Unpopular opinion: That quick pre-lift huddle is NOT optional
Last week, our crew rushed and skipped the team talk. I had a bad feeling but kept quiet. Mid-lift, a spotter walked right into my blind zone. No one shared the load path, so we came WAY too close. Now I DEMAND that huddle, no excuses.

Insist on a buddy check for blind spots now, we do it every time.

Learned that lesson the hard way like Aaron said, almost kissed a beam myself, yikes.

Remember when my buddy's crew almost dropped a beam because they skipped their safety chat?

Yeah that "almost dropped a beam" story sums up why those talks feel boring until they're not. It's like they thought the safety chat was just a suggestion box. Skipping it to save five minutes nearly cost them way more than that, real genius move. Bet they won't make that call again. Some crews learn cheap, others need a near miss to get it.
