Steps
Pull 1926.1432 from osha.gov and confirm paragraph (a): before any lift where more than one crane/derrick supports the load, a qualified person must develop a written plan designed to ensure the rest of subpart CC is met.
Confirm that where the qualified person determines engineering expertise is needed for the plan, the employer must provide it (1926.1432(a)(3)).
Under paragraph (b), confirm the lift must be directed by either one person who is both competent and qualified, or a competent person assisted by one or more qualified persons — this combined role is the 'lift director.'
Confirm the lift director must review the plan in a meeting with all workers involved in the operation (1926.1432(b)(2)) before the lift proceeds.
Document the plan and the pre-lift meeting attendance as part of the jobsite compliance record.
Known gotchas
OSHA Subpart CC does not itself use or define the term 'critical lift' — 1926.1432 is triggered purely by the presence of more than one crane/derrick supporting the load, regardless of capacity percentage; the 75%-of-rated-capacity 'critical lift' threshold is an industry convention borrowed from 1926.751 (Subpart R, Steel Erection), a different part of the standard entirely.
1926.1432 is short — it only covers plan development and implementation; it does not itself specify load-chart verification, center-of-gravity calculation methods, or other lift-plan content details some industry checklists attribute to it.
