1. Introduction
In order to provide a safe system of work and to ensure compliance with current legislation
this site lifting plan has been developed and is to be implemented by every member of the
crane team involved with GEG Installation project.
It is vital that all lifting operations are properly planned by a competent person and that the
plan is followed by everyone involved in the operation.
This plan is to be read by all team members involved in lifting operations; this must be done
prior to any lifting being carried out.
It is essential that all team members are fully competent and certified to carry out their
individual roles.
It is essential that all team members are confident that they can fulfil their duties especially
when works may need to be carried out at height.
1.1 Purpose
This document provides the procedure to be used for crane operational for GEG
Installation at Rawa Power Plant.
The key to safe crane operation is having qualified personnel using the correct
equipment in a safe manner. This procedure will outline the issues relating to the
selection of the correct people for the task. It will describe the operational of Lifting and
rigging task to be used by these people as part of a safe and effective crane and rigging
program.
1.2 Scope
This procedure applies to lifting operations of GEG Installation in Rawa Power Plant.
The lift planning process describes the systematic assessment of important load factors
and site factors. It is as applicable to ”heavy” non-routine lifts. Planning a non-routine lift
requires considerable effort. In a lift determined to be complicated non-routine lift, many
of the elements can be determined "by inspection"; and the depth involved in a non-
routine lift will be required. However, the planning process must be followed.
This procedure prohibits a person from riding or travelling on the load, lifting hook, sling,
as built facilities or other lifting medium.
The lifting operation team organization chart is shown below and roles and duties are
continued beneath.
This role can be carried out by the appointed person or may be delegated to someone
with appropriate expertise in lifting operations.

that significant changes have not taken place then lifting operations may proceed
under the requirements of the Lift Plan subject to approval by the lifting engineer.
If the lifting operations have not been carried out 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:
Load weight, shape, centre of gravity and availability of adequate lifting points
(Described in Appendix C - Drawing of GEG Installation Using Crane 100 tonnes)
Initial and final load positions and how it will get there (Described in Appendix B & C
- Drawing of GEGInstallation Using Crane 100 tonnes)
The environment in which the Lifting Equipment will be used (Described in Appendix
A - JSA for GEG Installation)
3.2 Planning
3.2.1 Assesing the lifting operation hazards
For every lifting operation the risks have to be assessed and controlled. KPI will
be carried out Job Safety Analysis (JSA) prior to any lifting operation to identify
associated hazards, their hazard risk level should be reduce until it is safe for
work. The Job Safety Analysis (JSA) format are shown in the Appendix A.
The assesing the risks of hazards will be included the following aspects and
activities:
Cultural, communication and language difficulties
Weight, size, shape and centre of gravity of load
Availability of approved lifting points on load
Method of slinging/attaching/detaching the load
Overturning/load integrity/need for tag lines
Suitability and condition of Lifting Equipment to be used
Initial and final load positions and how it will get there
Ground and underground considerations
Lifting over live equipment
Number and duration of lift(s)
Conflicting tasks in area
Environmental conditions including weather and permissible limits
Lighting in the pick-up and lay-down areas
Proximity hazards, obstructions, path of load (e.g. potentially live electrical,
hydraulic or pneumatic lines, underground conduits, bridges and overhead
structures)
Working under suspended loads
Access and emergency escape routes for the Lifting Appliance Operator and
load handlers (e.g. Rigger, Slinger)
Experience, competence and training of personnel
Number of personnel required for task
Pre-Use Inspection of equipment by Operator
Visibility of the load at all times by either the Lifting Appliance Operator or the
person guiding the load (Rigger). He must maintain communication with the
Operator at all times either via hand signals, radio or a relay Signal Rigger.

3.3 Execution
3.3.1 Communication of Lifting Plan
Prior to starting of lifting operations a competent person shall hold a Toolbox
Talk with all personnel assigned to carry out the lift. The Person-in-Charge (PIC)
shall be clearly identified and made known to all members of the lift team and
personnel in the proximity.
All personnel involved in the lifting operation shall have their individual
responsibilities clearly allocated.
All personnel should have the opportunity to review the findings of the risk
assessment and the details of the Lifting Plan to ensure that everyone clearly
understands and agrees with the methods and control measures to be used.
(Details described in Appendix D - Lifting Study Form)
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
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
