Hit 500 lifts without a single incident and then realized something

Passed 500 lifts on a high rise in Denver last week and it hit me that I've been skipping my daily walkaround on the crawler for at least 50 of those. How do you guys stay consistent with pre-shift checks when the routine gets so automatic?

Had a buddy who got complacent and his crane got left in swing.

Start treating every lift like it's your first one. I've been there too, letting the routine slide because everything feels the same. What works for me is talking through each check out loud as I do it, even if people think I'm crazy. Keeps my brain from going on autopilot and skipping steps.
