All loads that are to be lifted by a crane, whether small or large, need some form of planning. Pick points, swing radius, potential obstructions, weather conditions, etc. all factor into determining the safety of a lift. In New York City, a person appointed as Lift Director will be responsible to ensure safe rigging and lifting operations. It shall be unlawful for a crane or derrick that requires or possesses a certificate of on-site inspection, or which, in accordance with rules promulgated by the commissioner, is subject to supervision by a licensed master rigger in lieu of a certificate of on- site inspection, to perform various tasks unless a lift director is present at the site during all times  

This intensive NYC DOB training course meets criteria of Administrative Code of New York City, Article 424 and addresses the various responsibilities the Lift Director has working with the crane operator, the signal person(s), riggers, site supervisor, and any other personnel working near the lift. As of 11/2022, this course also replaces 30-Hour Master Rigger training and becomes a part of NYC DOB Master Rigger license qualification.
