DANGEROUS OCCURENCE REPORT

Site name: 2x660MW Solapur Super Thermal Power Project , NTPC-Solapur

Location: Fabrication site (M/s :- New sai area)
Equipment involves: Escort Hydra (14-T, capacity) (GJ-3-SS-6521)
Date/Time: 8/02/2014, 11:30 AM
Proprietor:- Rajlifter Crane Service
Operator Name:- Wajid Ali (55Years)
Experience:- 18 Years

Description:Today around 11:30 AM at Fabrication area while a Hydra belongs to M/s-

Rajlifter Crane service (operated by Mr.Wajid Ali) and another hydra belongs to M/s Jai
bajran crane service (Operated by Manoj) were being engaged for Biltop lifting,
approximate weighing 05-Ton. During the tandem lifting process while two hydras lifted
the biltop due to ground undulation/slope the Rajlifter crane service operator could not
control the hydra which was starts leaning toward left side and finally the hydra got
toppled.

Findings:-The ground surface where the hydra was being placed to lift biltop was not flat
and physically we observed that it was more than 20-degree slope which cause hydra to
became unstable with suspended load in fact it was tilled at the time of placement .

The direction of hydra at the time of operation was not right; the operator lifted the biltop
by placing the hydra in parallel position rather than perpendicular.

The reason behind the cause was un-safe act as we found that the hydra placed for
operation was not safe due to slope however enough flat surface was available around the
fabricated biltop and the operator could have placed the hydra at uniform surface.

The another reason behind the cause was behind of the tire pressure was very low.

At the time of operation the boom length was not extended. As per SWL the weight of
the biltop was quite low.

Action Taken: Operator is being suspended from his duty

Precautionary measures to be taken:-Strict instruction has been given to site engineer

and sub agency site in-charge for ensuring proper supervision during each activities. “NO
SUPERVISION NO WORK” massage has been conveyed to all concerned.
