The Safe Lifting Operations Program enables employees, contractors, or service providers to make safe arrangements to use or safely operate lifting equipment. The program requires employees, contractors, or service providers to ensure that lifting operations carried out as part of their daily operations are done without risks to health and safety and that lifting equipment used in the workplace does not present risks.
