If there is any deviation from the original lift plan, what action should be taken?

In situations where there is any deviation from the original lift plan, the proper course of action is to stop all crane movement. This is critical for maintaining safety and ensuring that everyone involved in the lifting operations is aware of the change. Stopping the crane allows for a reassessment of the situation to evaluate the impact of the deviation and to ensure that the lift can continue safely.

Stopping operations provides the necessary time to communicate any issues and gather input from all relevant team members. It prevents any potential hazards that could arise from continuing under uncertain conditions. Once the situation has been evaluated and understood, the team can then take appropriate actions, whether that involves notifying the crane operator or making adjustments to the lift plan.

Taking immediate cessation of crane movements is a standard safety protocol in rigging operations, ensuring that no unnecessary risks are taken that could lead to accidents or equipment failures.
