1 - LIFTING
OPERATIONS PROMPT CARD
Front Back
The lifting operation is a ‘Simple Lift’ if:
 Lift path and landing area verified as clear
 Lifting over low risk areas for example, pipe
  bays, open deck areas and areas where no other
 

operations are taking place  

LIFTING OPERATIONS
 

 Non-complex rigging arrangements  for example,

PROMPT CARD lifting tubulars, loads with dedicated lifting points
I MUST  Use a Lifting Operations Prompt Card
 Only one lifting appliance used to conduct the lift
 

 Use a lift plan for all complex lifts

 

 Inspect lifting equipment before and after  The task does not involve:  

use

 

A blind lift
 Work “hands free” at every opportunity
 

 Confirm load path and landing areas are

 A heavy lift over 10ton
 

clear  Lifting of personnel

 

 Use Transocean communication

 

protocols If the above criteria cannot be met, then a

 

Lift Plan must be completed

 

Potential Task Hazards  

 No clear supervision Before commencing any lift, ask:  

 No designated roles
Is the weight of the load within the SWL of the
 

 Inadequate
communications
lifting equipment?  

 No planned TOFS
 

What pre-lift checks must be carried out before this

 Failure to recognise change
 

load can be lifted?

 Inexperienced crew
 

members What has been done to eliminate dropped objects

 

 Uncontrolled work areas from this lifting operation?

 

 Inadequate task planning  

 Incorrect selection of What measures have been taken to prevent 

equipment personnel entering the load path and landing area?

 

 Incorrect equipment
How has the load path and landing area been
 

inspection
verified as clear?
 

 Uneven surfaces  

 Rig motion, sea state and

weather conditions
What communication problems could occur during
 

 Incorrect rigging this lifting operation?  

What is the current lifting equipment color code?

 

 Personnel in load path  

 Handling of loads What potential collision points were identified?

 

 Equipment failure
How could the centre of gravity affect the stability of

the load?
 

 Static Dropped Objects

 No clear escape routes
 

 Equipment collision What Is the load rating of the landing area?

How can the weather condition and sea state affect
this lifting operation?
What checks have been carried out on the lifting
equipment safety devices or fails safes?
What attachments to the load must be
disconnected before the lift?
What hands free tools are being used during this
lifting operation?
If you are unsure of the answers or any of the
Shackle load angle
questions call a TOFS and seek further input
