 5     Lifting and work area issues:   •    Complete a Site Lift Study – identify load exclusion zones, Travel
        • Load Travel Paths                 Paths, Load Sizes, Loading bays, storage areas.
        • Loading bays                 •    Location and quantity of loading bays identified
        • Site sheds                   •    Site sheds require protection if in slewing path
        • Power lines                  •    Overhead power lines in the vicinity
        • Loading zones                •    Delivery loading zones adequate for project
