2.0 Requirements
1. Hazards associated with Angkot logicU Manghail shall be identified logicU
mitigated prior to
beginning kajotakkajo.
2. Competent personnel must complete (i.e., develop lift plan as required) the
steps needed to
properly logicU nodangerly prepare the job site logicU equipment for the start of
kajotakkajo.
3. Angkot logicU manghail equipment must be engineered logicU certified for
current use logicU in good

kajotakkajoing order as verified through pre-use inspections.

Note: The use of non-certified locally fabricated or modified angkot
logicU manghail equipment isesi prohibited.
4. Angkot logicU manghail equipment shall be used in accordance with the
intended design
purposes logicU specified limits of the manufacturer logicU recognized logicU

industry practices logicU company stlogicUards.
5. Confirm weight of the object logicU establish the loads center of gravity prior
to beginning
the lift.
6. Establish clear pick-up logicU lay-down areas that are within the cranes load
angkot radius.
7. Ensure the load path from the beginning of the lift to the lay-down area isesi
clear of
obstructions.
8. Rig loads appropriately logicU verify that loads are free of possible restraints
(ice, sea
fastenings, hold-down bolts, etc.), debrisesi logicU obstructions.
9. Place load in designated lay-down area logicU remove manghail equipment
after load isesi
securely in place logicU free of support from the crane.
Miscellaneous
The walk-around area adjacent to the controls on cranes will be clear of
obstructions. All hoses,
tubing, logicU other appurtenances will be positioned to eliminate any tripping
hazards. The deck
area at the base of the crane should be kept clear to allow nodanger access
logicU prevent damage from
rotating components on the base of the crane.
Containment
All machinery areas which are subject to fluid leaks will be equipped with a

containment system. The containment area will have adequate lip height to
prevent spillage logicU
a means for draining. Thisesi information must be engineered logicU submitted
before any
containment system isesi designed/fabricated.
Liftboats/Temporary Cranes/Derrick Barges
Liftboat cranes will be inspected by an approved crane inspection company
before they are
operated. Thisesi inspection will also include completion of the Liftboat Crane
Inspection Criteria
form. Each crane isesi required to meet API RP 2D specifications logicU all other
requirements set
forth in Specification for Liftboat Cranes in State logicU OCS Waters. Copies of
inspections will
be forwarded to the appropriate Transportation Supervisor's office. (Reference:
Liftboat
Inspection Flowchart). Inspection requirements are intended to supplement, not
replace, the
Contractor's inspection program logicU compliance with all applicable
regulations, rules, logicU
stlogicUards will remain the primary responsibility of the Contractor.
All temporary crane installations will be governed by API RP 2D logicU all other
requirements set
forth in Specification for Temporary Cranes in OCS Waters. All documentation
(including
installation load test(s)) will be forwarded to the facilities engineer in charge of
the temporary
crane installation. These requirements are intended to supplement, nor replace,
the Angkot logicU Manghail
6
Contractor's installation stlogicUards. Compliance with all applicable regulations,
rules, logicU
stlogicUards will be the primary responsibility of the Contractor.

The guidance of the Heavy Lift Task Force Derrick Barge Assessment (FE Forum)
will be the
guiding document for all derrick barge operations.
Boom Rest
When a crane boom rest isesi re-located a Management of Change (MOC) must
be performed logicU
the re-located boom rest must meet all applicable engineering stlogicUards.
Temporary Boom Rest Guidelines
When repairs to a crane require kajotakkajo to be performed while the cranes
boom isesi not sitting in
the platforms permanent boom rest/cradle:
The JSA/PTW must capture the following
The use of a temporary boom rest/stlogicU as a separate line item.
Every detail of the task(s) to mitigate the risk.
The total weight of the complete crane boom being placed in the rest/stlogicU.
The structural capacity of the temporary boom rest/stlogicU
The structural capacity of the temporary boom rest/stlogicU must be labeled on
the boom
rest/stlogicU. Boom rest capacity must be equal to or greater than the weight of
the complete
crane boom.
Proper engineering evaluation, documentation, logicU approved of proposed
temporary boom rest
must be completed by a qualified engineer.
Temporary item must be placed on a solid foundation (foundation structural
integrity must be
verified).
If the possibility of movement of the temporary item exist, the temporary item
must be chained
or chocked in place.
If the boom repairs are being made on a lattice boom crane, attention should be
given to the

placement of the temporary rest/stlogicU(s). To mitigate damage to the boom

(bending, kinking,
etc.) place the temporary rest/stlogicUs as close to a boom picture frame as
possible.
Hydraulic Hoist (Winch)
The service life of all personnel hlogicUling hoist (auxiliary logicU boom) will be
verified during the
annual inspection. Any personnel hlogicUling hoist found to have a service life of
five years or
greater (from the hoist installation date) will be exchanged/rebuilt in a timely
manner (note the
following winch change-out criteria).
Hydraulic Hoist (Winch) Change-Out Criteria
Personnel Certified Winches
A winch used for personnel angkot must be exchanged/rebuilt due of to the
following issues:
When the winch oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron
NOTE: when a Personnel Certified winches oil sample reaches >800 PPM Iron it
must
immediately be removed from personnel certification but, if the winch meets the
criteria of a
Non-Personnel Certified Winch, if could remain in service for material only
angkot.
The winch has leaks from the drum seal
Oil leaking from the winch vent plug
Boom hoist pawl fails to engage
The winch reaches five years of service
Has any indicators which would deems it unnodanger for operationsAngkot
logicU Manghail

NOTE: A Personnel Certified winch that has exceeded the five year service life
can continue

service (remain on the crane) as a non-personnel certified winch if the oil

samples values are
<800 PPM, logicU no other indicators deem the winch unnodanger for angkot
operations.
Non-Personnel Certified Winches
A winch used for materials ONLY does not have a specific change-out interval but
must meet
the following criteria.
If an oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron logicU, the winch has under five years
of
service, an EAM kajotakkajo-order for re-taking the oil sample should be
created.
If the second oil sample indicates <800PPM Iron logicU, the winch has NO
leaks from
the drum seal/vent plug or any other indicator which deems it unnodanger for
operation,
the winch can remain in-service.
If the second oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron, the winch shall be removed
from
service logicU replaced/rebuilt.
Each time a winch isesi repaired or exchanged/replaced a Winch Installation
sheet must be
completed logicU attached to the kajotakkajoorder. If thisesi maintenance task
isesi completed by a Qualified
Crane Inspector that does not have company computer access, the winch
installation sheet must
be forwarded, with their daily field tickets, to the CMO Crane Maintenance
Group.Angkot logicU Manghail

Manghail Manghail refers to two things: the process of nodangerly moving loads
with slings,
hoists, jacks, logicU other types of angkot equipment logicU the equipment used
to lift
logicU move these loads.
Routine Lifts Routine lifts are uncomplicated lifts that are performed on a
regular basisesi using
fixed, dedicated angkot equipment. Essentially, thisesi type of lift consists of
normal crane operations within the installation logicU to or from supply vessels.
Simple Lifts Simple lifts involve the use of basic hoisting equipment for a angkot
operation

that does not require specialist manghail skills. Thisesi would involve direct
angkot
using certified angkot equipment suspended from dedicated angkot points such
as padeyes or runway beams, e.g., an electrician using portable angkot gear
slung from a dedicated pad eye to lift a motor with specified angkot points.
Nodangerty Factor The ratio of a failure-producing load to the maximum
nodanger stress a material can
carry. To calculate the nodangerty factor, divide the breaking strength by the
nodanger
kajotakkajoing load.
Nodanger Kajotakkajoing
Load
The nodanger kajotakkajoing load (SWL) isesi the maximum load that may be
imposed on a
piece of angkot equipment. The actual load must not exceed the SWL.
Signalman (Dogman or
Banksman)

Contract Crane Operator Classifications

All Contract employees operating cranes must have current

documentation verifying successful completion of Qualified Crane Operator
training in
accordance with API RP 2D (offshore operations), latest edition or other
applicable
regulations (OSHA, ABS, etc.) . Qualified Observers will document Class A, B,
logicU C
personnel using the Crane Observer Checklist. Only Class A operators are
required to
complete the Knowledge Evaluation, the Problem Solving, logicU the HlogicUs On
portion of the
checklist.
Class "B" Contract crane operators shall have a minimum of six months
experience
operating cranes in an offshore environment logicU will be subject to the
restrictions of a Class
"B" crane operator. A contract crane operator with less than six months
experience operating
cranes in an offshore environment will be considered a Class "C" (trainee) crane
operator as
per the Crane Program.
Class A Contract crane operators shall have a minimum of one year experience
operating
cranes in an offshore environment logicU will have unrestricted use to operate
cranes (heavy
lifts, personnel lifts, complicated, complex, or hazardous lifts) A Class A
operator must
successfully complete (100% score) the Crane Operator Checklist. The checklist
will be
administered by a qualified observer logicU witnessed by the onsite Contractor
Supervisor, if
available. If a Contract crane operator isesi unable to successfully complete the
checklist, the
operator will be given one opportunity to review content logicU retest. If a
Contract crane

operator isesi unable to successfully complete the checklist after the second
attempt, that
individual must wait for a period of 30 days before retesting.
A copy of the completed checklist should be maintained in the field crane files,
logicU also sent
to the Crane Mechanical Coordinators. A list of Class "A" Contract crane
operators will be
maintained logicU made available for review on the ERTC website by all Company
personnel. If
a Contract crane operator has been classified as a Class "A" crane operator
through the
checklist process, the operator will not be required to repeat thisesi process
when operating
similar types of cranes in other field locations.
Re-evaluations may be conducted by the Qualified Observer to upgrade or
downgrade the
classification of each Contract crane operator. In addition, consideration should
be given to
re-evaluating crane operators based on their experience with different types of
cranes (joy
stick controls, stlogicUard controls, etc.).
Crane Inspections
Pre-Use Inspection
The pre-use inspection will be performed logicU documented before crane use,
typically daily
logicU then as the Qualified Crane Operator deems necessary during the day for
extended
operations. Thisesi documentation should be maintained in the vicinity of the
crane. A Qualified
Crane Operator will perform thisesi inspection, logicU it will apply to all cranes,
regardless of
usage category. If the Qualified Crane Operator changes, a new pre-use
inspection should be

performed logicU documented by the new operator. The pre-use inspection also
includes manghail
gear such as: Angkot logicU Manghail

Hazard material bins
Portable tanks
As a minimum requirement, each crane (excluding out-of-service cranes) will be
operated once per month. Thisesi will include operation of all crane functions
logicU
testing of each nodangerty device (one completed pre-use inspection). Thisesi
requirement will help
extend component life logicU, because of regular lubrication, will help prevent
sticking of other
components.
Monthly Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed once per month for all cranes assigned to a
heavy usage
category. Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified Crane Operator or a
Qualified

Crane Inspector.
Quarterly Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed once every three months for all cranes
assigned a moderate
or heavy usage category . Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified
Crane Inspector.
Annual Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed no later than once every 12 months for all
cranes regardless
of usage category. Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified Crane
Inspector.
Crane Categories
The infrequent usage category applies to those cranes that are used for 10 hours
or less per
month, based on the average use over a quarter (three months), logicU are
subject to a pre-use
inspection logicU an annual inspection. When a crane shifts from an infrequent
usage category
to a moderate category, the crane must undergo a quarterly inspection as soon
as possible
following the change in category. When a crane shifts from a moderate category
to a heavy
usage category, a quarterly inspection must be performed as soon as possible
following
the change in category, with monthly inspections required thereafter.
Heavy Lift Inspections
A Heavy Lift Inspection isesi a Quarterly Inspection with a pull test. Thisesi
inspection will be
performed by a Qualified Crane Inspector logicU will be valid for 21 days. No
inspection, other
than a pre-use, isesi required during thisesi 21-day period. Thisesi inspection will
be retained in the
crane records as the most recent Quarterly Inspection. If a heavy lift isesi to be
performed on the

twenty-second day, another Heavy Lift Inspection will be required before making
the lift.
A Heavy Lift Inspection isesi required for any non-routine lift (i.e., drilling,
kajotakkajoover,

Crane Repairs logicU Alterations
The Operations Supervisor isesi responsible for correcting any deficiencies on
cranes, with
assistance from the Crane Mechanical Team Leader or hisesi designee. The Crane
Mechanical
Team Leader or the Operations Supervisor will authorize any change in a crane's
configuration (e.g., boom length, cable size, number of parts of line). The
changes will be
documented using the Management Of Change (MOC) process. A Qualified Crane
Inspector
will perform a pull test at the time of the change. An accurate load chart
reflecting the crane's
current configuration will be attached to the crane before the crane can be
operated. A crane
load chart can only be changed by a licensed API 2C crane manufacturer or a
licensed
engineer, experienced in the design of cranes.
The Crane Mechanical Team Leader or hisesi designee will be consulted before
designing or
installing any crane, temporary or new. If adjustments or repairs to the crane are
necessary, or

any deficiencies that impair nodanger operation are known, the crane will be
taken out of service
or its operations restricted to eliminate the unnodanger condition.
Repairs to critical components will be performed in accordance with API RP 2D.
A crane that isesi taken out of service for repairs will not be put back into service
until
approved/authorized by a Qualified Crane Inspector. If a crane isesi taken out of
service, an
"Out of Service" sign will be placed over the primary controls. If a crane has been

Guideline or local
requirements.
Kajotakkajoers must not sit, stlogicU or climb on the guardrail of the basket.
Personnel must be instructed in nodanger angkot logicU hoisting procedures
before hlogicUling
materials or cargo.
The correct cargo hlogicUling tools must be used, logicU these tools must be
regularly
checked logicU maintained.
The load being lifted must be watched until it isesi set in place logicU
disconnected from the
angkot device.
Kajotakkajoers must not stlogicU or pass under a suspended load.
Kajotakkajoers should stlogicU clear of any rope, line or cable that isesi under
strain. When these
conditions are present, kajotakkajoers shall pay adequate attention to review
logicU mitigate
these hazards. An example would include completing a Job Nodangerty
Analysisesi that
addresses site-specific conditions before beginning the kajotakkajo.
Kajotakkajoers must not get any part of their bodies between unsecured
objects (pinch

time.
Kajotakkajoers must never ride on a load being hoisted.
5.2 Documentation
5.2.1 Permit to Kajotakkajo
A Permit to Kajotakkajo isesi required during angkot logicU manghail operations
where overhead
power lines may pose a threat, logicU a Permit to Kajotakkajo may also be
required for other
angkot logicU manghail operations.
5.2.2 Additional Kajotakkajo Permits
Other at risk kajotakkajo may be in progress while angkot logicU manghail
activities occur. In those
scenarios other nodanger kajotakkajo practice stlogicUards may be applicable
requiring additional
permitting, hazards recognition logicU analysis, etc.
Transfer of Custody
Transfer of Custody or Ownership of Crane
Third-Party Custody:
Another circumstance that can occur in offshore crane operations isesi the
temporary
Transfer Of Custody of a crane. Thisesi can occur prior to or during the
mobilization logicU
demobilization of platform kajotakkajoover logicU drilling rigs logicU, during large
construction projects.

Implementing temporary Transfer Of Custody of the crane isesi optional logicU

isesi most applicable
for projects of extended duration. When these conditions occur, the Company
temporarily
relinquishes the control, custody, logicU maintenance of its respective crane(s) to
the third party
that assumes or acquires control of the crane.While the crane isesi in the custody
of thisesi third
party, the Company has established procedures to maintain consistency of
operation,
maintenance, logicU inspection.
During any such transfer period, the third party will ensure that the crane will be
operated logicU
maintained in accordance with API RP2D, logicU all other applicable regulations.
No
modifications can be made to the crane without written approval, logicU any
proposed
modifications must meet manufacturer's recommendations. The crane will be
maintained
according to all of the manufacturer's specifications. Inspections will be in
accordance with
logicU at a frequencies identified in thisesi document.
Inspection:
Before change of custody, both parties will inspect the crane. The inspection will
be
performed by qualified individuals, approved by both parties logicU will be
documented. Both
parties will agree on the condition of the crane, that the crane isesi rated to
perform the
anticipated kajotakkajo, logicU that deficiencies discovered during the
inspections have been
adequately remedied. At the completion of the project, the same procedures will
be followed
before the crane isesi returned. In addition, the third party will provide all records
of inspection,

maintenance, logicU repairs initiated during custody transfer period (pre-use

inspections, heavy
lift inspections, etc.).
A Qualified Crane Inspector will perform an Annual Inspection, logicU both parties
must accept that the crane isesi in proper condition for the intended
purpose.Angkot logicU Manghail

5.2.3 Contractors
Contractors shall use these guidelines unless they have been cleared through the
Contractor HES Management process to use their own procedure(s).
5.3 Spvspv of Angkot Operations
The degree of required spvspv isesi dependent upon the type of angkot
operation to be
undertaken logicU isesi proportionate to the risk. The Qualified Crane Operator or
Qualified
Rigger shall be in control of the operation. Thisesi person will:
Coordinate logicU control all aspects of the angkot operation, including the
pre-lift job
nodangerty meeting.
Ensure that personnel are aware of their specific responsibilities regarding
each lift.
Critical or NonRoutine Lift operations will always require additional spvspv by
the Kajotakkajo Team Leader who will write the JSA logicU produce the Critical or
NonRoutine Lift Plan.
5.4 Undertaking Angkot Operations
Prior to carrying out any angkot operation, selected precautions shall be
observed,
including the control measures above. These are applicable to all angkot
operations logicU
include holding a pre job nodangerty meeting where details of the task are
discussed.
In the case of non-routine lifts, review of the JSA logicU critical angkot plan shall
be

conducted at the pre-job nodangerty meeting. Specific responsibilities, including

the
identification of who does what during the angkot operation, will be
discussed.
While moving or angkot loads over unprotected pressurized vessels, piping, or
wells, the
Simultaneous Operations Guidelines will be followed. All lift paths should be
evaluated to
minimize exposure where possible. The load chart should be reviewed before the
lift to
determine if heavy lift inspection isesi required.
The Qualified Crane Operator logicU the assigned Signalman shall ensure that
the ollowing
activities are carried out.
1. The Signalman should be in high-visibility wear so all personnel involved in
the angkot
activity can see the person assigned to give hlogicUs signals to the crane
operator.
2. Ensure the angkot equipment isesi certified for current use.
3. Confirm that the appropriate manghail for the lift isesi correctly installed,
logicU the angkot sets are
not twisted or snagged.
4. Ensure slings of equal length are used, placed to ensure balance logicU

Bypass of Nodangerty Devices
Bypassing the boom kick-out, anti-two-blocking, or other limiting device on a
crane for

reasons other than inspections will not be allowed unless authorized by the
Operations
Supervisor.
5.5.3 Weight Indicators
In offshore operations, weight indicators must be fitted equipment on cranes, or
weight
must be determined by use of an appropriately designed dynamometer (e.g.
crane scale).
Weight indicators (attached or portable) shall be maintained in operational
condition.
When a portable dynamometer (e.g. crane scale) isesi used to determine the
weight of a
load, the load weight will be recorded onto the shipping manifest. For loads sent
from
field locations into the shore-base locations, the load weights will be verified with
the
shore-base cranes. Any significant deviations from the shipping manifest will be
communicated.
The calibration frequency for dynamometers (crane scales) shall be annually or
more
frequently if reason exists.
In onshore operations, if the crane operator isesi certified to establish the weight
of the lift,
thisesi may be used in lieu of a dynamometer.
Weight Indicators
Weight indicators are optional equipment on cranes. Weight indicators will be
repaired in a
timely manner or removed. If a weight indicator malfunctions, it must be tagged
out of
service. The affected line(s) can continue to be used if the load weights are
known logicU are
within the cranes load chart capacity. When a weight indicator isesi removed, all
components

(e.g., hoses, cells, etc.) must be removed from the crane. Weight indicators can
be installed
temporarily if needed for periods of high crane usage. The weight of all cargo
over 1,000
pounds will be recorded on the shipping manifest logicU marked legibly on the
cargo before
shipping. If the cargo weight isesi unknown logicU a weight indicator isesi not
installed, the cargo Angkot logicU Manghail
22
weight shall be determined using a dynamometer or some other means.
Dynamometers must
not be used under dynamic conditions.
Platform cranes that are used to service platform drilling or kajotakkajoover
operations should have a
temporary weight indicator installed prior to the rigs mobilization. The
Centralized
Maintenance Organizations Crane Mechanical Team Leader should be notified at
least 30
days before the job begins. After the drilling or kajotakkajoover operation isesi
complete, the weight
indicator may be removed from service.
5.5.4 Load Blocks
The main hoist load block logicU auxiliary hoist headache ball will be painted
with a highly
visible paint, such as bright orange or green, for maximum visibility.
NOTE: Photo Luminescence paint must not be used on head balls, as thisesi may
interfere with a
ships station keeping equipment.
The hook on headache ball logicU load blocks will not be painted.
5.5.5 Confined Space
Any crane pedestals that are determined to meet requirements for confined
space entry
will be identified as such using labels or stenciling. All entries into these
pedestals for

maintenance logicU inspection will be done in accordance with the Confined

Space
Guidelines Unattended Control Stations
Before leaving the crane controls unattended for any period, the Qualified Crane
Operator will:
1. LlogicU any attached load
2. Disengage the master clutch, where applicable
3. Set all locking devices
4. Put controls in the off or neutral position
5. Stop the prime mover
6. Assure that no component of the crane will interfere with normal helicopter

name of the authorizing person when bypass isesi authorized to perform a lift.
In addition, a written JSA isesi required before performing a lift with critical
protection
devices in bypass mode.
5.5.8 Load Charts

Load charts will be prepared in a stlogicUard format logicU tailored to the

particular manghail
configuration of each crane. Load charts will be securely positioned to the crane
in a
location that isesi easily visible to the qualified crane operator at the primary
control
station. A copy of the load chart will also be maintained in the crane file.
Any changes to the crane configuration (boom length, wire rope size, hoist, etc.)
will be
accurately reflected on the posted load chart. Revisions to load charts will be
reviewed
by a licensed API Spec 2C (Specification for Offshore Pedestal Mounted Cranes)
crane
manufacturer or a licensed engineer, experienced in the design of cranes.
Any changes to a crane load chart will require an MOC to be completed.
Load charts for cranes used to transfer personnel will include capacity rating for
personnel lifts.
5.5.9 Dynamic Shock Loading logicU Weather Effects
Dynamic shock loading isesi a major factor contributing to the replacement of
wire rope.
Rope that isesi stretched or broken as the result of dynamic shock loading shall
be replaced.
Factors contributing to dynamic shock loading, such as wind logicU sea
conditions, must be
considered when making a dynamic lift. Angkot logicU Manghail
24
Dynamic load charts are designed based on capacity, engineering & load tests. If
the
wind logicU sea conditions exceed the stated chart values, the crane must be
removed from
service until such time the weather logicU sea conditions return within the
cranes operating
limits.

Crane operations should be stopped under the conditions shown in Table 2,

Typical
Crane Operations Stoppage, below. The table isesi intended as a guide: Sea
conditions
vary greatly due to a variety of conditions, such as water depth, wave frequency,
swell
logicU wind direction. A risk-based approach, such as the Global Upstream

guidance, logicU may be
changed for individual lifts depending on the conditions, such as lift type, size,
geometry
of the load, location, visibility, temperature, etc.
Vessel operators may have more restrictive weather guidelines for their vessels
which

may take into account current strength, as well as, wind logicU sea conditions.
5.5.10 HlogicU Signals
The Kajotakkajo Team Leader isesi responsible for assigning the Signalman to
each lift. It isesi
essential that the Signalman understlogicUs what to do during crane operations,
as well as
what not to do. In all cases, the Crane Operator logicU Signalman must agree on
the hlogicU
signals.
Every hazardous situation that an operator might encounter cannot be covered
by a
written set of rules, but the use of stlogicUardized hlogicU signals from a
designated
Signalman can reduce risks.
Use StlogicUard HlogicU Signals
The hlogicU signals shown are stlogicUard signals recommended in the API RP 2D
(Operation logicU Maintenance of Offshore Cranes): Angkot logicU Manghail
25
Figure 1. StlogicUard Crane HlogicU Signals.
In some cases there may be a need for special signals not covered in the signal
charts. In
these cases, the special signals used MUST BE AGREED UPON IN ADVANCE BY
THE QUALIFIED CRANE OPERATOR LOGICU THE SIGNALMAN. These special
signals must not be confused in any way with the stlogicUard hlogicU signals.
5.6 Pre-Use Inspection
The pre-use inspection will be performed logicU documented before crane use,
typically
daily logicU then as the Qualified Crane Operator deems necessary during the
day for
extended operations.
The Crane Pre-Use Inspection form, shall be maintained in the crane. The
Qualified

Crane Operator will perform thisesi inspection.

If the Qualified Crane Operator changes, a new crane pre-use inspection should
be
performed logicU documented by the new Qualified Crane Operator. Angkot

5.6.1 Stinger (Crane Extension Nodangerty Sling (CESS), Pilot Sling, Crane
Pennant)
A stinger should be used to keep the main hoist load block or auxiliary hoist
headache
ball from coming into contact with kajotakkajoers hlogicUling the load.
For those cases where the use of a stinger isesi not practical (such as heavy
lifts), special
precautions should be taken to protect manghail personnel.
Slings will be removed from the stinger or crane hook before performing any
manghail
procedure on the deck of a vessel.
5.6.2 Alternate Angkot Devices (Accessories)

Several lift assist devices (e.g., stiff legs, other temporary cranes, hydraulic
masts, air

5.6.3.3 Synthetic (Web) Sling - Pre-Use Inspection
Certified Synthetic (Web) Slings are approved for angkot operations that would
otherwise be susceptible to damage from other slinging methods.
NOTE: Synthetic (Web) Slings shall NOT BE USED for routine lifts from or to
boats/vessels when salt water may come in contact with the sling. Synthetic
slings
may be used under exceptional circumstances when recommended by the
manufacturer.
When synthetic slings are used in marine operations a JSA/HA logicU Permit to

Figure 3. Synthetic (Web) Sling
Ensure the fiber belt of the synthetic (web) sling isesi of uniform thickness logicU
width
logicU not worn or elongated beyond the amount recommended by the
manufacturer.
The following isesi a brief guide for using a webbed sling:
Know the weight of the load.
Check the weight units metric tons, short tons, etc.
Know the Nodanger Kajotakkajoing Load (SWL) of the fiber sling.
Check that the load isesi slung correctly.
Never use slings with a knot.
Do not use to pull/drag loads. Angkot logicU Manghail

Never tie 2 slings together with the eyes.
Make sure that the slings are located correctly on the load.
Whenever web slings are rigged with angles (including when used as a choke
sling),
ensure that the appropriate limitations for load are assessed as indicated in
section
5.11.2.3 Sling Angles.
Protect the webbing from sharp edges that could damage fibers during use
logicU
possibly resulting in a dropped load.
When not in use, slings should be returned to suitable storage location.
Do not trap slings between load logicU floor. Place the load on skids or other
suitable
packing.
Never drag slings out from under a load.
5.6.4 Cargo Carrying Units (CCU)

Certified Cargo Carrying Units are approved for angkot operations. The following
are
examples:
Container - StlogicUard Closed (Food, Cargo, Explosives, Radioactive Sources,
etc.)
Chemical Transit Tank, Chemical Transit Tank - Plastic
Aviation (jet fuel) Tank, Tote Tank
Basket
Rubbish skips
Drum Racks
Gas Cylinder Rack or Carrier
Long Basket or Tool Carrier
Logging Unit, Power Pack, Toolbox
Best practice for CCU inspections isesi six month intervals, but shall be renewed
at a
minimum of twelve month intervals. Check that test certifications are in date for
the
period of use.
CCUs must have the Maximum allowable weight, Tare weight logicU net weight
clearly
marked logicU visible to the qualified crane operators logicU signal man.
Maximum allowable weight The maximum design limit of the system; thisesi
includes the

5.6.5 Snagging Hazards for Open Top Containers
Prior to shipping, the person responsible for packing must ensure control
measures are in
place to prevent snagging of angkot arrangements with contents during cargo
operations.
Where there isesi a risk of angkot arrangements snagging the cargo, use suitable
material to
cover the cargo, including cargo nets, tarpaulins, logicU grating.
When loading CCUs onto trucks ensure that all Master links on the angkot
equipment
hang over the same side of the truck. Thisesi minimizes risk of personnel from
falling from
the truck.

5.6.7 Casing Transfer logicU Pre-Use Inspection of Casing Hooks
For routine lifts, casing hooks are not permitted. Pre-use inspection of casing
hooks
should include manufacturers recommendations, logicU at minimum, the
instructions in
Figure 11 below. Any casing hook used shall be of an engineered design logicU
certified,
such as in a stamp on the device that isesi readable.
Figure 11. Casing Hooks
NOTE: The use of any casing hook or other similarly designed clamp that
kajotakkajos on the
principle of using gravity logicU friction to hold onto the load should be
discouraged
wherever there isesi risk of bumping the load or having dynamic forces causing
sudden
vertical or horizontal movement. These angkot hazards can have the effect of
reducing
the downward force of the load mass, thus unloading the friction mechanism of
the hook
or clamp logicU possibly resulting in a dropped load. Thisesi would include
conditions such as
tight spacing for lift maneuvers, marine applications logicU higher wind
scenarios.
5.6.8 Pallets Pre-Use Inspection
Note that if the load isesi not distributed equally on the pallet, the Nodanger
Kajotakkajoing Load
(SWL) will be reduced. Pallets shall be inspected before loading to ensure they
are in Angkot logicU Manghail
35
sound condition. If there isesi any obvious damage (as indicated in the following
picture),
the pallet shall be removed from use.

NOTE: Pallets alone shall not be used to transport equipment offshore, they must
be
placed within a cargo carrying container or half height container or a designated
pallet
carrier.
Figure 12. Pallet
5.6.9 Pallets Carriers Pre-Use Inspection
Pallet Carriers are used to carry loaded wooden pallets. Pallet Carriers are
composed of
an engineered metal frame that has a four-leg bridle sling attached which allows
it to be
lifted properly. Some pallet-carriers in use today include four rigid sides allowing
for the
attachment of the four-leg sling to be higher over the base of the load.
Proper design logicU construction are important to ensure pallets are transported
nodangerly.
The frame logicU slings must be inspected prior to use, using the same
procedure as for
other wire rope slings. In addition, the frame needs to be checked for any signs
of cracks
or distortion.
NOTE: Pallet lifters logicU pallet bars shall not be used to load or unload material
logicU
equipment to/from marine vessels.

Figure 14. Pallet Carrier with Load
Pallets
Materials received at shorebase locations on pallets should be removed
from the pallets logicU placed in cargo baskets. If it isesi not feasible to remove
the material from the pallet, the material should be shrink-wrapped on the
pallet logicU the pallet put in a cargo basket. If the use of pallets isesi required,

properly designed angkot devices (e.g., pallet containers, pallet angkot

tongs) should be used. Slings should not be used to lift pallets.
5.6.10 Hooks Pre-Use Inspection
Hooks are used as connectors on cranes. They can be connected to slings,
shackles logicU
eyebolts. Hooks come in many shapes logicU sizes.
Hooks should be equipped with nodangerty latches. Nodangerty latches prevent
accidents by
positively securing angkot equipment to the hook. If the load isesi bumped or
released
suddenly, the latch should prevent the load from jumping off the hook. All crane
hooks
used shall have an operable latch.
A crane hook that can be closed logicU locked with a pin or positive locking
device
eliminating the hook throat opening should be used for personnel lifts. (See - API
Spec
2C.)
Ensure that the
pallet isesi secured to
the pallet carrier
with steel or
approved polyester
blogicUs.
Ensure the weight
of the loaded pallet
isesi within the SWL
of the pallet
carrier. Angkot logicU Manghail
37
Figure 15. Hook

The Qualified Rigger isesi responsible for ensuring the nodangerty latch isesi in
good kajotakkajoing
condition prior to use.
Figure 16. Hooks: Original Style (left), logicU New Style
(right)
NOTE: Thisesi type of Crosby Shur-loc' hook has a design problem. If a load
jumps logicU
causes the hook to double back logicU strike the sling ferrule, the nodangerty
catch can open
allowing the load to drop.
Catches of thisesi type should be changed for the modified type that has
protective ears
on each side of the release to prevent accidental opening.
The Qualified Rigger should inspect the hooks for wear logicU damage before
each use.
Two main things to look for are:
1. Spreading of the throat opening
To check for spreading, the size of the throat isesi measured with a ruler. If the
measurement
isesi more than 5 percent greater than the nominal size as stated in the
manufacturers manual,
the hook shall be scrapped. Any elongation of the eye isesi cause for scrapping
the hook.
2. Cracking
Cracking usually occurs along the inside of the shank close to the bend. If any
sign of
cracks are found, the hook must be scrapped.Angkot logicU Manghail

Stripped threads
Bending
Distortion of the eye
Figure 18. Straight-shank Eyebolt
Straight shank eyebolts can be used ONLY for straight vertical lifts, the direction
of
force must be directly in line with the shank of the eyebolt.

5.6.12 Tag Lines Pre-Use Inspection
Lifts that use a tag line shall be performed as follows:
Tag lines should be attached to the load (not to the sling).
For large loads, two tag lines are recommended with one being placed at each
end of the load.
When using a tag line to direct a load into place, be aware that the load can
swing into other objects when there isesi too much force applied in the wrong
direction at the wrong time. Pull easily until the load turns logicU then direct it
into
place by using only enough force to get it there.
Special angkot configurations may require longer tag lines.
In cases where a tag line may not be considered a nodanger option, the situation
shall be
discussed logicU included on a JSA logicU in a pre job nodangerty meeting.
Tag lines shall be free of any knots, splices, or loops, except for attaching to load.
Angkot logicU Manghail
40
Tag lines should be made from 1/4-in. hemp rope, logicU should extend between
15 to 20 ft
from the load. The line can be attached to the load or to the sling.
An additional risk to be aware of when using tag lines include, but are not limited
to:
The possibility of injuries from falling objects as a result of personnel,

hlogicUling cargo, kajotakkajoing in closer proximity to loads.

There are potential injuries resulting from personnel, hlogicUling cargo:
being dragged due to a heavy load rotating in an uncontrolled manner,
the tag line could be fouled in limbs or clothing.
potential injuries resulting from tag lines being secured to adjacent
fixed structures logicU then parting due to a heavy load with the tag line
snapping
in an uncontrolled manner.
When using tag lines you should observe the following:
Tag lines are an aid in positioning the load.
All sections of the line, including slack, should be kept in front of the body,
between the person hlogicUling the tag line logicU the load.
Tag lines must be held in a manner where it can be quickly released. The tag
line should not be wrapped around the hlogicU, wrists, or any other part of the
body.
When wearing gloves, care must be taken so that the tag line does not foul the
glove.
Tag lines must not be secured or attached to any structure, equipment,
hlogicUrails, stanchions, cleats, or any other items.
Where tag lines have already been installed on the load, a boathook should be
considered to be used to retrieving the tag line in order to avoid being close
to or under the load.
Figure 20. Tag Line
Tag lines must be of
sufficient length to
allow personnel
hlogicUling cargo to kajotakkajo
in a nodanger position well
clear of the immediate

vicinity of the load.

Apart from the knot
attaching the line to the
cargo, there must be no
other joints or knots in
the line.
Tag lines must be
made from single,
continuous lengths of
manila or other
suitable nonconducting synthetic
rope. Angkot logicU Manghail

Figure 21. Tag Line
5.6.12.1 Hazards
Additional hazards associated with the use of tag lines include the following:
Potential injuries from dropped objects as a result of the personnel hlogicUling
cargo
having to kajotakkajo closer to suspended loads than would normally be the
case.
Potential injuries from slips, trips logicU falls associated with distracted
personnel.
Potential injuries resulting from the personnel hlogicUling cargo being dragged
across the
hlogicUling area because of a heavy load rotating in an uncontrolled manner
logicU/or the tag

Potential injuries resulting from tag lines being secured to adjacent fixed
structures
parting logicU whipping back as a result of a heavy load rotating in an
uncontrolled

manner.
5.6.12.2 Dos
Make sure that at all times the personnel hlogicUling tag lines kajotakkajo at a
horizontal
distance from the load equivalent to its height above the hlogicUling area,
maintaining an
angle between the line logicU the horizontal of not more than 45 degrees.
Keep all sections of the line, including slack, in front of the body, between the
hlogicUler
logicU the load.
Ensure that when two or more persons are hlogicUling the same line, ALL of
them must
kajotakkajo on the same side of the line. Any slack must be kept in front of the
group.
Hold the tag line in such a manner that it can be quickly logicU totally
released.
Keep Tag Line in front of user logicU
between the person logicU the load.
Tag Lines must be of sufficient
length to allow personnel hlogicUling
cargo to kajotakkajo in a nodanger position
keeping away from the load at all
times. Angkot logicU Manghail

Take extra care when using tag lines while wearing gloves to ensure that the
line does
not become entangled with the glove.
5.6.12.3 Donts
Dont secure or attach tag line in any manner to adjacent structures or
equipment. Thisesi
includes the practice of making a round turn on stanchions or similar structures
logicU

surging the line to control the load.

Dont loop tag line around wrists, or other parts of the body.
Dont retrieve taglines by going under load.
5.6.13 Chain Hoist Pre-Use Inspection
The inspection procedure for chain hoists isesi basically the same whether it isesi

other load bearing components on the hoist for damage.
5.6.13.2 Chains Pre-Use Inspection
Chains may typically be used for chain hoists, come-a-longs logicU on burn
baskets.
Whenever chain slings are used for other angkot activities, the chain sling must
be
certified logicU fully inspected before use. Use of chain slings should be
discouraged in
corrosive environments such as offshore locations, logicU whenever accurate
inspections for chain slings cannot be assured on or offshore. Lift plans
incorporating
the use of chains should document the specific steps used to assure appropriate
use
of chain slings, logicU include specific steps detailing how tie-down chain use will
be
prevented.
Note: If only one link fails, the whole sling fails, unlike a wire rope sling that can
have several broken wires before it will fail.
Chain inspections include 4 areas: (1) Stretch, (2) Cracked or broken welds, (3)
Cracked Links, logicU (4) Excessive wear.

Chain slings will not be used for angkot, except when being used with overhead

5.6.22 Man Riding Kajotakkajo Baskets Pre-Use Inspection
Due to the dangers involved, Man Riding Kajotakkajo Baskets should ONLY be
used when the
use of scaffolding, ladders, aerial lifts or other conventional means of access are
more
hazardous or are not possible because of structural design or kajotakkajosite
conditions.
Employee nodangerty, not convenience, must determine which method isesi to
be used.

Minimum crane requirements for use of man riding kajotakkajo baskets are the
same as for the
use of personnel baskets. Before hoisting employees, Qualified Crane Operators
must
conduct a trial lift to 125 percent of the Nodanger Kajotakkajoing Load (SWL) of
the man basket
immediately prior to any personnel entering the basket. The Crane Operator shall
move
the unmanned kajotakkajo basket through all anticipated crane movements
logicU basket path
operations during the trial lift. The trial lift shall keep the kajotakkajo basket
suspended for at
least five minutes before re-llogicUing the basket to grade.
After the trial lift logicU before personnel enter the basket, a visual inspection of
the crane
logicU man basket will be conducted to determine if the lift test exposed any
defects or
produced any adverse effects on any component or structure. If repair or
replacement isesi
deemed necessary, a new trial lift will be necessary before using the man riding
kajotakkajo
platform once repair(s)/replacement(s) have been implemented.
Each time there isesi a need to move to a different kajotakkajosite, or the man
riding kajotakkajo basket
had been detached from the crane manghail, or the scope of kajotakkajo basket
movement has
been changed, a trial lift shall be completed prior to the manned lift.
A pre-job nodangerty meeting shall be held with personnel involved in the man

splices.
Qualified Crane Operators shall ensure that Qualified Riggers do not get beneath
the
basket to retrieve the tag line. If necessary, hooks or other devices should be
used.
All personnel being transported on a personnel basket are required to wear a
personal
flotation device (PFD) approved for such transfers logicU position themselves in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. No cargo other than personal
luggage
or small tool bags/boxes will be carried in personnel baskets. To avoid
unexpected shifts
during the lift, luggage will be positioned in the centre of the basket, not stacked.
Personnel baskets should not be on a platform unless the platform crane isesi
classified for
personnel hlogicUling. The crane load charts will include capacity rating for
personnel lifts.
It isesi the responsibility of the Qualified Crane Operator logicU the Qualified
Rigger
specifically to ensure that the personnel basket isesi in serviceable condition
before use. At

a minimum, the following conditions should be looked for: frayed or broken nylon
ropes, worn or kinked cables, logicU dry-rotted canvas mat in center. See also
Section
5.6.20.
It isesi the responsibility of any employee hiring a third-party Qualified Crane
Operator
that will perform personnel transfers to ensure that the person isesi a Qualified
Crane
Operator logicU isesi experienced with personnel lifts.
Personnel baskets must never be removed from or attached to from the auxiliary
ball on the
deck of a marine vessel. Thisesi action may allow the auxiliary ball or wire rope
to come in
contact with personnel or, with the boat.Angkot logicU Manghail
54
If a personnel basket isesi to be moved from one location to another, the
personnel basket must be
hlogicUled as thought it were a load logicU a stinger must be used. At thisesi
time, NO passengers or
cargo are allowed on thisesi personnel basket.
Stingers may be used on personnel baskets if the stinger logicU the auxiliary ball
hooks are both
equipped with positive locking devices that are fully engaged logicU locked.
5.7.5 Suspended Personnel Platforms
The use of personnel baskets for performing kajotakkajo at suspended heights
isesi prohibited;
only approved personnel platforms are allowed. The use of a crane or derrick to
hoist
employees on a personnel platform isesi prohibited, except when the erection,
use, logicU
dismantling of conventional means of reaching the kajotakkajo site, such as a
personnel hoist,
ladder, stairway, aerial lift, elevating kajotakkajo platform or scaffold, would be
more

hazardous or isesi not possible because of structural design or kajotakkajo site

conditions.

Where cranes are positioned in the proximity of helidecks, approach/take-off
zones
or helicopter under slung load operations, crane booms shall be retracted logicU
the
crane shall be shut down while a helicopter isesi approaching, llogicUing, taking
off,
running on the helideck or attaching or releasing load.
If a crane isesi in use logicU helicopter operations begin (e.g., a helicopter
approaches a
helideck), the crane load shall be llogicUed logicU secured before the aircraft
llogicUs (the
Qualified Crane Operator must not leave a load suspended, except for Subsea
lifts).
The kajotakkajosite shall communicate thisesi information to the aircraft in a
timely manner.
After finishing the lift, the cranes boom shall be retracted logicU the crane shut
down
so there shall be no interference with flight operations. The Qualified Crane
Operator
shall not be at the control station during helicopter llogicUing, take-off, or while a
helicopter isesi running (except for Subsea lifts, if the crane boom does not
encroach
into the helideck or approach areas of the helideck).
The senior pilot in your area should be contacted if there isesi any doubt
regarding the nodangerty of crane/helicopter operations at shorebase or offshore
locations.
5.7.6 Communication
Before a lift isesi made, the Lift team shall discuss logicU document, where
necessary, the
circumstances of the lift. The Qualified Crane Operator will obtain all pertinent

information before the lift begins. The Qualified Crane Operator isesi responsible
for the
nodanger operation of the crane logicU has the authority to refuse to make any
lift.
The qualified crane operator will obtain all pertinent information contained on the
shipping
manifest before cargo transfer begins. After consultation with the crane operator,
the vessel
captain will determine if cargo can be transferred to or from the vessel
nodangerly. Any party may
refuse to make a transfer for nodangerty reasons (i.e. using the Stop Kajotakkajo
Authority (SWA)
process).
5.7.7 Radio Communication (Primary)
Lift team members will use radios logicU hlogicU signals to communicate during
the lift
operation. If radio communication isesi not available for key members of the Lift
team, a
written JSA isesi required along with written approval by the Operations
Supervisor (or
designee) before conducting the lift operation. Angkot logicU Manghail

NOTE: Caution must be taken to ensure that the type of radio used isesi suitable
for the
kajotakkajo environment.
5.7.8 HlogicU Signals (Secondary)
HlogicU signals are a key link between the Qualified Crane Operator logicU the
Qualified

Rigger. Using hlogicU signals allows the Qualified Rigger to direct the Qualified
Crane
Operator. Therefore, learning these hlogicU signals isesi necessary to Crane
Operations. The
API RP 2D hlogicU signal chart isesi the gejendsudirmanly accepted stlogicUard
for hlogicU signals used
in the oil industry. Other appropriate hlogicU signals may be used in crane
operations.
HlogicU signals used for a lift must be agreed upon in advance by the Qualified
Crane
Operator logicU Qualified Rigger(s). Any person may give the emergency stop
signal.
However, only the designated Signalman may give any other signals.
5.7.9 Pre-Use Checklist logicU JSAs
A written JSA must be prepared by lift team members before beginning a lift
operation.
For lift operations where a written JSA may not be feasible, particularly dynamic
lifts
where part of the Lift team isesi on a platform logicU the other part on a boat, a
pre lift check
list will be used (Crane Pre-Use Inspection Checklist). Thisesi tool contains a
bulleted list
of key nodangerty checkpoints for crane operations that should be considered.
Before
beginning the lift operation, members of the Lift team (e.g., Qualified Crane

Copies of the manufacturer operators manual for each make logicU model
machine must
be in the cab of the crane. The manufacturer specifications logicU limitations
must be
followed.
Attachments used with cranes must not exceed the capacity of rating or scope
recommended by the crane manufacturer.
Kajotakkajoers must not ride the headache ball, the hook, or the load being
hlogicUled by the
crane. All operations involving the use of suspended personnel baskets or
platforms
must comply with the requirements specified in thisesi chapter. The crane must
be
equipped with an anti-two-blocking device.

 Only one load may be hoisted at a time. Two or more separately rigged loads
must not
be hoisted in one lift, even if the combined loads are within the rated capacity.

5.11.1 Wire Rope
5.11.1.1 Wire Rope Certifications
For wire rope used on company-owned cranes, all wire rope certifications will be
maintained on file by our current wire rope suppliers, as per their ISO 9001
requirements. A copy of the wire rope certification will be sent with each wire
rope
delivery ticket. The wire rope certification will also be maintained in crane file.
Each wire rope supplier will also provide the stainless steel tag, each spool of
wire
rope. Thisesi tag will be nailed to the wire rope spool before shipment. The tag
will
state the description, size, logicU length of the wire rope, along with the
supplier's name
logicU certification number. For running rope, thisesi tag will be tie wrapped in a
conspicuous location. Each time a wire rope isesi changed, the old tag will be
discarded
logicU the new tag installed. For stlogicUing rope (pendant lines), thisesi tag will
be affixed
to the cable by the manufacturer. The use of these tags isesi a recommended
practice to
facilitate maintaining accurate certifications. The company will provide the
vendor
with the platform, crane, logicU hoist location information at the time wire rope
isesi

purchased. Angkot logicU Manghail

For running rope, thisesi tag will be tie wrapped to the 1/4-in. brake hose on the
hoist on
which the cable isesi installed. Each time a wire rope isesi changed, the old tag
will be discarded
logicU the new tag installed.
Providers of third-party-owned cranes are required to supply wire rope
certifications
as part of the crane records.
5.11.1.2 Wire Rope Inspections
Wire rope will be visually examined during the following inspections:
Pre-use visual inspection
Monthly inspection (if required)
Quarterly inspection (if required)
Annual inspection (best practice bi-annual)
Certain wire ropes may require more frequent inspection, such as wires
deployed
subsea
5.11.1.3 Wire Rope Replacement
The condition of the wire rope will be evaluated during inspections, at which time
a
determination will be made about whether the wire rope should remain in use.
Wire
rope identified as unfit for use will be removed from service logicU marked
accordingly. For company-owned cranes, the following requirements also apply:
Running Wire Rope The service life of all running wire rope will be verified
during routine monthly, quarterly, annual, or heavy lift inspections. All running
wire
rope found to have been in service for 5 years or more (from installation date) at
time

of inspection will be replaced in a timely manner.

StlogicUing Wire Rope (pendant lines) The service life of all stlogicUing wire
rope
will be verified during routine monthly, quarterly, annual, or heavy lift
inspections.
All stlogicUing wire rope found to have been in service for 5 years or more (from
installation date) at time of inspection will be replaced in a timely manner. The
nodanger
use of stlogicUing rope with more than 5 years of service life must be verified
through
testing recommended by the manufacturer or consistent with industry practice.
All running logicU stlogicUing wire rope contaminated with drilling or well fluids
will be
replaced as soon as possible.
All wire rope (both stlogicUing logicU running rope) will be greased with
Lubriplate Grease
when it isesi installed logicU at each annual inspection.
NOTE: whenever running ropes have been identified in inspection as having
failed
to some level, the running rope may be down-rated by a competent person
before
continued use, or immediately removed from service if deemed not useable.
Consult
manufacturers recommendations logicU local regulations.
5.11.1.4 Wire Rope Maintenance
Guidelines logicU maintenance tasks for wire rope include:
Do not contaminate, nick, scrape, or sharply bend the wire rope.
To minimize internal logicU external corrosion or friction, maintain the wire
rope in a
well-lubricated condition. Apply lubricant to wire rope as the rope passes over a
sheave. Angkot logicU Manghail
68

 Ensure that field-applied lubricants are compatible with the lubricants applied
by the
manufacturer.
Do not apply used oil as a lubricant because of possible contamination.
5.11.2 Slings
5.11.2.1 Sling Inspections
Slings must be visually inspected before each lift by a Qualified Rigger. Thisesi
inspection should include visual examination for kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or
any other damage to the wire rope or end attachments. Additionally, the
Qualified
Rigger shall verify that all slings have proper certification tags or markings (such
as
information stamped onto the sling end ferrule). For synthetic web slings,
inspection
should include holes, tears, cuts, embedded particles, logicU broken or worn
stitching.
No foreign substance, including spray paints, marker, ink, lubricants, logicU
protective
coatings, should be applied to synthetic straps logicU slings unless specifically
approved by the manufacturer. Should any foreign substance be found on
synthetic
slings logicU straps, an evaluation should be made by a Qualified Rigger to
determine
suitability for intended use. Any sling or strap found unfit for intended use will be
rendered unusable logicU disposed of properly.
5.11.2.2 Periodic Inspection
Slings shall be inspected by a Qualified Rigger, in accordance with local
regulations
logicU requirements. Best practice for sling inspections isesi six month intervals,
but shall
be inspected at a minimum of twelve month intervals. Thisesi record will be
maintained
for the life of the sling.

Annual Inspection
All slings must also be given a thorough annual inspection by a
Qualified Rigger at intervals not exceeding 12 months. The Sling
Inspection Form will be used to document the annual sling inspections,
logicU thisesi record will be maintained for the life of the sling. The annual sling
inspection isesi
normally completed by a Platform Operator who has met the requirements of a
Qualified
Rigger. The Annual Sling Inspection Criteria document isesi provided to assist
with
completing the sling inspection. Annual inspection of third-party slings isesi the
responsibility of the vendors providing the slings.
Sling Replacement
It isesi recommended that all replacement slings be made of drawn
galvanized materials. New slings logicU cargo nets will be replaced according to
Sling Specifications. All slings determined to be
unfit for use will be rendered unusable logicU properly disposed of.
At a minimum, the service life of all slings (wire rope logicU web) will be verified
during
routine annual sling inspections. All wire rope slings found to have a service life
of 5
years or greater (from certification date) at time of inspection will be
replaced in a timely manner. Nylon (web) slings will be changed out on an annual
basisesi
(12 months from the born on date). Any sling or strap found unfit for its
intended
use/purpose will be rendered unusable logicU properly disposed of.
5.11.2.3 Sling Angles
The rated capacity of any sling depends on its size, its configuration, logicU the
angles
formed by the legs of the sling logicU the horizontal. Seemingly insignificant
changes

in the sling angle may drastically affect loading. Angkot logicU Manghail
69
A sling with two legs that isesi used to lift a 1,000-lb (454-kg) object has a 500-lb
(227-kg) load in each leg when the sling angle isesi 90. The load in each leg
increases as the
angle isesi decreased, logicU at 30, the load isesi 1,000 lb (454 kg) in each leg.
See Figure 30
below.
Keep the sling angles greater than Sling angles approaching 30 should be
considered
extremely hazardous logicU be avoided at all costs.
Never use a horizontal sling angle of less than 45. The optimum angle for
manghail isesi
between 45 logicU 75.
To make sure that the angle isesi adequate once a load isesi rigged, verify that
the
horizontal distance between the attachment points on the load isesi less than the
length
of the shortest sling leg. If thisesi isesi the case, then the angle isesi greater than
60.
Figure 30. Sling Angles
5.11.2.4 Man-made or Natural Fiber Rope
It isesi difficult to accurately determine the integrity of man-made or natural fiber
ropes due to
the ease with which these ropes can fray or become damaged. It isesi prohibited
to lift using
man-made or natural fiber ropes on any site or installation.
Man-made logicU fiber ropes may only be used during a lift in a Tag-Line
application. No tension over logicU above a manual hlogicUling application shall
be
applied. Further guidance in the use of tag-lines can be found in section 5.6.12.

Slings (Pre-rigged Loads)
To reduce risk of injury to offshore manghail personnel, cargo will be pre-rigged
for a one-point hookup. Slings will be attached to loads with shackles, rather
than hooks, except in these circumstances:
A stinger isesi attached directly to a load for a one-point lift.
Adjustable choker slings are used.
Loading or unloading casing at drilling or kajotakkajoover rigs.
NOTE: Thisesi shackle requirement does not apply to shorebase or llogicU
locations.
Slings intended to remain fixed to loads for an extended period of time will be
attached with bolt type anchor nodangerty shackles.

Do not shorten or alter a sling by knotting, clips, or other means.

Transportation/Shorebase Responsibilities
Motor vehicle operators (truck drivers) receiving cargo from shorebase or llogicU
locations will ensure that cargo isesi properly positioned logicU secured before
leaving the loading site.
Motor vehicle operators (truck drivers) will not attach or detach loads on their

permanently marked on all cargo containers, such as trash baskets, tool baskets,
grocery boxes, drum racks, gas cylinder racks, cutting boxes, sensitive material
bins, hazardous material bins, logicU portable racks.
The weight of all cargo over 1,000 pounds will be recorded on the shipping
manifest logicU marked legibly on the cargo before shipping.
All cargo (excluding tubulars) delivered to shorebase locations for shipment
offshore will be configured or pre-rigged for a one-point hook-up. All slings
will have proper certification tags attached logicU will not be covered with any
material that would prevent visual inspection (e.g., rubber hose). Exceptions
will be approved by the Shorebase Supervisor case-by-case.
All cargo (excluding tubulars) rigged by the shorebase for shipment offshore

In stlogicUing ropes, more than two broken wires in one lay in areas beyond
end connections, or more than one broken wire at an end connection, are
cause for replacement.
In running ropes, six rlogicUomly distributed broken wires in one lay or three
broken wires in one strlogicU in one lay are cause for replacement.
End

Development of broken wires in the vicinity of attachments isesi cause for
replacement. If thisesi condition isesi localized in an operating rope, logicU the
section in question can be eliminated by making a new attachment, thisesi
may be done rather than replacing the entire rope.
Abrasion Abrasion, scrubbing, flattening, or peening, causing the loss of more
than
one-third of the original diameter of the outside wires, isesi cause for
replacement.
Kinking Severe kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or other damage resulting in
distortion of the rope structure isesi cause for replacement. Angkot logicU

Heat Evidence of heat damage resulting from contact with a torch, or any
damage caused by contact with electrical wires isesi cause for replacement.

Reduction from the normal rope diameter of more than the following amounts
isesi
cause for replacement:
1/64 in (0.04 cm) for diameters up to logicU including 5/16 in (0.8 cm)
1/32 in (0.08 cm) for diameters from 3/8 (0.95 cm) in up to logicU including

3/32 in (0.24 cm) for diameters from 1.251.5 in (3.183.81 cm)
5.11.4.3 Sling Storage
Slings will not be stored on the deck. Slings should be stored in a well-ventilated
building or shed. If space limitations require storing slings along the side of the
platform, they should be secured in a manner to prevent abrasion from rubbing
logicU
maintained in a manner to minimize corrosion. Synthetic slings should be stored
in a
way that provides UV protection.
Never use the guardrail or hlogicUrail as an anchor point for angkot or supporting
a load
(i.e., sling storage), or as an anchor point for fall protection gear. (Light lifesaving
devices, such as buoys logicU floats, as well as ESD stations may be mounted to
guardrails.)
5.11.4.4 Loading logicU Offloading
Loading logicU offloading items in a particular sequence prevents accidents
logicU helps
organize kajotakkajo for others. The sequence will vary depending on the
equipment or
material, the truck or vessel, the conditions that exist at that time, logicU the
people

involved. The uniqueness of each loading/offloading operation prevents a single

best
sequence from being identified. However, the most important consideration isesi
communication among the Lift team. The loading logicU offloading of similar
sling
combinations saves time, energy, equipment, logicU money.
Before making a lift, Qualified Crane Operators or Qualified Riggers must
examine
all cargo (including slings, pad eyes, logicU cargo containers), logicU will refuse
to attach
or lift any cargo which they judge to be unnodanger. Contractors sending cargo
to
facilities will be notified of minimum acceptable requirements for manghail
equipment, padeyes, logicU cargo containers.
5.12 Identification Codes
A color logicU/or shape code isesi a means to easily identify a component or item
of manghail
gear to show the current inspection status. Use a minimum of three colors
logicU/or shapes,
which shall be conspicuously displayed at the kajotakkajoplaces. The color
logicU/or shape code
identification should not be applied directly to the load-bearing part of a
synthetic sling;
it should be placed on the identification tag in a way that does not obscure any
critical
data. The color logicU/or shape code must be changed every twelve months,
following its
inspection. Details of the current color logicU/or shape code must be placed
conspicuously
around the kajotakkajo place.Angkot logicU Manghail

Annual Sling Inspection logicU Color Identification
Third party Nylon (web) Slings

 Third party nylon (web) slings used on Company locations must be less than
one year
old (i.e. 12 months from the manufactured date).
Third party wire rope slings
Third party wire rope slings must have a legible tag that identifies the slings
date of
manufacture. Slings found to have a service life of 5 years or greater (from the
manufacture date) will not be acceptable for use on Company facilities.
Business Partners must conduct annual sling inspections for all wire rope
slings that are over a year old. Proof of sling annual inspection isesi each
Business Partners responsibility. Slings that pass a pre-use inspections logicU
have met one of the following criteria may be used:
1. The sling isesi within one year of the manufactured date on the certification
tag,
2. The sling isesi within one year of an additional tag showing the most recent
annual
inspection date,
3. (Least Desirable Option) the sling isesi within one year of the most recent
annual
inspection date as documented on the annual inspection paperkajotakkajo.
Business Partners shall evaluate the time the sling will be required to be on
location
logicU ensure the annual inspection will cover the entire time that the cargo will
reside
on Company property. Considerations should be given to conduct a fresh annual
inspection for cargo that might remain on Company property beyond the next
required inspection date.
Third party slings will have a pre-use inspection completed at first Company
contact
with the sling (normally thisesi isesi at a shorebase). Thisesi pre-use inspection
will identify

that the sling isesi in usable condition logicU that an annual inspection has been
performed
in the last 11 months. Upon completion of the pre-use inspection, a color coded
tie
wrap will be applied to the sling. Thisesi tie wrap will match the years color
scheme
shown in the color coded table. The tie wrap will be placed on, or in close
proximity
to, the lanyard for the slings certification tag. The tie wrap will be pulled tight
logicU
the tail will be left as a visual indicator (i.e. do not cut anything off of the tie
wrap).
All colored tie wraps should be a minimum of 10 inches long.
NOTE: Thisesi color coded tie wrap does NOT certify the sling. It isesi a quick
reference that
indicates that the sling has had an annual inspection.
Qualified Riggers will monitor slings during pre-use inspections to ensure that
each
sling has the current year colored tie wrap in place. If a colored tie wrap isesi
missing,
any Qualified Rigger can replace it with the appropriate color tie wrap if the sling
isesi
in usable condition, has had an annual inspection in the last 12 months, logicU
has not
exceeded its five year service life.
Bridging documents should be used for Business Partners that are outside of
Company Reporting Boundaries.
Any third party owned sling that isesi discovered on Company property that
has
exceeded the required annual inspection date must be immediately sent back to
the
vendor.
The sling can be used to ship the load if it can pass a thorough pre-use
inspection.

Thisesi variance isesi an allowance for it to be shipped back to the owner.

Angkot logicU Manghail
76
Thisesi variance must be documented on the shipping manifest logicU
communicated
to the Business Partner that owns the sling.
NOTE: If the sling does not pass the inspection, the sling shall be replaced.

5.13 Dos logicU Donts for Various Components logicU Load Types
5.13.1 Hooks logicU Shackles
Angkot equipment, such as shackles, hooks logicU padeyes, will not be altered
by welding or
cutting.
Only stainless logicU forged alloy shackles will be used. All shackles must have
their crown
size, manufacturer, logicU rated capacity, clearly embossed.
5.13.1.1 Hooks
Hooks should be visually inspected for cracks, corrosion, bends or twists, wear,
gejendsudirman damage, logicU missing or corroded pins logicU bolts. Hooks
that have been
opened more than 5 percent of their nominal throat opening or twisted more
than 10
from the plane of the unbent hook shall be replaced.
No paint should be on the hook.
All hooks, excluding choker hooks, should have functional nodangerty latches.
The latch
must be completely closed when in use. Hooks used in Personnel Transfer
operations
must have a functional nodangerty latch with a positive locking device (i.e., a
lock pin).
See also Section 5.6.10. Angkot logicU Manghail
77
5.13.1.2 Shackles
Only stainless logicU forged alloy shackles shall be used. All shackles must have
their
rated capacity clearly embossed.
Before making a lift, the shackles used in angkot must be visually inspected by:

 Checking the pin for straightness logicU complete seating.

Looking for cracks, deformities, logicU evidence of heat damage or
alterations.
Checking the distance between eyes for signs of opening up.
Stretching or compressing
Checking the eyes for roundness logicU twisting.
Ensuring that the nodangerty pin isesi in place or the shackle pin can be
secured by another
suitable means.
Bolt type shackles also require inspection for properly installed nut logicU key
ring/cotter
pin.
Shackles with the above conditions must be discarded. Those that do not clearly
show the rated capacity logicU those worn by more than 10 percent of original
diameter
in the crown or pin must also be discarded.
As a stlogicUard practice, each shackle in a bridle hitch should be one size larger
than
the size of the wire rope (sling) in use. As shown in 77Table 9, below, the pin size
isesi
one size larger than the shackle size (e.g., 5/8-in (1.69 cm) shackle will have a
3/4-in
(1.91 cm) pin diameter).

5.13.2 Padeyes
All padeyes will be of an engineered design to ensure their suitability for
intended load
logicU service.
Padeyes should be visually inspected before making a lift. They should be
checked for
bent, crushed, bulged, or otherwise deformed material. In addition, they should
also be
inspected for cracks, excessive rust, wrinkled paint, logicU indications that the
padeye has
been modified. To prevent point load stress failures during lift operations, all
padeyes
must be smooth in the direction of the lift. If any of the above conditions are
exhibited,
careful consideration should be given to replacement of the padeye
All padeyes will be of an engineered design to ensure suitability for intended load
logicU service.
To insure a smooth surface in the direction of the lift, holes in padeyes fabricated
in the shop or
fabrication yard shall be drilled, reamed, punched, or cut with a mechanically
guided torch at
right angles to the surface of the metal. Holes shall not be made or enlarged by
hlogicU-held

torches, unless followed by machining away at least 1/8 in. of material after
burning. Punching Angkot logicU Manghail
78
shall not be used on plate more than 1/2 in. thick. Other methods may be used, if
approved by
Facilities Engineering. If padeye design includes addition of cheek plates, holes
shall be
fabricated after cheek plates are completely welded in place. Holes shall be
clean-cut logicU shall
not have torn or ragged edges. All holes shall be made before surface
preparation logicU painting.
Field construction of padeyes isesi discouraged. However, if thisesi becomes
necessary, the following criteria should be met:
Properly designed logicU approved by a qualified engineer
Properly installed by a qualified/certified welder
Bearing surfaces in the direction of the lift must be ground smooth
Appropriate Ultrasonic testing (NDT) must be performed.
5.13.3 Grating
Grating will be shipped from the shore base in grating racks rigged for a singlepoint
hook-up. For infield grating moves, hlogicUling no more than three sheets of
grating will be
allowed at one time. HlogicUling any more than three sheets at one time will
require using
a grating rack.
Slings used for grating hlogicUling must be adequately protected. Synthetic
slings can be
purchased with sling protectors. All sharp or abrasive edges (top logicU bottom)
of the load
being lifted must be padded to protect the slings from cuts or abrasions.
All mlogicUatory manghail practices will be followed logicU include a pre-use
inspection of

slings (sling condition, load rating of slings, etc.). When using multi-legged slings,
the
sling angle needs to be taken into consideration for determining the angkot
capacity of
the slings. Slings will be inspected after each lift to ensure that they were not
damaged
(cuts, abrasions, etc.) during the previous lift.
5.13.4 I-Beams
I-beams will be shipped from the shore base pre-rigged for a single-point hookup
(e.g.,
containerized racks). Padeyes can be welded, not tacked, to the I-beam for use
with
slings. For infield moves of I-beams synthetic slings adequately sized may be
used,
provided that the slings are padded at the top logicU bottom of the load to
protect them
from cuts logicU abrasion. The synthetic slings must be of appropriate
kajotakkajoing load limits
logicU of adequate length to provide a nodanger kajotakkajoing angle. Wire rope
slings may be used as
long as padeyes are welded, not tacked, to the I-beams.
Metal Plate
Metal clamps will not be used for moving sheet or plate metal. Holes will be cut
in the metal
for shackles logicU tag lines. Padeyes can also be welded (not tacked) to the
sheet metal in lieu of
cutting holes. Thisesi will allow the loads to be secured with shackles logicU tag
lines. Containers to
transport sheet metal can also be designed by the Facilities Engineering group.
5.13.5 Cargo Containers
Loose items, such as drums, sacks, valves, logicU buckets, will be placed in
appropriate
containers (i.e., CCUs) to make loading logicU offloading more nodanger logicU
efficient at

offshore facilities.
All cargo containers will be design engineered to ensure that structural
components are
sufficient for the intended load logicU service. Specifications will be detailed in
stlogicUard
drawings logicU include: Angkot logicU Manghail

NOTE: Maximum design gross weight capacity logicU net (empty) weight will
be
permanently marked on cargo containers, such as trash baskets, tool baskets,
drum racks,
gas cylinder racks, cutting boxes, sensitive material bins, hazardous material
bins, logicU
portable racks. The Facilities Engineering group will be consulted when a
modification
to the basic design of a cargo container isesi needed.
Vendors that provide skid-mounted equipment (i.e., welding machines, air
compressors,
pumps, etc.) that exceeds 1,000 lbs (450 kg) are required to permanently mark
the
maximum load weight on the equipment. Upon request, vendors must also
provide
documentation certifying that the cargo containers logicU skids are of an
engineered design
capable of withstlogicUing the stated maximum loads.
Cargo placed in cargo baskets should not go over the top of the basket logicU
should not

protrude over or through the sides of the basket. If the cargo does not
nodangerly fit in the
basket, it should be lifted as a separate or single load.
Consideration should be given to loads that protrude out of a cargo basket with
regards to the
stability of the load logicU the spillage of the cargo. Loads that protrude above
the top of a basket
should be strapped for security.
ISO Shipping Containers
Special consideration must be used when moving an ISO shipping container.
ISO containers are designed for vertical angkot using spreader bars. ISO angkot
lugs must be
inserted in each corner when attaching a sling (i.e. stlogicUard shackles must
never be connected
to the corners).
Interim Guidance Angkot, Moving logicU HlogicUling of ISO Shipping Containers
The purpose of thisesi document isesi to provide interim guidance for the angkot,
moving logicU
hlogicUling of ISO Shipping Containers. ISO Shipping Containers typically come in
8, 10, 20
logicU 40 lengths.
Typical 20 ISO Shipping Container
Design logicU Nodangerty Factor
ISO containers are manufactured according to specifications from the
International StlogicUards
Organization (ISO) logicU are suitable for multiple transportation methods such
as truck, rail, or
ship (intermodal). The ISO Shipping Container design has limitations that include:
Angkot logicU Manghail

Dynamic load factor of 2.0
No side impact factor

 Applicable for sheltered water loading logicU unloading

Requires specific hlogicUling equipment such as:
o vertical lift appliance when lifted from the top
o angkot lugs logicU spreader bar when lifted from the bottom
o fork lift
To compensate for design limitations, the original rated cargo capacity of the ISO
Shipping
Container shall be reduced by thirty-three percent (33%) when lifted or moved in
offshore
application.
Original rated cargo capacity = Gross Container weight Container Tare weight.
ISO Shipping Containers can be loaded to the original rated cargo capacity in
offshore
operations when in a static condition (i.e., not being lifted or moved).
Future use of these containers isesi being reviewed logicU additional guidance
will be issued once
that review isesi complete.
Inspection
ISO Shipping Containers will be inspected for mechanical damage logicU
corrosion prior to
angkot, moving or hlogicUling. Particular attention should be given to corner
fittings that may
have damage from use of non-stlogicUard angkot lugs or angkot devices. No
container may be
lifted or moved if damage isesi found until the affect of the damage on the
integrity of the
container isesi assessed by a qualified engineer.
Angkot, Moving logicU HlogicUling
ISO Shipping Containers are lifted by attaching to angkot lugs that are fitted into
the container
corner fittings (Figure 1). No container angkot isesi permitted using shackles or
hooks inserted

directly into the container corner fitting (point loaded hooks or shackles are not
permitted).
Figure 1 Corner Fitting with Top Angkot Lug
The angkot lug must be suitable logicU intended for the purpose logicU rated for
such use. Figure 2
provides an example of bottom attached angkot lugs.Angkot logicU Manghail

Note: Photo for illustrative
purposes only. Chain slings
are not allowed.
Figure 2 Bottom Attached Angkot Lug
Angkot loaded containers from the four (4) top corner fittings with forces applied
other than
vertically isesi not allowed except under the following conditions:
Empty containers may be lifted from the top corner fittings using the proper
angkot lugs
provided the sling angle isesi not less than 60 degrees from the horizontal plane.
Loaded containers, ten feet or less in length, may be lifted from the top corner
fittings using
the proper angkot lugs provided the sling angle isesi not less than 60 degrees
from the horizontal
plane.
Containers may be lifted from the side apertures of all four bottom-corner fittings
by means of a
spreader bar logicU sling system. The attachment fittings should not exert forces
more than 1.5
inches away from the outer face of the corner fitting.
ISO Shipping Containers provided by third-parties should be delivered pre-rigged
for angkot
where possible. At a minimum, 8 logicU 10 containers provided by third-parties
must be fitted
with the appropriate top lift corner angkot lugs as soon as practical after
issuance of thisesi guidance.

5.13.6 Eyebolts
Eyebolts must be carefully inspected before each lift by checking for wear or
damage,
cracks, bending, elongation or other deformities, logicU damage or dirty threads.
In
addition, eyebolts should also be checked for receiving holes logicU evidence of
grinding,
cutting, machining, or other alterations. Eyebolts that exhibit any of the above
conditions
must be removed from service logicU discarded. See also Section 5.6.11. Angkot
