1. INTRODUCTION
This document has been formulated in order to plan and execute safe and effective lifting operations and
implement inspection, maintenance requirements associated with the safe use and operation of lifting
equipment.
2. SCOPE
This document provides guidance to all personal involved in lifting operation to plan, the frame and means
to carry-out lifting operations classified as Generic / Routine Lifts in PDO Lifting & Hoisting Procedure
PR- 1709 and inspection and maintenance of all lifting equipment used and maintained on Al Shawamikh
Oil Services operations.
3. REFERENCES
• SP 1239 – PDO specification for lifting equipment and lifting operations

• SP 1251 – PDO specification for training requirements for lifting operations personnel.
• PR 1508 – PDO procedure for lifting operations.
• PR 1709 – Lifting and Hosting Procedure Lift Plan execution
• PR 2273 - Specification for Lift Planning and Execution
4. LIFT PLANNING AND EXECUTION
Safe and successful lifting operations depend, in large part, on the continued safety of the lifting
equipment and accessories that are used. Failures in this kind of equipment can result in significant or
even fatal injuries. Health and safety law therefore places a number of specific obligations on those
providing, controlling and using lifting equipment to properly manage these risks.
In addition to the requirements for safe design and construction, all lifting equipment should also be
checked and maintained as necessary to keep it safe for use, so:
• users may need to undertake simple pre-use checks (e.g., on lifting chains and slings), or make
checks on a daily basis (e.g., for lift trucks)
• in some cases, inspections and checks should be made on a regular basis, often weekly, but
this may be on a monthly or quarterly basis (e.g., the checks undertaken by an operator on their
crane)
• employers should ensure that lifting equipment is thoroughly examined (normally once or twice
a year but, in some cases, this may be more or less frequent)
Before performing any lifting, the executer party shall plan and prepare for the task. They shall make sure
that they know where they are going, that the area is clear of obstacles, and they have a good grip on the
load. This includes training of the workers on how to handle loads correctly.

4.1 Site Survey
It is essential that a survey be conducted to establish details of load to be lifted i.e., weight, size (length,
width, etc.), type of lifting lugs, web slings, etc., details of the ground conditions, the lifting route, the
access route. The survey shall be completed by a competent person(s).
4.2 Risk Assessment
The site survey is an ideal time to begin a risk assessment of the proposed lifting operations that will be
carried out. The aim of the risk assessment is to prevent incidents and/or accidents that arise from
hazards during the lifting operations. With the identified hazards, the risks posed by these hazards can
be reduced to as low as reasonably practical through the implementation of control measures, using the
principle of the hierarchy of controls. A competent Risk Assessor or Practitioner shall lead these risk
assessments to ensure thoroughness. If a competent person is not available at site and point of lift,
inform the head office management team so measures can be taken to ensure this. Lifting and hoisting
are critical aspects of operations that need to be managed in a very careful way in order to reduce
potential of incidents.
4.3 Lift Plan
Only a competent person shall initiate the lift plan. The Lifting Plan is a set of plans which is created for
use in any lifting operation. All lifting operations shall be accompanied by a lifting plan, task risk
assessment and PTW. The appointed person shall initiate the lift plan. The lift plan shall be prepared and
documented for every lift. Lift plans shall include the following aspects, but are not limited:
• 10 Questions for a Safe Lift.

• Lift plan title, description and scope
• Location where the task will be performed
• Lift Plan number, date and revision number
• Method of Hands-Free Lifting to be used (e.g., Tag Line, push pull poles)
• Method of communication
• Lift categorization
• Signatures and names of persons providing approval
• Load details including descriptions, dimensions weight and Centre of Gravity
• Details of the Lifting Appliance(s) to be used and its safe operating limits
• Configuration of appliance(s) and SWL at the radius used (percentage of utilization)
• Applied ground bearing pressure

Revision Number
04-Dec-2020
R03
• Capacity of ground at the task location

• Number of personnel required for the task and their roles
• Details of Lifting Accessories used
• Method statement including sequence of steps to be followed (step by step procedure)
• Sketches and drawings and or photographs of plan view
• Rigging arrangement (lifting accessories) and calculations
• Task risk assessment / Job hazard analysi
4.4 Categorizing Lifting Operations
There are generally two types of lift, Routine and Non-Routine. Categorizing the type of lift before planning
the lift and documenting in a lifting plan is critical because it allows for the proper assessment of the
amount of risk present in the lifting operation and the level of control required in mitigating the risks
involved.
4.5 Routine Lifts - Low rate
Routine lifting operations shall be executed under a routine lift plan. These plans shall clearly define the
limitations on the loads, lifting methods and areas of operation. A Risk Assessment will be required in
each case and authorized prior to commencement. Prior to any lifting operation commencing, a review
of the lift plan shall be conducted.
A Routine Lift is a lift which conforms to the following factors:

• Routine crane operations
• Repetitive lifting operations using the same equipment (e.g., drilling activities), same competent
operator, and with same Loose Lifting Equipment.
• Gross load represents less than 50% of the load chart at working radius with gross load is less
than 5 tones.
• Within the normal operating parameters of the crane.
• Suitable environmental conditions.
• Load has known and evaluated weight, shape and center of gravity.
• Standard rigging arrangements.
• Centre of gravity has been identified and it is below the lifting point.
Note: Routine lifting operations require the above factors to be considered but this list is not exhaustive.
The risk of each individual lift shall be separately considered prior to classifying the lifting operation as a
routine one.

as described within these specifications. The plan shall be approved by company lifting department prior
to commencement of any Lifting Operation and any deviation (MoC) requirement identified from the plan,
shall also get the approval of the company lifting department prior to commencement of the lifting
operation.

4.8 Non-Routine Complex lift – High Rate:
• The lift involves lifting or lowering personnel.

• Gross load is greater than 75 tones or gross load represents more than 75% of the load chart at
working radius.

accessories include amongst other chains, ropes, slings, shackles, eyebolts and open wedges, etc.
8.4. The Load
The load includes any material and people (or any combination of these) that is lifted by the lifting
equipment. Loads are often provided with permanent or semi-permanent fixed or attached points for
lifting. In most cases, these are considered to be part of the load.
Examples of loads include:

• Loose bulk materials
• Sacks, bags, pallets and stillages
• Discrete items (such as a large concrete block)
• Machinery and any permanently attached lifting eyes
• Lugs fixed to its side.
8.5. Testing

8.6. Certificate of Test
A printed document signed by a competent person confirming the validity of the test performed.
8.7. Thorough Examination

This is a systematic and detailed examination of the equipment and safety-critical parts, carried out at
specified intervals by a competent person who must then complete a written report. This report must
include
• the examination dates

• the date when the next thorough examination is due
• any defects found which are (or could potentially become) a danger to people
Where serious defects are identified, the competent person carrying out the examination must
immediately report this verbally to the duty holder. This should then be followed by the written report, a

without fear or favor. However, this should not be the same person who undertakes routine
maintenance of the equipment - as they would then be responsible for assessing their own
maintenance work.

harm?
• Wear fall protection with a lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point. Attach
only one (1) lanyard per lanyard anchorage point.
• Control the hazards – eliminate, isolate or minimize the hazard. This includes selecting the right
MEWP for the task and workplace.
