tandem lift which is a more complicated operation, you will need a task specific lift plan drawn up by a competent person.
