The crane operator must report any defects to the appointed person immediately.
When crane operations have been temporarily suspended due to inclement weather the
Crane Operator has the responsibility to only resume operations when fully satisfied that
conditions have improved to within the safe operating parameters particular to the crane in
use. Crane Operators participating in a training programme must only undertake lifting
operations strictly aligned to their level of formal training and experience.
The Rigger/ signalman is responsible for the attaching and detaching of loads to and from
the crane load lifting attachment and ensuring that the correct accessories are used for that
operation in accordance with the planning of the operation.
The Rigger/ signalman is responsible for the safe movement of the crane and clear direction
must be given whether visual or hand signals.
Where more than one Rigger/ signalman is required, clear instruction must be given when
passing responsibility over to the next slinger / signaller.
The Rigger/ signalman 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.
The Rigger/ signalman must notify the lifting supervisor of any damaged equipment
immediately.

Lifts involving two or more cranes are complex operations requiring considerable skill and
planning. As a result, multiple crane lifts (or tandem lifts) must be planned and carried out
under the supervision of a competent person.
The exact weight each crane will carry must be determined in advance since all cranes must
operate in unison. Operator headset communications systems should be implemented. For
these more complicated lifts, not more than 75 percent of the net capacity of any crane
should be used. Because the load weight shifts from one crane to the other during
movement of the booms, these changes need to be considered during the planning process.
Pre-planned load considerations can also be disrupted if one crane lifts its end of the load
before the other crane lifts, causing the first crane to be overloaded. A practice run without
the load is recommended to help coordinate the process.

Document Title: Lift Plan- Erection of steel reinforcement cage at P354 Location:- P354 Portal beam
Leveling the crane is critical to maintaining a safe lifting capacity: a crane that is out of level
one degree loses 10 percent of its lift capacity with a short boom or up to 30 percent with a
long boom at minimum radius. Because diminished capacity can also occur with wind
loading, wind variables must be considered before and during the lift. Though books often
recommend that the crane be positioned with the boom extending into the wind, this
approach proves problematic as the crane swings with the load. Compensating for wind,
therefore, should involve stratagems for exposure in all directions involved in the lift.
Compliance with the crane manufacturer's recommended wind-velocity shutdown limit is
required for safe operations, though many operators halt work if the wind speed reaches a
generic 30 mph.
Prior to each use a crane shall be visually inspected by the Crane Operator or Maintainer /
Operator to ensure that, as far as is practicable, it is in a good state of repair and safe to use
in carrying out lifting operations.
5.7 Housekeeping:
It is important that a high standard of housekeeping is maintained at all times and to this end
the Crane Operator must:
Check that the machinery house and engine compartments are in a clean and tidy
condition. Any oil spillages must be cleaned up and loose materials (tools, rags, etc.)
removed;
Ensure that all personal belongings or clothing are stored in such a manner that they
do not interfere with the proper control of the crane during operations;
Check that the Crane Operator’s cab windows are clean, that the windscreen wipers
are in good condition and that the screen-wash system is operational;
Ensure that crane structures and walkways are free from all loose material, tools, etc.
as these may result in dropped objects;
Where possible, ensure that a copy of the Crane Operating Manual is available for
reference in the crane cab.
At the commencement of each shift the Crane Operator must carry out a function test of all
crane controls, including the following:
On friction-clutch and brake type cranes it is imperative that the co-efficiency of these
components is verified as there is potential for ingress of foreign materials (water,
grease, etc.) that could cause slippage – when checking the boom hoist system, the
boom should be raised 10-20 centimeters out of the rest and held for a few minutes
on the brake;

Boom minimum / maximum radius and hook block (main and auxiliary) over hoist /
pay-out cut-outs - always approach limits with caution.
Rated Capacity Indicator (Safe Load Indicator) serviceability, and correct number of
hoist rope falls is displayed.
Ensure that all visual and audible alarms operate correctly.
Appropriate load-radius chart is in good condition and posted at a strategic point
within the Crane Operator’s cabin.
Gross Overload Protection system pressures are within the appropriate operating
range.
Manually operated Emergency Load Release must be checked at least once each lift
under strictly controlled conditions, generally with a laden hook and by a Crane
Operator authorized to perform the activity – procedures for this activity must be
strictly adhered to. The Emergency Load Release must be secure and it should not
be possible to inadvertently activate the release during normal operations.
Periodically check all gauges to ensure that all pressures and temperatures remain
within the safe operating range.
Listen for unusual engine and / or machinery noises.
Be aware of slight ‘shocks’ which could indicate bad spooling of the hoist ropes or
imminent equipment failure;
Should be aware about out rigger condition before, during and after lifting of the each
load.
If anything out of the ordinary occurs, STOP, CHECK and REPORT defects or
malfunctions to the Line Supervisor, Contract Support Engineer and Owner’s
Representative.
6. Execution:
6.1 Communication of Lift Plan:
Prior to starting lifting operations the Competent Person shall hold a Tool Box Talk with all
personnel assigned to carry out the lift.
The person in charge of the lifting operation shall be clearly identified and made known to all
members of the lift team and personnel in the proximity.

Document Title: Lift Plan- Erection of steel reinforcement cage at P354 Location:- P354 Portal beam
All personnel involved in the lifting operation shall have their individual responsibilities clearly
allocated.
All personnel involved should have the opportunity to review the findings of the Risk
Assessment and the details of the Lift Plan to ensure that they clearly understand and agree
with the methods and control measures to be used.
Crane Operators and Banks-man must be familiar with the system of signaling in force. The
signals (See Appendix – 3).
The Crane Operator must:
Ensure that the Signaling System is clearly displayed at a strategic point within the
crane Operator’s cab.
Only respond to signals given by the Banks man, or to the ‘STOP’ signal given by
other persons in an emergency situation.
Maintain visual contact with the Banks man – lifting operations must cease if visual
contact is lost and only recommence when a clear line of vision is re-established.
Cease crane operations if inclement weather or darkness impairs the ability to see
the Banks man and operations cannot continue safely.
Access to the work area(s) and to the Crane shall be appropriately controlled, which may
include the use of security measures and barriers.
All personnel should avoid any area where they might be injured by a falling or shifting load.
Never stand between loads and walls / bulkheads, etc. and always ensure that an escape
route is available.
No personnel shall be allowed under a load without an independent second barrier being in
place. A full risk assessment must be carried out to ensure that the barrier is sufficient,
access is controlled and failure of the primary restraint, e.g. the crane or rigging, will not
result in the injury of personnel.
Lifting operations shall be conducted in strict accordance with the approved Lift Plan. Any
variation from the agreed Lift Plan shall result in the job being stopped and reassessed to
ensure continued safe operation.
The Crane Operator shall obey a stop signal at all times, no matter who gives it.
Where personnel are to be lifted the detailed requirements of Appendix 6 shall be complied
with.

Document Title: Lift Plan- Erection of steel reinforcement cage at P354 Location:- P354 Portal beam
Loads to be lifted shall be confirmed to be within the rated capacity of the crane and
attached by means of suitable lifting accessories.
The Crane Operator shall not leave the operating controls while the load is suspended
unless suitable risk management controls have been put in place for ensuring continued
security of the load and site (e.g. restraining the boom and load hoist, providing notices and
barriers).
Banks man – controls the initial lifting of the load, lay-down of the load and lifts that
are out of the Crane Operator’s line of vision (blind lifting);
Crane Operator – controls the load while it is in the air.
This Section of the guidance has been prepared to give guidance to Banks men and Load
Handlers, allowing integration with the procedures for crane operation given previously in
this document and ensuring that all personnel involved in the lifting operation work to a
common system.
These procedures should be used in conjunction with and complement relevant sections of
the Client and Company SHE Manuals. Other Interface documents or where interface with
other contractors is identified shall also be given appropriate consideration and control
measures identified.
The Banks man and Load Handlers, as part of the competent lifting team, should be familiar
with the Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Lift Plan requirements of this
Procedure.
If the Banks man and Load Handlers assist in crane maintenance activities such as rope
changes then they should be made aware of the requirements of Risk Assessments.
The minimum competent lifting team of Crane Operator, Banks man and Load Handler
should be supplemented by additional competent personnel to suit the particular
requirements of the lifting operation e.g. tandem lift co-ordinates.
The Banks man shall not handle the load but must retain an overview of the lifting operation
at all times.

Broken wires Six randomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay, or three broken
wires in one strand in one rope lay, are cause for replacement.
In standing ropes, more than two broken wires in one lay in areas
beyond end connections, or more than one broken wire at an end
connection, are cause for replacement.
In running ropes, six randomly distributed broken wires in one lay or
three broken wires in one strand in one lay are cause for replacement.
End attachments Development of broken wires in the vicinity of attachments is cause for
replacement. If this condition is localized in an operating rope, and the
section in question can be eliminated by making a new attachment, this
may be done rather than replacing the entire rope.
Abrasion Abrasion, scrubbing, flattening, or peening, causing the loss of more than
one-third of the original diameter of the outside wires, is cause for
replacement.
Kinking Severe kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or other damage resulting in
distortion of the rope structure is cause for replacement.
Heat Evidence of heat damage resulting from contact with a torch, or any
damage caused by contact with electrical wires is cause for replacement.
