Additional requirements
Task 1. Identify activities and determine scope of work
Identify activities and determine scope of work. Check if the particular L&H operation has been
carried out before on the site as a risk assessment and lift plan might already exist. If they do exist
verify that they are still applicable (e.g. no changes to personnel, equipment, site layout or work
environment) and request required approval from relevant parties.

Task 2. Appoint Person-In-Charge (PIC)


The PIC is designated to plan the L&H operation and may or may not supervise the L&H operation
but is the focal point of authority for the safety and technical aspects of the operation.

MFD Procedure: Lifting and Hoisting

Task 3. Identify hazards and L&H category


The level of planning and risk assessment increases with the complexity of the L&H operation,
therefore:
1. Identify the applicable Hazards
2. Classify the L&H Category using the L&H categories in [Appendix 3 Lifting Categories]
3. Develop control measures as specified in [Appendix 3 Lifting Categories]

The Risk Assessment shall address the following but not limited to*:
 Availability of approved lifting points on load  Weight, size, shape and centre of gravity of load
 Cultural, communication and language difficulties  Method of slinging/attaching/detaching the load
 Overturning/load integrity/need for tag lines  Ground and underground considerations
 Initial and final load positions and how it will get there  Suitability and condition of Lifting Equipment to be used
 Lifting over live equipment  Number and duration of lift(s)
 Access and emergency escape routes for e.g. Banksman,  Environmental conditions including weather and
Slinger) permissible limits
 Pre-Use Inspection of equipment by Operator  Lighting in the pick-up and lay-down areas
 Working under suspended loads  Number of personnel required for task
 Experience, competence and training of personnel  Conflicting tasks in area
 Proximity hazards, obstructions, path of load (e.g.  Visibility of the load at all times by either the Lifting
potentially live electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic lines, Appliance Operator or the person guiding the load
underground conduits, bridges and overhead structures) (Banksman). He must maintain communication with the
Operator at all times either via hand signals, radio or a
relay Signal Banksman.
* MFD Guide Lifting & Hoisting [4] can also be used for identifying applicable Hazards.

For Routine L&H operations a generic Risk Assessment may be used.

Task 4. Develop Lift Plan and appoint L&H team


All Lift Plans, regardless of category must be signed by an authorized SIPD L&H signatory.
These signatories ALL work within the Logistics HSE Dept.

Prepare a Lift Plan using the form in [Appendix 2 Lift Plan] and identify:
 The competent person planning the lift
 Equipment required
 Personnel required and their particular roles
 Step-by-step instructions
 Communication methods to be used
 Contingency and rescue plans.

MFD Guide Lifting & Hoisting [4] should be used for developing the Lift Plan. All lifting activities
across Venture (Well, P&T, Asset) requiring a crane require a lift plan.
Appoint the L&H team and ensure that those involved are competent for performing their task, see
MFD Specification ‘Lifting & Hoisting Training & Competency’ [1].

Task 5. Assess Emergency Response Arrangements


Identify if the activity doesn’t block any emergency routes and if the existing Emergency Response
arrangements are sufficient to rescue people involved or affected by the activity. If in non-compliance
reassess the L&H activity (see Task 2) and/or develop a dedicated rescue plan.

MFD Procedure: Lifting and Hoisting

Task 6. Request Permit to Work


Request a work permit in accordance with MFD Procedure “Permit to Work’ [5].

Task 7. Mobilise L&H equipment to site


When mobilising the L&H equipment to site verify that:
 Access roads are strong enough to withstand axle load of mobile L&H equipment,
 Type of ground can withstand the maximum bearing pressures transmitted through the outriggers
 The L&H equipment is not erected too close to edge of an excavation or overhead cables.
 The L&H area is fenced off.

Task 8. Communicate Lift Plan and conduct Pre-Use Inspection


Prior to starting the L&H operations hold a Toolbox Talk with all personnel assigned to carry out the
L&H operation. The ‘10 questions for a safe lift’ [Appendix 1] must be covered during the Toolbox
Talk. Ensure that:
 All personnel involved in the lifting operation have their individual responsibilities clearly
allocated.
 All personnel have the opportunity to review the findings of the risk assessment and the details of
the Lift Plan [Appendix 2],
 Everyone clearly understands and agrees with the methods and control measures to be used,
 All lifting Equipment meets the requirements of MFD Specification ‘Design, Maintenance &
Inspection of L&H Equipment’ [3].

Task 9. Perform the L&H activity


 Conduct the L&H activity in strict accordance with the approved Lift Plan. Any variation from
the agreed Lift Plan must result in the job being stopped and reassessed to ensure continued safe
operation.
 The L&H Operator shall obey an emergency stop signal at all times, no matter who gives it.
 When lifting operations need to be controlled by signals, a designated signal person shall be
assigned. Signals between the Crane Operator and the designated signal person (Banksman /
Signaller) shall be audible or visible at all times.
 Stop L&H activities at or above 10.3 meters per second (20 Knots) wind speed.
 Complete pre-inspection checks - MFD Guide ‘Lifting & Hoisting’ [4] and MFD Specification
‘Lifting & Hoisitng of Personnel’ [3] provide several checklists to be used.

Moving the load


 Prior to lifting the PIC shall be satisfied that the load is secure and properly balanced and that the
load path is clear of obstructions and personnel
 The appropriate load-radius chart for the Lifting Appliance configuration in use shall be visible to
the operator.
 The Load to be lifted shall be confirmed to be within the rated capacity of the Lifting Equipment
and attached by means of suitable Lifting Accessories.
 The Operator of the Lifting Appliance shall not leave the operating controls while the load is
suspended.
 At commencement of the first lift the Lifting Appliance Operator shall carefully check the
operation of the hoist brake to ensure no slippage occurs

MFD Procedure: Lifting and Hoisting

 Take up sling slack to confirm that the Lifting Appliance hook has been positioned centrally over
the load lifting point, adjust the Lifting Equipment as necessary to minimize any ‘drift’ of the load
as it is lifted
 No external forces shall be applied to the load that create significant side loading of the Lifting
Equipment
 For crane operations appropriate tag lines shall be used to control the load– large or long loads
with flat sides that could act as a ‘sail’ are particularly prone to spinning and tag lines shall be used
– tag lines shall be secured to the load and not to the rigging slings
 Cranes shall not be used for dragging a load unless properly rigged for a vertical pull
 No fewer than five (5) full wraps of rope must remain on the winch drum in any operating
conditions.

Task 10. Demobilise L&H equipment


Demobilise equipment, return Work Permit [5] and leave the site safe.

MFD Procedure: Lifting and Hoisting

Inspection competent person before each use. In determining the suitability and scope of the
inspection, reference should be made to information such as manufacturer’s
instructions and relevant industry standards.
Person in The person who has overall responsibility for the L&H activity. The Person in
Charge Charge plans the lift operation with any personnel to whom responsibility has
(PIC) been delegated, and monitors the development of safety features for lift
operations and the lifting operation.
Personnel A Personnel Platform/Carrier is designed and intended to give access to a work
Platform/ place at height for personnel and their tools and equipment to carry out minor work
Carriers or inspections at a limited time. The platform is not designed for the actual transfer
of personnel or to be used as a hoisting or lifting tool.
Routine Lifts These are lifts involving loads of known or evaluated weight, shape and centre of
gravity. The Routine Lift will be performed in normal environmental conditions
(e.g. not in adverse weather) using standard rigging arrangements. Examples of
Routine Lifts are loading/off-loading supply vessels and vehicles, moving grocery
boxes, lifting re-bar, and delivering concrete by skip.
Rigger Competent person who is able to plan and execute a rigging job by moving the load
horizontally, vertically and possibly through different floor levels, by use of different
L&H equipment.
Safe The maximum load (as determined by a competent person) which an item of Lifting
Working Equipment may raise, lower or suspend under particular service conditions, e.g. the
Load (SWL) SWL can be lower than, but can never exceed, the WLL.
Normally SWL = WLL unless the Lifting Equipment has been de-rated.
Suspended A device fitted out for the transportation of persons to a workplace at height by
Basket attaching the suspended basket using its own hoisting accessories to a hoisting
installation (crane).
Toolbox Toolbox Talk, also known as ‘Toolbox Meeting’ and ‘Tailgate Meeting’, is required
Talk to be carried out for all work with significant safety exposure. The Toolbox Talk
must be done at the work site. It is the final check in the hazard assessment process
and the start of the implementation of the work. The Toolbox Talk shall cover the
work plan, the hazards, the controls, roles & responsibilities, and any recovery
measures to be taken if the controls are not completely effective.
Working The maximum load, determined by the manufacturer, which an item of Lifting
Load Limit Equipment is designed to raise, lower or suspend. Some standards and documents
(WLL) refer to WLL as the ‘maximum SWL’.
