1 OBJECTIVE
To define controls for the planning and execution of lifting & hoisting (L&H) activities for the
Majnoon Field Development (MFD).
2 APPLICATION
This Procedure is part of the MFD Lifting & Hoisting Handbook and must be read together with
MFD Specification ‘Lifting & Hoisting Training & Competence’ [1], MFD Specification ‘Design,
Maintenance & Inspection of Lifting & Hoisting Equipment’ [2], MFD Specification ‘Lifting &
Hoisting of Personnel’ [3] and MFD Guide ‘Lifting & Hoisting’ [4].
3 SCOPE
This Procedure applies to all aspects of L&H activities using pedestal cranes, mobile cranes, overhead
and gantry cranes, A-frames, jib cranes, derricks, hoists, and special hoist-supported personnel lifting
devices.
This Specification does not apply to elevators (lifts) in buildings, jacking, diving operations, well
operations involving the crown block, travelling block, and top drive systems, mining and earth
moving, lumber (timber) logging, mobile work platforms, vehicle maintenance lifts, helicopter lifting,
operation by piling machines, and manual lifting.

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.
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.
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].
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.

8 DEFINITIONS
Assessor A person who makes judgments of skills and knowledge of a crane driver
(operator), slinger and banksman.
Authorised A person authorised and assigned responsibility to perform work in accordance
Person with MFD Lifting & Hoisting Handbook. An Authorised Person has Proficiency
assured at Skill level for the specified activity. The term Authorised Person is a
functional description of the role rather than a job title. The job titles of persons
assigned the requirements e.g. Operator, Electrician, Inspector.
Authorised A person authorised and assigned responsibility to develop and approve
Subject Procedures for a specified subject area such as Lifting and Hoisting. An
Matter Authorised Subject Matter Expert has Proficiency assured at Skill level and is
Expert Accredited at a professional level in the specified subject area, typically with an
external qualification such as a degree, certification or licence. The term

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’.
