Lifts of test weights during maintenance or load testing are considered:

Lifts of test weights during maintenance or load testing are categorized as non-complex lifts. This classification stems from the inherent nature of these lifts, which typically involve a controlled environment, predictable loads, and established procedures that are clearly outlined in training and operational guidelines.

Non-complex lifts are generally characterized by their straightforward processes, which do not require advanced techniques or specialized equipment. During maintenance or load testing, the purpose is to assess the operational capabilities of a system or equipment under specific conditions, often involving routine practices recognized in industry standards. The training provided in the NAVFAC P-307 framework emphasizes safety and reliability during these operations, reinforcing the classification of these test weight lifts as non-complex due to their predictable nature.

In contrast, complex lifts involve multiple variables, unique conditions, or intricate maneuvers that require additional planning and expertise. Standard lifts typically refer to routine operations that do not necessarily pertain to testing or maintenance, while specialty lifts may involve specialized equipment or specific conditions that go beyond the scope of standard or non-complex lifts.
