Rigging Equipment - Plan of Control

In both rigging and demolition equipment is what gets the job done. However, it is intelligent, experienced people that decide on the approach of how things get done and in what progression, which determines what specific equipment and sizes are required at various points in the project. All of this becomes a logistics issue as equipment is needed at different times on different projects.

R. Baker works closely with many EHS (environmental health and safety) departments with our rigging and or demolition plans of control. These plans of control coordinate with the client, what must be used, and where and how things get utilized. Many clients have the equipment and environmental standards and procedures already, such as low or no emission forklifts and or bobcats. As well as when noise or vibration, such as jackhammering can occur, either during or after working hours. This includes lifts by a crane that may take loads over occupied spaces, these potentially need re-routing or being done on off-hours when buildings are unoccupied. Dust and smell that can carry over to busy areas is another consideration; working off-hours can remedy this or having the proper ventilation and or filtration in place.

No one likes surprises which is why it is always best to share your approach and plan of control with your customers. As Benjamin Franklin once said, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." Your strategy should incorporate your customers' standards along with your criteria, thus showing you have planned the project in detail. Also helping to pave the way for the project specific safety plan, THA's and toolbox talks, all-the-while developing a collaborative work environment between all parties.
