6.0. PROCEDURE

6.1. Task Risk Assessment

All lifting operations must undergo a task risk assessment in accordance with the site
Safe Systems of Work procedure(s).
Generic lifting operations shall be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the
original Task Risk Assessments remain valid.
For all lifting operations, the degree of risk identified during the Task Risk Assessment
shall determine the level of supervision required for the operation and the required
experience of the personnel involved.
In particular, the Task Risk Assessment should account for:
 arrangements to ensure personnel do NOT work under suspended
loads
 working, attaching and detaching the load
 overloading
 overturning
 breakdown in communication during lifting (especially blind lifting)
 the environment and location
 proximity hazards
 pre-use checks by the operator
 deterioration in the condition of lifting accessories
 the experience, competence and training of available personnel.

Task Risk Assessment shall specifically consider manning requirements for safe
conduct of complex and blind lifts to ensure clear communication between all team
members participating in the lifting operation.

LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

6.2. Planning of Lifting Operations

Following a Risk Assessment, and the preparation of a standard instruction or

procedure, the person using the equipment can normally plan routine lifts on an
individual basis.
In any event, the person planning the operation shall have adequate practical and
theoretical knowledge and experience of planning lifting operations and be competent
to perform the task.
The degree of planning will vary depending upon the:

 Type of lifting equipment

 Complexity of the lifting operation
 Degree of risk involved.

As a minimum, the plan shall address the risks identified and should identify all
resources, procedures and responsibilities necessary to ensure a safe operation.
All lifting operations shall be:
a) Properly planned by a competent person
b) Appropriately supervised
c) Carried out in a safe manner.

To remain cognizant of this SSOW, it is recommended that the asset management

compile a series of generic lifting plans to cover routine lifting duties.
Prior to the commencement of any lifting operation, a pre-job safety meeting shall be
carried out in order to assess the suitability of the Lifting Plan and to familiarize
personnel involved in the lifting operation with the risks identified.
At this time, minor variations may be necessary to take account of current conditions,
e.g. wind speeds; wave height, position of people deck layout etc. and these should
be documented.
Lifting plans involving cranes should pay particular attention to environment
conditions, tidal conditions and the crane manufacturer's operating manual.
The Lifting plan for Offshore and Onshore will be submitted to COMPANY in separate
document.

6.3. Lifting Categories

To assist with the risk assessment process, lifting operations have been divided in
four categories, which are:
a) Routine
b) Simple
c) Complicated
d) Complex
6.3.1 Routine Lift

 Lifts that are performed on a regular basis, which involve basic slinging
practices e.g. deck operations, material transfers.
 These lift activities by definition are repetitive and as such, the method
statements, risk assessments, plans and any supporting procedures
should be held on file.
 Carried out by competent personnel e.g. deck Crew/ Crane Opr./Riggers.
 Suitable environmental conditions.
 Load with known and evaluated weight shape and centre of gravity
 Standard rigging arrangements.
 This category of lifting operations is usually implemented using generic
lifting plans and risk assessments, each with clearly established criteria
and limitations.
 The generic plan is then reviewed at a toolbox talk prior to being
implemented by appointed competent personnel.

Simple Lift

 Lifts that involve the use of basic hoisting equipment e.g. a crane or
manual hoist (suspended from dedicated lifting structures such as pad
eyes or runaway beams) directly above the load.
 Only one item Lifting Equipment
 Carried out by competent personnel e.g. Riggers, Deck Crew and others
who have training in hoisting & lifting/rigging skills.
 Standard rigging arrangement
 Stable, known weight with adequate lifting points.
 Out-with sensitive, difficult or restricted area
 This category of lifting operations is usually implemented using generic
lifting plans and risk assessments, each with clearly established criteria
and limitations.
 The generic plan is then reviewed at a toolbox talk prior to being
implemented by appointed competent personnel

836194819.docx

LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

6.3.2 Complicated Lift

 Lifting Personnel
 Carried out by competent Riggers/ Crane Opr.
 Extended duration e.g. more than 1 shift
 Use of two or more items of lifting equipment (Tandem lifts)
 Out-with sensitive, difficult or restricted area
 This category of lifting operations require a written method statement in
addition to the lifting plan, risk assessment and the approval of COMPANY
Site Lifting Coordinator or the COMPANY Lifting Technical Authority (LTA).
 The specific plan is then reviewed at a toolbox talk prior to being
implemented by appointed competent personnel.

6.3.3 Complex Lift

 If a lifting job involves divers or sub-sea work or the plan indicate the
selected route for the load to travel is over live plant or a confined space, it
will be classed as complex.
 Unknown or difficult to estimate centre of gravity
 Use of two or more items of lifting equipment (Tandem lifts)
 Environmental conditions liable to affect operations
 Non-standard rigging or equipment
 This category of lift requires a written method statement in addition to the
Lifting Plan, risk assessment and the approval of COMPANY Site Lifting
Coordinator or the COMPANY Lifting Technical Authority.

Minimum number of people required carrying out the complex or

complicated lifts safely shall be risk assessed and established prior to
start the lifting operation.

Note: Where the lifting activities – routine, simple, complicated or

complex-are likely to be repeated, the assessments, lifting
plans and method statements should be held on file for
subsequent review and re-use.

6.4. Environmental Conditions

All cranes shall be operated within manufacturers’ limit and

recommendations

It is the responsibility of the COMPANY Site Lifting Coordinator to ensure that

accurate and realistic wind speed readings using anemometer set in an appropriate
location are utilized.
Lifting operations shall be suspended when either design wind speeds for lifting
equipment are exceeded or the following average wind speeds reach, whichever is
the lower:

· Onshore Lifting – 25 knots (12.86 m/sec)

· Offshore Lifting - 25 knots (12.86 m/sec) and 2-meter wave of sea

Lifting operations may be allowed to re-commence following:

· A formal task specific risk assessment involving Site Manager, Site Lifting
Coordinator and HSE Coord. taking into consideration site conditions,
industry guidelines, crane manufacturers recommendations,
· type/weight/shape/ of load being lifted
· An upgrade of the lift to at least "complicated".

Continuous monitoring of the weather/site conditions including wind gust speeds.

The Construction Manager shall be accountable for ensuring that if

lifting operations are re-commended the above items shall be
considered and the appropriate limits set, understood, recorded and
adhered to

836194819.docx
CLIENT:

LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

Before lifting operation, shall be considered the following:

 weather forecast,
 sea state,
 wind direction,type of lifting appliance and operation,
 visibility (especially during weathers of darkness),
 urgency of need with respect to site safety

The manufacturers’ instruction must always be followed. In weather, which causes in-
adequate visibility, crane operations must be suspended.
On land if there is a prolonged heavy rain, the ground may become softer than normal
and by the way, affect the stability and level of the crane. No lifting during rain or
immediately after; wait at least one hour after rain and check the brakes before
attempting lifting operations.
6.5. Risk Assessment — guidance notes
This section is for guidance purposes only. Whilst it tries to incorporate the main
hazards associated with lifting operations, these notes are not intended to be
exhaustive. Other equally significant hazards may be present.
Where other hazards are identified, these shall be assessed in a similar fashion to
those identified on the notes, with due consideration to possible causes,
consequences and appropriate solutions.
Planning for the worst-case scenario should ensure that all hazards have been
brought to ALARP Level and the necessary mitigation actions are in place.
Lifting more than one dedicated "load" at a single time ("Piggy backing") is strictly
prohibited and should not be carried out under any circumstances.

7.0. CRANE

This section will be shown and described some types of cranes and its basic function for giving
everyone knowledge when they are working using crane as a lifting equipment. Safety features of
a crane, personnel involved and their roles and responsibilities are also important and be-
focusing in this procedure.

7.1. Offshore Tower Crane

This section covers offshore tower cranes and their use in the NGLA/B Platform. This crane type
may use during offshore construction stage for material transfer.
7.1.1 OPERATIONS

This document provides the framework and guidance for operations, maintenance and inspection
activities required to ensure the continued safe operation of the tower cranes in an offshore
environment. This section applies to the offshore tower-mounted revolving cranes on fix offshore
platforms, which retain the same fundamental characteristic. This type of crane is basically
powered by internal combustion engines or electric motors and utilizes drums and ropes for
hoisting.
Operating Practices
o The qualified operator (here in also called operator) is responsible for those operations under his
or her direct control. Whenever there is any doubt as to safety, the operator should have the
authority to STOP and REFUSE to handle loads or continue operations as safety dictates.
o The operator should be aware of the operating characteristics of the crane. Mechanical and non-
mechanical cranes will require different operating techniques, especially with regards to engine
speed, control arrangement and braking. The crane manufacturer should provide operating
instructions or be consulted for specific information.
o The operator should be familiar with the equipment and its proper care. If adjustments or repairs
to the crane are necessary, or any deficiencies that impair safe operations are known, the crane
should be taken out of service or its operations restricted to eliminate the unsafe condition.
o Before starting the crane, the operator should verify the following:
a. The pre-use inspection
b. All controls are in 'off' or "Neutral" position.
c. All personnel are in the clear area.
o For mechanical cranes, the operator should operationally test the brakes each time a load
approaching the rated load is to be handled. Prior to raising the load, exposed brakes should
be warmed and rusted surface on the drums cleaned by raising and lowering the boom and
load lines under slight brake pressure.
o When handling loads, the operator should never start machine movement unless the load is
within his range of vision or appointed signal person is within his range of vision and given the
appropriate signal.

TRADING CO.

Doc No:
LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

o The operator should response only to signals only from the appointed signalman but should
obey an emergency stop signal at any time, no matter who gives signal.

o The operator should verify that the appropriate static and dynamic load charts are in place for
the crane configuration in use (i.e. boom length, load line reeving, counter weight etc.).
o Before leaving the crane's cabin unattended for a prolonged period of time, the operator
should:
 Land any attached load
 Disengage the master clutch, where applicable
 Set all locking devices
 Put controls in the off or neutral position
 Stop the prime mover
 Assure that no component of the crane will interfere with normal helicopter flight operations or
other cranes

o The crane should be secured against swinging when not in use.
o The operator should be aware of the heat sources such as natural gas engines, gas turbines,
flares, or any other heat source that exhausts near the crane. Stress corrosion cracking, paint
damage, accelerated corrosion, and loss of the lubrication can result in reduced service life of
components.
o If power or a necessary control function fails during operations, the operator should:
 Set all brakes and locking devices
 Move all clutch or other power controls to the off or neutral position.
 If practical, land the suspended load by controlled lowering or stopping.
o Where cranes are positioned in the proximity of helidecks or approach/take off zones, they
should not be operated while helicopter is landing or taking off. The boom should be
positioned and secured against swinging so there will be no interference with flight
operations. The operator should not be at control station/cabin during helicopter landing/take
off.
o Where cranes are to be used at night, the operator should insure that there is sufficient
lighting for safe operations. The load and landing area should be illuminated.
o The operator should keep and maintain a log of pre-use inspection with the name, date and
time of inspection. This record should be kept in an appropriate location.

7.1.1.1 Handling the Load

The rated load capacity at the working radius of the crane shall not be exceeded. Cranes and
hoists shall not be loaded beyond their rated capacity for any reason other than load testing.
When working at boom lengths or radius between the load figures shown on a crane's load
capacity chart, the next lower capacity rating shall be used. It is dangerous to guess the capacity
for boom lengths or radius between those listed on the load capacity chart.
Crane lifting capacities are based on relative motion conditions between the crane and the load to
be handled. All cranes shall have one static and at least one dynamic load rating chart, derived in
accordance with the procedures outlined in API Specification 2C, latest edition.

836194819.docx
CLIENT:
VACUUM ENGINEERING CONTRACTING &
TRADING CO.

Doc No:
LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

The appropriate load-rating chart for the configuration in use shall be visible to the crane operator
at the control station.
The operator should verify that the hook load is within the crane's applicable Static or Dynamic
Rated Load at the radius at which the Load is to be lifted.
The crane manufacturer's operating notes and instructions supplied with the machine contain
important information concerning proper set-up, operation and additional points that need to be
considered when calculating load handling Capacities of cranes. The manufacturer's operating
notes and instructions must be available and should always be kept with the crane.
Several factors should be considered when calculating a crane's load capacity, including:
1. Load Radius: the horizontal distance between the center of the crane rotation and the center of
the load. The greater the radius, the lower the capacity.

2. Boom length: including the jib, swing away extension or any other attachments that may increase
length of the boom. Generally, the longer the boom length, the lower the capacity.

3. Boom angle: the angle formed between the horizontal plane of rotation and centerline of the
boom. The flatter the angle, the lower the capacity.

4. Weight of any attachments: jib, lattice extension or auxiliary boom point. The heavier the
attachments, the lower the capacity.

5. Weight of handling devices: ball, block, and/or any necessary rigging. The heavier the devices,
the lower the capacity.

7.1.1.2 Attaching the Load

The load should be attached to the hook by means of slings or other suitable devices. The latch
should be dosed to secure loose slings.
The hoist rope should not be wrapped around the load.

7.1.1.3 Moving the Load

No external forces should be applied to suspended loads that will create significant side loading
of the boom. Care should be taken when swinging the crane so as to minimize the pendulum
action of the hook and suspended load.

836194819.docx
CLIENT:
VACUUM ENGINEERING CONTRACTING &
TRADING CO.

Doc No:
LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

Cranes should not be used for dragging loads unless properly rigged for a vertical pull not
exceeding the rated capacity.

The operator should be aware of the effect of velocity and weight of the load when lowering to
minimize shock load.
The operator shall not hoist, lower or swing while any personnel are on the load or hook (other
than in the personnel transfer capsule)
No fewer than 5 (five) full wraps of the rope should remain on the drum(s) in any operating
condition. Due consideration should be given to hoist manufacturer's recommended practices,
especially for break away anchor-type hoists.
When two or more cranes are used to lift one load, one qualified operator should be responsible for
the operation. The responsible operator should analyze the operations, and instruct all personnel
involved in the proper positioning, rigging of the load and the movements to be made.
Appropriate tag or restraining lines should be used where necessary to control the load.

7.1.1.4 Safe Working Load (SWL)

The maximum load as certified by manufacturer/competent person and shall be observed during
lifting operations.

7.1.1.5 Load Test

A crane load test is required under the following conditions:

1. New cranes being placed into service

2. Crane that are being permanently relocated
3. Temporary cranes after each rig-up or relocation

7.1.2 SIGNALS

Signals between the crane operator and the designated signalman should be discernible, audibly
or visually, at all times. The operator should not respond unless signals are clearly understood.
7.1.2.1 INSTRUCTION

If It is desired to give instruction to the operator other than those provided by the established signal
system, the crane motion should be stopped.
7.1.2.2 SIGNALLING

836194819.docx
CLIENT:
VACUUM ENGINEERING CONTRACTING &
TRADING CO.

Doc No:
LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

When operations are required to be controlled by signals, a designated signal person should be
assign to work with the crane.

The designated signalman should:

 Be qualified by experience with the operations and knowledgeable of the standard hand signals as
shown in Attachment-7.

 Be in clear view of the operator to ensure their signals can be seen. Their position should give
them a clear view of the load, crane, personnel and the area of operations. If the operator's view of
the primary signal person is obstructed, and additional person should be provided.

7.2. Onshore Mobile Crane

The requirements operation will be same with offshore tower crane exception this crane will be
used on land.

Mobile Crane is the other common crane, on land, which are normally fitted with telescopic jib.
They travel from site to site to perform lifts and usually have to put down outriggers before lifting.
Their ability to move with a load is very limited and so they are generally restricted to lifts within
their safe operating radius in any particular location.

7.2.1 REQUIREMENTS
 The Crane shall be certified by the authorize body
 The crane shall be inspected and approved by COMPANY
 Annual inspection shall be applied by authorize third party
 Load indicator shall be installed and annual calibration by authorize third
party.
 TRA shall be approved before lifting operation
 Lifting plan shall be prepared and approved by COMPANY before lifting
operation.
 Safety talk/tool box meeting shall be conducted prior to lifting operation.

7.2.2 LIFTING OPERATION

Accidents can be avoided by careful preplanning of the job. Each lift shall be under the direction of
a designated lift leader. The designated lift leader must have a clear understanding of the work to

836194819.docx

VACUUM ENGINEERING CONTRACTING &
TRADING CO.

LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

be performed and consider all potential dangers at the job site. A safety plan must be developed
for the job and must be explained to all personnel involved in the lift.

Keep the operator's area free of water, oil, and debris that could cause hands or feet to slip from
the controls. Keep the operating cab. windshields clean and free of anything that obstructs vision.
Ensure proper functioning of the crane. If at any time a crane is found to need repair, is defective,
or is in any way unsafe, take the crane out of service until it has been restored to safe-operating
condition.
Where there is a rotating superstructure, barricade the accessible areas within the swing radius of
the rear of the rotating superstructure of the crane to prevent anyone from being struck or crushed
by the crane.
Do not hoist one load on the main hoist and another load on the auxiliary hoist at the same time.
Ensure that fire extinguisher is installed at the operator station.
Do not store gasoline, acids, caustics, or cleaning solvents that emit toxic fumes in operating cabs.
Store fuel in safety cans in safe locations. Do not store any loose items in the cab.
Position the crane on a solid and level footing. It may be necessary in certain situations to use
heavy timber mats to build a good working foundation. The surface area of the mats should be 3
times the surface area of the crane outrigger pads.
When swinging the crane, watch out for centrifugal force. Swing the crane slowly to avoid an
outward swing of the load. Start and stop the swing slowly. Attach tag lines to the load to control
the swing.
Watch for boom kickback. Never operate with the boom at a higher angle than shown on the crane
capacity charts.
Use power lowering when lowering loads. When lowering heavy loads, keep the hoist brake as
reserve. Use a safety pawl on the boom-hoist drum when not lowering.
Avoid two-blocking, caused when the hook block contacts boom-point sheaves. A continuing pull
on the hoist lines can break the rope or pull the boom back over the cab on some types of booms.
On hydraulically telescoping booms, be sure to play out the hoist line when extending and spool in
the hoist line when retracting. On hydraulically telescoping booms do not rely on the anti-two-
blocking device as an operating control.
No one, except instructor or designated person should be allowed on a crane with the operator
when the crane is in operation. No one is allowed on the crane without the operator's permission.
Do not leave your position at the controls while the load is suspended, unless required to do so by
an approved emergency procedure.

7.3. Truck Loader 3 Ton Cap.

The crane is mounted on the truck and will be used for loading and unloading material/equipment
purpose from/to truck’s basin. This Truck Loader will be used for onshore lifting only.

Special attention must be paid to the following factors:

1. The ground must be sufficient firm to take up the pressure from the stabilizer legs.
2. The ground may not be slippery (i.e. covered with sand). When the parking brake is applied the
truck must be able to take up the horizontal forces from the loader without skidding or moving.
3. The truck must be parked in such a way that the operator has a complete view of the field of
operation.
4. The operator must make sure that there are no electric wires or any other obstacle within the
working radius of the loader.
5. The operator must inform by unauthorized persons that entry into the working area is not
permitted.
6. The stability of the vehicle and the load is based on the stabilizer leg in their extreme position, and
the loader should only be used at maximum stabilizer spread. The stabilizers should be lowered
just enough to raise the truck chassis a little in its suspensions.
7. The tyres must still have full contact with the ground. During loading of the truck, the stabilizer legs
must be raised from time to time, to ensure that the weight of the load is carried by the truck and
not by the stabilizer legs. The stabilizer legs are not designated to support this excessive load.
8. The best possible loader operation will be achieved when vehicle is positioned as close to
horizontal as possible. Therefore, the vehicle should be leveled to horizontal position by means of
the stabilizer legs before the loader is operated.
9. If the ground is not form enough to take up the pressure of the stabilizer legs, a steel plate, or the
like must be placed under the foot plates.

USING THE LOADER:

The loader is designed to lift loads vertically and therefore diagonal stresses should be avoided.
Consequently it is not permitted to drag loads across the ground using the extension cylinders or
the slewing system. These functions may only be activated once the load is free of the ground.
If the load is extended so far that the lifting capacity is exceeded, the main boom will slowly begin
to sink. To stop this movement the load should be brought closer toward the loader column by
means of the jib or the extension cylinder.
Never stand under the boom when the loader is working

7.4. Crawler Crane on board of Work Barge 225 Ton Cap.

General Lifting procedure of Barge (Baruna 3) shall be followed when performing lifting activity on
barge (Attached to this procedure).

8.0. LIFTING GEAR

All lifting gear (slings, shackle, work baskets, hoists and beams, and pad eyes) have to be
inspected and certified prior to deploy in lifting operation. Therefore, all lifting gear should have
valid/manufacture certificate c/w ID number and SWL mark.

8.1. POLICY

Effective inspections of all Lifting gear is imperative for a safe operation. It is the responsibility of
the user to visually inspect lifting equipment each time that it is used. This is to verity that there are
no obvious defects in the equipment.

8.2. DEFINITION

Lifting Equipment is defined as equipment which may be attached to and which may be below the
crane hooks; or equipment which by design is to support a lifted load such as slings, shackles,
work baskets; or equipment which would be utilized to raise and lower a derrick / mast or block.

8.3. LIFTING EQUIPMENT

Lifting equipment is divided into three categories:

8.3.1. Category I – Sling / Wire Rope

836194819.docx
CLIENT:
VACUUM ENGINEERING CONTRACTING &

Doc No:
LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

This category includes slings / wire rope which are subject to a high degree of wear and tear
resulting from regular use. This category is inclusive of:

 Wire rope slings (including those attached to the containers)

 Chain slings
 Eye Belt
 Shackles
 Nylon, polyester belt sling
 Cargo nets

All category I lifting equipment shall have an initial load test before being placed in service.
Category I equipment shall receive certification annually / every year by a third-party inspector with
a record kept of the inspection.

If the inspection reveals a defect, the equipment shall be withdrawn from service and either junked
or load test to ensure that it is capable of lifting at the Safe Working Load (SWL) as originally
certified.

In order to readily identify Category I equipment that has been certified within any one (1) year
period, a color code system shall be used (adopt BP regulation).

Whenever Category I equipment is used, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that it has the
appropriate color-code. Any equipment, which has a out-of-date color code, is to be removed from
service until inspected, re-certified and properly color-coded.

8.3.2. Category II – Miscellaneous Hardware

This category includes all lifting equipment, which has been purchased from a bonafide
manufacturer and by design is capable of making safe lifts up to the Safe Working Load (SWL).
This category is inclusive of:

 Pulley (pulley block, snatch blocks)

 Hooks
 Come-alongs
 Plate clamps (including those attached to slings)
 Air tuggers
 Container (including the lifting lugs)
 Other similar hardware

All Category II hardware is to be routinely inspected by the user to ensure that it is in good
condition e.g. not bent, cracked, rusted or damaged; that it is rated for the intended lift and that it is
appropriated for the intended use. Should the user detect a defect, which may effect the safety of
the equipment, it should be removed from service and be immediately repaired or junked.

8.3.3. Category III – Special Appliance and Fixtures

LIFTING PROCEDURE Revision:

This category generally includes all lifting appliances which are intended for a very specific use and
which are by design, limited to a particular lift or lifted load. This category is inclusive of:

 Cargo baskets
 Hoist runaway beams
 Special lifting tools, supports, stands
 Spreader bars
 Cylinder racks
 Transportable tanks

Category III appliances are designated to support a specific load or load limit. Category III lifting
appliances should be marked, stamped, or stenciled to indicate the maximum load capacity or the
specific use.

Any equipment supplied by a manufacturer for a specific lift e.g. engine / compressor tools,
spreader bars, etc. shall be used only for the specific intended purpose.

8.4. LOAD TEST

Physically loading a piece of equipment to a predetermined load to ensure that the equipment is
capable of regularly lifting at the Safe Working Load (SWL) Limit. Testing shall be performed by
qualified third party.
8.5. INSPECTIONS

Examination of lifting equipment to ensure that it is safe for use. The inspection should also ensure
that the correct lifting equipment is used. The inspection should be done by an individual who is
familiar with the equipment and he work to be performed

8.6. IDENTIFICATION AND RECORDS

Category 1 equipment shall be clearly identified with a stamp / identification mark noting the date
the unit was put into service, ID number and SWL.
This stamp/identification mark is permissible in thee following areas: sling collars ; body of the
equipment.

9.0. SAFETY FEATURES OF CRANE

In the interest of safety and to assist the crane operator, the crane has various limiting devices for
the six motions to prevent damaging the crane.

They are as follows:

a. When jibbing up, there are limits to prevent the jib coming into contact with the back-stops.
b. When jibing down, there are limits to prevent the jib angle becoming less than approx. 15 degrees
to the horizontal. (This limit can be over-ridden to allow parking of the jib in the rest).
c. When hoisting, there is a limit trip to prevent the hook block being pulled through the sheaves-anti
two block limit.

d. When lowering, there is a limit trip to prevent running the hoist rope completely off the winch drum
thus losing the rope, hook block and possibly the load.
e. Slewing limits area sometimes fitted but care still has to be exercised by the crane operator (and a
signalman that guide the crane) to avoid striking the jib against obstructions such as other cranes
and structures on the platform.

In addition to the limit trips, other safety feature of the crane is an automatic Safe Load Indication
(SLI) system backed up by visual and audible alarms. The SLI tells the crane operator of the
operating radius of the crane (i.e. where the hook is), the SWL of the crane at that radius and the
actual load on the hook. The visual alarm is usually set to activate at approx. 95% of the crane
capacity at any given radius where the audible alarm activates at approx. 105% of the crane
capacity, i.e. in an overload situation. The operating cabs will contain a fire extinguisher, smoke
hood and Life Jacket.
As with all lifting machines, cranes have a maximum safe working load but this depends on the
number of wire rope on the block sheave.
The SWL also reduces as the operating radius increase. The lifting operation shall refer to the load
radius which will be posted in the crane cab.
For loading or unloading a vessel, further reductions in capacity may apply due to dynamic
loading caused by the weather conditions.

9.1. General Rules
