In the UK (noting you are in ROI, where the rules tend to be slightly more prescriptive...) I would be more concerned with the absence of a competent 'check' if one person is doing everything. It may be ok for routine, standard lifts, but for out-of-the ordinary unusual lifts, I would always want to see at least two people involved who should be able to spot if the other makes a serious error - and put it right. So an Authorised Person preparing a lift plan - would have his work checked by the crane driver. Even this only works if the driver feels able to challenge... Where the 'master/servant' relationship is to entrenched and hierarchical, then effectively you only have one person 'doing it' anyway....
