What should you do if a load is not moving properly?

When a load is not moving properly, inspecting for any obstructions is the appropriate action to take. This step involves checking the path of the load and any equipment involved to ensure that there are no objects that could be impeding the movement. Obstructions can include other equipment, loose materials, or even the ground conditions that may affect how the load is being lifted or transported.

By focusing on identifying and addressing the underlying issue, you prioritize safety and efficiency in the operation. If a load is stuck or moving unevenly, pushing it manually could lead to accidents or damage to both the load and the equipment. Rushing the process or trying to speed things up can exacerbate the problem and increase the risk of accidents. Waiting for the signal person to react might delay the identification and resolution of the issue, as active inspection and communication are crucial in resolving load handling problems promptly.
