A foreman's crew is preparing for a critical lift. The morning JSA was completed under clear skies, but by mid-day, the wind begins to gust near the company's action limit and distant lightning is observed. What is the MOST appropriate course of action?
-
A
Proceed with the lift quickly to finish before the weather worsens.
-
B
Tell the crane operator to make the final decision on whether the lift is safe.
-
C
Instruct the crew to continue working but to 'be careful' and watch the sky.
-
D
Halt all work, hold a tailgate meeting to reassess the new hazards, and consult the company's inclement weather policy.
