1,0 PURPOSE

This document replaces the “Method Statement for Lifting Operation up to 10 Tones”
with current tile “Lifting Plan for Tower Components (Transmission tower lattice)” to
provides the procedure to be used for crane operational practices. The key to safe
crane operation is having AHC Competent Person 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 practices to be used by these people
as part of a safe and effective crane and rigging program. In particular, below standards
of Lifting Operations shall be complied. Safety manager shall ensure that every Lifting
operation involving Lifting equipment is:

Properly planned by a competent person

Appropriately supervised
Carried out in a safe manner
In this regulation "Lifting operation" means an operation concerned with the Lifting or
lowering of a load.

2.0 SCOPE & ACTIVITIES

Lifting of Transmission tower lattice from 1.5 TONS to 7.00 TONS USING 60 T MOBILE
CRANE.

This procedure applies to all AHC lifting operations. The lift plan process describes the
systematic assessment of important load factors and site factors. It is as applicable to
“simple” routine lifts as well as non-routine lifts. Planning a non-routine lift requires
considerable effort. In a lift determined to be non- critical, many of the elements can be
determined "by inspection"; and the depth involved in a non-routine lift will not be
required. Nevertheless, the planning process must be followed. This procedure
prohibits a person from riding or travelling on the load, lifting hook, sling, platform or
other lifting medium.

This document should be used as a reference, to aide for Lifting operations and Lifting
equipment and AHC workers to consider the safety factors when they assess, plan,
supervise and carry out Lifting activities.

tower parts No.1, No.2, No.3, No.4 & No.5 with a travel distance as per radius mention
on drawing 4 Meter to 8 Meters from fixing point of the towers to the Mobile crane.

(Please see attach Plan View of Lifting Location)

COMMUNICATION OF LIFT PLAN

Prior to starting of lifting operations a competent person/Site Engineer shall hold a

toolbox talk with all personnel assigned to carry out the lift. Application of the
questions for a safe lift’ to the lift shall be covered during the toolbox talk. The person-
in-charge 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/fixing 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 lift
plan to ensure that everyone clearly understands and agrees with the methods and
control measures to be used.

CONDUCTING THE LIFTING OPERATION

Lifting operations shall be conducted in strict accordance with the approved by SEC lift
plan. Any variation from the lift plan shall result in the job being stopped and
reassessed to ensure continued safe operation. The lifting 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/Rigger shall be assigned.
Signals between the lifting crane operator and the designated signal person (rigger)
shall be audible or visible at all times. The appropriate load-radius chart for the lifting
appliance configuration in use shall be visible to the operator. 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.
Tower is been on sequence step start from Tower part No. 1, 2 ,3, 4 & 5 the lifting area
must be barred and Lifting Signage should be installed with the present rigger

AHC Safety Engineer/Officer must ensure that the lifting area is been properly
barricaded and all workers must wear proper PPE’S

TOOLS & EQUIPMENT:

One hook, Slings as required, Shackles. Signal Flag (Red & Green)
Barricades, Full body harness, Life line, Warning Signage (e.g. On Going Lifting)
PPE (Adequate personal protective equipment)
Crane 60 T, Ambulance, First Aider.

WORK METHODOLOGY:
Prior to carry out any work all materials & equipment shall be ready and inspected at
site by rigger, operator including AHC Safety Engineer/Officer. All workers involve in
this job should be oriented properly by pre-task briefing prior to start lifting process
and tool box meeting. The planned positions of the crane must be marked before
working. A safety clear zone consisting of the radius + 10m should be identified 360
degrees around all cranes. The load must be controlled by tag line only. The operator
must make sure that the safe angle inserted in the crane computer. Use chain pullers to
connect the lifting belt & chiller body in the bump side to avoid any swinging. Control
the length of the hook to get perfect balance by using spirit level for indication.

Note:
All workers must use helmet, safety shoes, vest, gloves & glasses. The communication
must be by the rigger only by using lifting signals.

MOVING THE LOAD

Prior to lifting the Rigger & Safety Engineer/Officer shall be satisfied that the load is
secure and properly balanced and that the load path is clear of obstructions.
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 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.

REACTING TO CHANGING CONDITIONS

All critical lifting parameters (e.g. weather, (raining, sand storm, visibility, stability and
slope, surrounding operations and installations, site access and egress, Lifting
Equipment, personnel) shall be identified during the risk assessment and preparation
of the Lift Plan.

AHC Safety will not allowed any lifting activities in site, if the present wind speed will
above 32KPH all lifting activity in site shall be suspended. During heavy sand storm and
zero visibility condition AHC Site lifting activity will be suspended not and less if the
climate and weather condition will be on normal condition including wind speed.

The AHC Safety ensure that these conditions are monitored as lifting operations
proceed to ensure continued safety of Lifting Process. If, as part of the operation and
maintenance of equipment, the computer system shuts down the operation, the load
must be placed on the ground and a new lift plan must be developed, eliminating the
condition that caused the shutdown. Procedures for recovering and landing the load in
the event of the lift being aborted shall be clearly identified.

6.0 CRANE

Daily / Pre-Use Inspections

These inspections must be performed and documented by the CRANE operator prior to
first use each day or shift the CRANE is used. These checks ensure that audible and
visual warning equipment is working correctly by carrying out function tests prior to
any lifting operations.

Before each operation or series of operations, the Operator shall:

Perform a pre-operational check to demonstrate operational readiness of the crane. If
controls do not operate properly, the Operator is responsible for notifying the
supervisor. Repairs and adjustments are made before operations begin. Ensure the
equipment is within inspection and testing intervals by examination of the periodic
certification tags and/or documentation. Adhere to all tags on the controls Ensure, if
fitted, that seat belts are worn when operating must be repaired
