What is the hazard zone during lifting?

The hazard zone during lifting refers to the area around the lifting operation where there is a risk of injury or damage due to the movement of loads, equipment, or personnel. This zone typically includes the space directly beneath the lifted load, as well as the areas in the path of the load's movement. Workers should be trained to recognize and avoid this zone to prevent accidents, and appropriate safety measures, such as barriers and warning signs, should be implemented to minimize risks. Proper communication and signaling are also crucial to ensure safety during lifting operations.
