What type of meeting should be held before carrying out a lift operation?

A pre-lift meeting is essential before carrying out a lift operation as it serves as a platform for all team members involved in the lift to communicate critical information. During this meeting, the team discusses the lift plan, identifies roles, reviews safety measures, and addresses potential hazards. The focus is on ensuring that everyone involved understands the operation, which helps prevent miscommunication and ensures that all safety protocols are adhered to.

In this context, while a training session may enhance skills and a safety review might focus on general workplace safety policies, neither addresses the specific circumstances and details pertinent to the upcoming lift operation like a pre-lift meeting does. A daily briefing is typically a broader communication strategy that may not be as in-depth concerning a specific lift. The pre-lift meeting is therefore the most targeted and effective approach to ensure a safe and successful lift operation.
