Upload by Aurelia

Kennedy Space Center lift plan form for construction contractors outlining mandatory crane lift planning and required conditions. The form specifies when a lift plan is required (e.g., personnel hoisting, load exceeding 75% of crane capacity, multiple cranes, demolition uncertainty, power line proximity, lifts over active work areas or public roadways, submerged/partially submerged objects). It collects project, load, crane, rigging details, calculations, setup constraints, hazard considerations, and certification-based required attachments, culminating in official review and acceptance sections.

| Kennedy Space Center Lift Plan for Construction Contractors | | | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | This document is for use by construction contractors performing work for Kennedy Space Center.It is recommended for all lifts and will satisfy the
lift planning requirements in accordance with OSHA and NASA regulations and contract requirements.A lift plan is mandatory when:1)lifting
personnel with a crane,2)the load exceeds 75%of the crane's capacity in a given configuration,3)the lift requires more than one crane,4)during
demolition when the actual weight or structural integrity of the load are in doubt,5)when the operation is within a boom length of power lines,6)
when lifting over active work areas,occupied buildings,or public roadways,or 7)lifts of submerged or partially submerged objects.For further
assistance,please contact the KSC Institutional Safety Office at 867-SAFE. | | | | | | | Name and Signature of Person Preparing this Lift Plan

FAQs

When is a lift plan mandatory for Kennedy Space Center construction contractor crane work?

A lift plan is mandatory when lifting personnel with a crane, when the load exceeds 75% of the crane’s capacity in a given configuration, when more than one crane is required, during demolition if load weight or structural integrity is in doubt, near power lines within a boom length, when lifting over active work areas, occupied buildings, or public roadways, and when lifting submerged or partially submerged objects.

What key information must be provided to complete the lift plan?

The form collects preparer name and signature, company, date, project name and location, load description and weight breakdown, crane description (type/manufacturer/model), crane setup parameters (boom configuration/length/angles, radius, capacity), and rigging details including sling/hitch configuration and total rigging weights.

What documents and attachments are required with the lift plan submission?

Required attachments include load placement diagrams, rigging diagrams showing sling angles and expected loads and load CG, photocopies of actual load charts used to calculate crane capacity, rigging certifications and rigging load limit charts (SWL), crane certification (annual/daily checklist), operator certification, rigger qualification documents, narrative of lift procedures, and the source of load weight.
