1 Lifting Plan
Having considered the SOW pertaining to rigging and lifting operations
onshore, all lifting activities can be broadly classified into two types of lift,
namely, Routine and Non-Routine. Categorizing the type of lifts before
planning the lift and documenting in a lifting plan is critical to us because
it enables us to do a proper assessment of the amount of risk present in
the lifting operation and the level of control required in mitigating the risks
involved.
1.0 Routine Lift
Routine lifting operations are types of lift that are undertaken on a
regular basis and will generally include all normal cargo handling
operations such as:
a) Lifting light equipment (<10 Tons)
b) on deck for general arrangement (straight forward lifting)
c) from/to platform (pipes, beams, plates or any material needed for
the job)
d) Lifting containers
e) Loading / offloading standard equipment from supply vessel or
cargo barge
f) Transferring HU equipment (tools, compressors, scaffold racks
etc.) from vessel / barge to platform
Routine lifts will be uncomplicated lifts using well established rigging
practices where the loads are stable, no awkward shapes, have no
difficult access problems, special permits are not required for handling
hazardous substances and where lifting gear is matched to the load.
Lifting route of the load and landing area on the platform shall be
carefully looked at during lifting operations, to ensure no additional
hazards are created due to the specific environment of the platform
(i.e. collision with live plant on the platform, lifting route obstructed and
other personnel working at the same time on the platform).
Note that our competent person shall regularly review the routine
lifting with respect to the actual standard operating procedure and risk
assessment REVIEW, as there may be factors that could change a
lifting operation from being a routine one into a non-
routine/complicated one.
2.0 Non-Routine Lift
All lifts, which cannot be defined as routine, are classified as non-
routine/complicated or critical.
Such classes of lifts include but may not essentially be limited to:
 g) Loads equal to or greater than 10 tons such as deck extension,
heavy spools, etc. Heavier containers supplied with dedicated
rigging are exempt and may be considered routine lifts.
h) Lift considered non-routine lifting operations
i) Lift reaches 80% of
j) The crane’s current certified capacity sing the static and dynamic
load charts
k) The crane’s design operating limits (wind, speed etc.)
l) Loads with awkward shapes,
m)Loads with the center of gravity above the lifting points,
n) Loads with an offset center of gravity,
o) Loads with a narrow or small base,
p) Extremely long loads that tend to rotate (such as vent boom)

Chart
When rigging (such as wire rope lashing, come-along, and chain falls,
slings etc.) is used for support during erection sequences of equipment,
piping spools and steel members, the rigging must not be removed until
leveling and alignment is complete and the item is secured in its
permanent location.
Rigging equipment, including shackles and hooks, will not be loaded in
excess of the manufacturer-recommended safe working load and the
applicable international standards.
We ensure that slings, hooks, wire-lines, cables, and tag lines are secure
and in good working order.
Slings, fittings, and fastenings shall be inspected before, during, and after
daily use. Equipment found to be defective must be discarded.
All Ariosh rigging and lifting equipment are marked with its Working Load
Limit (WLL) in a clear, visible and permanent manner, also these marks
are unique identifier to facilitate identification of the equipment.
Equipment is generally identified by its serial number.
All our rigging and lifting equipment, which is to be used on the project,
shall have a current “certificate of test and examination”, indicating the
identification number of the equipment, WLL, date of last inspection (or
date of manufacture for newly purchased equipment), instruction for use
where applicable and name of the company which has performed the test
(or name of the company where the equipment has been purchased if
newly purchased).
Lifting and installation Drawings that shows the sequence of installation
will be developed upon award of contract and will be utilized on the
project.
