Awareness Around Lifting Operations

This document outlines the health and safety training provided by ARCHIRODON GROUP NV. It covers hazards associated with lifting operations including electrical, caught-in/crushing, struck-by, and other hazards. Specific hazards from swinging loads, moving parts, and crane stability are discussed. Control measures for each hazard are provided such as barricading swing areas, using tag lines and signal persons. General safety rules for rigging, qualified operators, informed workers, and hazard zones are also outlined. The goal is to eliminate hazards and ensure all workers return home safely.

Hazards Working around Cranes


Lifting Operation is one of the most hazardous operations in a working site The hazards can harm:
The people directly involved with the operation

The people not involve with the operation but working in adjacent areas
The equipment used for the operation

The equipment and structures in adjacent areas

Electrical Hazards
How to Control the Hazard:
Follow the OSHAs power line clearance distances. ANSI requirements for working around power lines. Safe working clearance distance for cranes.

Preventive measures for avoiding power line contacts.


Planning for power line hazards. Dealing with power line emergencies.
ARCHIRODON GROUP NV Rev.00 6 6

Electrical Hazards
How to Control the Hazard:
Locate all the power lines on the job site Identify and determine which activities and equipment will be at risk of contacting a power line.

Eliminate by de-energizing and visibly grounding the line.


Control; if the power line cannot be de-energized or moved, then take precautionary measures and have a written plan.
ARCHIRODON GROUP NV Rev.00 7 7

Electrical Hazards
What if a crane contacts a power cable
The crane operator should try to remove the crane from contact by moving it in the reverse direction from that which caused the contact. If the crane cannot be moved away from contact, the operator should remain inside cab until the lines have been de-energized. If the crane operator must leave the equipment because of a more immediate hazard, then this person must jump clear from the equipment and shuffle their feet in small steps.

Control of Hazard:
Barricade the swing area of the equipment using barriers, warning chain or anything that will prevent people from entering the hazardous area

Make sure that the audible (siren) and visible (revolving light) warnings features of the crane are always operating when the crane is swinging

General Safety Rules


To effectively manage the safe rigging and hoisting of loads, and to eliminate any potential hazards, ensure:

A qualified rigger oversees all lifting operations


A qualified crane operator is assigned for the work All rigging devices are used properly and are in good condition

Main hoisting line has been inspected, properly installed and maintained
ARCHIRODON GROUP NV Rev.00 38 38

General Safety Rules


To effectively manage the safe rigging and hoisting of loads, and to eliminate any potential hazards, ensure:

All employees involved with the task are informed on all associated hazards
All employees working in adjacent activities must be informed about the lifting operations that will be carried and all associated hazards

All NO GO areas and zones have been clearly signed, demarcated and barricaded if possible and safety features are operable
ARCHIRODON GROUP NV Rev.00 39 39

General Safety Rules


Ensure the work area is safe for the crane and the surrounding area is safe for other operatives:

The area is clear and level


There are no excavations that could cause collapse No operatives are working in the lifting zone If other vehicles have to pass is there room? There are no overhead cables
IF ANY OF THESE DO NOT COMPLY THEY MUST BE RECTIFIED BEFORE WORK COMMENCES
ARCHIRODON GROUP NV Rev.00 40 40

REMEMBER We want YOU to return home SAFE!!!
