TABLE OF CONTENT
2 RESPONSIBILITY
When appointing a crane team it is essential that all the members of that team are fully
aware of the role and duties and that each person has sufficient knowledge, training and
experience to carry out their role.
Records of training and experience are to be verified prior to any new member joining the
crane team and their details are to be retained in the site file by reviewing certification of
skilled labour.
5. Ensure the crane operator, work leader and riggers/ signaler are fully briefed in the
contents of the lift plan / method statement etc.
6. The appointed person is able to delegate his duties to another person but
the
7. responsibilities still remain the appointed persons.
2. The rigger / signaler are responsible for the safe movement of the crane and clear
direction must be given whether visual or hand signals.
3. Where more than one rigger / signaler is required, clear instruction must be given
when passing responsibility over to the next rigger / signaler.
4. The rigger / signaler is to store lifting accessories in a suitable place when not being
used and prior to re-using an accessory he must visually inspect it before use.
5. The rigger / signaler must notify the appointed person of any damaged equipment
immediately.
before, a competent person will prepare a Lifting Plan. This has to be initiated by the
executing department. To define the lift the following parameters are established:
1. Load weight, shape, center of gravity and availability of adequate lifting points
(Described in Appendix)
2. Initial and final load positions and how it will get there (Described in Appendix)
3. The environment in which the Lifting Equipment will be used (Described in Appendix)
3.2 Planning
3.3 Execution
▪ At commencement of the first lift the Crane Operator shall carefully check the
operation of the hoist brake to ensure no slippage occurs
▪ Take up sling slack to confirm that the Crane 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
4.1 Application
This Lifting Plan is only applicable to Storage tank and Piping construction and erection
(Menggung facilities). As such, this document is mandatory and shall be adhered to by
all parties, involved in lifting operations.
