5. Activities and operating methods

5. Activities and operating methods


Every lifting and hoisting operation has to be performed applying all safety
measures described in this procedure.
All lifting operations shall have a lift plan; hazard identification and risk
assessment are an integral part of the plan. The detail required is related to the
risk and complexity of the lift. For this reasons SH-FCP distinguishes between
critical and non-critical lifting. A critical lifting is a lift that has at least one of the
following features:
ƒ Weight of load equal or superior to 10 tons or in excess of 90% of the rated
capacity of the lifting appliance,
ƒ Tandem lifting,
ƒ Lift over or in the proximity of active or energised hydrocarbon-containing
equipment or pipe or manned facility with weight equal or superior to 1 ton;
ƒ Lifting of personnel.
If after the hazard identification and risk assessment some other specific issues
are highlighted (e.g. lifting near electrical lines, continuation of a lifting with
different appliances/equipment or personnel than was used to initiate the
operations, etc.) the lifting shall be considered critical even if no one of the
previous feature is met.
The critical lifting activities are furthermore divided in routine and non-routine
lifting. A routine lifting has all the features reported below:
ƒ Equipment used at the same location,
ƒ Same equipment,
ƒ Stable, know environment,
ƒ Familiar, competent equipment operators,
ƒ Load has known and evaluated weight shape and centre of gravity,
ƒ Standard rigging arrangements.

5.1 Hazard identification and risk analysis

An assessment of the lift and determination of the lift method, equipment and
number of people required is critical to planning the lift. The performing contractor

pro hse 013 SH-FCP r01


  13

This document is the property of OC SH-FCP. All rights reserved


Lifting and Hoisting Operations
 

shall do hazard identification and risk assessment to study the complete lifting
operation.
This hazard assessment should include, but not limited to, the following potential
hazards that are common to a lifting operation:
ƒ Working in or near elevated power cables;
ƒ Working in or near congested area;
ƒ Ground condition (hollow or soft ground condition);
ƒ Meteorological limitation, weather condition (high wind velocity);
ƒ Violent swinging (failure to use tag line and guide rope);
ƒ Falling from height (access to secure or release rigging points);
ƒ Failure of crane load bearing structure and failure of lifting equipment;
ƒ What is to be lifted, its weight configuration, lift points, centre of gravity.

5.2 Lift Planning

Each lift has to be classified by the contractor performing the activity according to
the paragraph 5 and to the scheme reported in Figure 1.
For the simple lift, whenever with the hazard identification and risk analysis no
critical issue emerges; the lifting plan shall be prepared according to the format in
Appendix A and be attached to the related permit to work.
For the routine critical lift a general lifting plan, realized according to Appendix
B, is needed. An onsite risk assessment will check the validity of the plan that has
to be developed as explained below:
ƒ The contractor performing the activity finalize a “manual” (that is not
considered an exhaustive lifting plan), where all the lifting appliances that can
be used are reported. For these the most severe configuration has to be
evaluated (radius, load to the ground, etc.) considering the load that can be
potentially lift in the site.
ƒ Once the “manual” is finalized all lifting equipment and involved personnel
have to be checked in order to verify that they correspond to what reported in
the lifting plan.

Lifting and Hoisting Operations
 

ƒ When a routine critical lift has to be executed the contractor has to integrate
the general lifting plan with the specific lifting appliance configuration and
position and all the other informations needed for the correct execution of the
lift.
The general lifting plan for routine critical lifts shall be formally reviewed and re-
issued periodically.
For the non-routine critical lift one detailed lifting plan has to be realized
according to Appendix C. The lift plan shall clearly address at least the following:
ƒ Lifting appliance data (model/type, serial number, load rating, construction
year, etc.);
ƒ Equipment required and certification checks;
ƒ Lifting appliance configuration (appliance weight, counterweight, load weight,
total weight, mats dimensions, radius, maximum ground pressure, etc.);
ƒ Description of the load (shape, weight, centre of gravity, and lifting point);
ƒ Description of all the lifting accessories (sketch and detailed description of the
number of accessories, their load rating, length, lifting point, angles of loading,
stress, etc.);
ƒ The type and number of personnel required and their specific roles,
responsibilities and competences;
ƒ Communication method;
ƒ Description of boundary conditions (underground services, aerial lines or pipe
near the lifting activity, physical barriers to avoid that personnel not involved
in the activity stand in the working area, etc.);
ƒ Management of site area, access, positioning and egress of lifting appliances
and of the load (description of how many, what kind and how the lifting
appliances access/egress from the site, description of eventually storage areas,
etc.);
ƒ Step-by-step description of lifting phases;
ƒ Potential impact from nearby simultaneous operations;
ƒ Any potential environmental restrictions (weather, sea state, lighting strikes,
wind speed, etc.)

with the following but not limited to:
ƒ Soil investigation for soft condition, air pockets and underground services (e.g.
power lines, sewer line or drainage);
ƒ Soil shall be compacted to ensure it is capable of taking the whole loading
during lifting operation (i.e. crane, total weight of load, weight of lifting
equipment and impact load).
ƒ Affected lifting area shall be kept clear of any obstruction, above or
underground services and any other conflicting activities which may exist
within the lifting area.

5.3.2 Pre-lift Meeting


For each lifting, before the lifting operation starts the person in charge shall
conduct a pre-job meeting at the work site to review the lift plan with the lift team
and ensure that clear communication procedures are in place. The person in
charge has the responsibility to keep evidence of the meeting (using the format of
Appendix F) and to assure that every person involved in the lifting activity
participates at this toolbox talk.
Such meetings should include information such as, but not limited to, the
following:
ƒ Roles and responsibilities of each individual including verification checks to be
performed before a lifting operation;

5.3.3 Pre-Operation Inspection


The person in charge shall ensure that a visual inspection for each category of
lifting activity is performed both for the lifting appliances (e.g. cranes, hoist), both
for lifting accessories. The personnel responsible for these inspections are
formalized in the pre-job meeting minute as per appendix F. Generally a qualified
crane operator shall perform the visual inspections.
Once the crane is set and all lifting equipment attached to the intended load, the
person in charge shall conduct a final inspection on the crane and all its
accessories. The following shall be considered during the final inspection as a
minimum:
ƒ Working conditions of all mechanical parts on the crane. Mechanical parts
referred to brakes, winches, pulleys and drums.
ƒ Working conditions of all safety devices on the crane. Safety devices referred
to limit switches, load indicator and radius indicator.

Lifting and Hoisting Operations
 

ƒ During all lifting operations the load should be lifted only a nominal distance in
the first instance. This trial lift allows the crane operator to verify his
estimations of balance, stability, and general safety of the load, whilst it is in
relatively safe position. If any anomalies are detected, the load should be
lowered and the problem is investigated, slinging revised, The sequence of trial
lifts and adjustments should be repeated until he is satisfied that the load is
balanced, stable and secure and lifting can process safely.
ƒ Before landing any lifted load, a complete check should be performed to ensure
that the lay down point is of adequate size and capable of taking the weight of
the load. In addition, it may be necessary to provide suitable landing packing,
e.g. timber bearers, to enable the slings to be removed from under the load.
ƒ Special precautions are put in place for laying down loads which contain
substances which may be harmful to people, environment or structures.

5.5 Lifting equipment


Lifting equipment, that include the lifting appliance (e.g. cranes, hoist, winches
etc.), the lift accessories (e.g. shackles, slings, spreader bars, pad-eyes etc.) and
the lifted equipment (e.g. baskets, containers, piece of equipment, etc.), all shall
