Adverse Weather restriction: Lifting will not take place in poor light, poor visibility, sandstorms, heavy rain, or thunder and lightning.
Cranes will not be operated when wind speed exceeds 9.8 meters a second (22 mph /35kph / 19 knots) unless manufacturer allows
operation in greater wind speed.
SIMOPS: No other operation will take place in the lifting area during lifting operations.
PPE: Banksman to wear Hi Vis Vest, all others to comply with standard PPE standards.

Method Statement
Lifting Method statement (Step by Step)
Steps 1-9 are compulsory
1 Rig manager to delegate preparation & check of lift area: free from unnecessary equipment, obstacles and
debris.
2 Crane Op to verify pre start and dropped object inspection of crane has been completed
3 HSE Officer to verify valid certification of crane Operator, crane and lifting accessories -slings shackles
including color coding and that all lifting accessories have suitable SWL / WLL
4 Rig manager to hold Pre job safety meeting/TBT, assign duties for lifting ops.
5 Rig manager to appoint duty banksman (to wear Hi-vis jacket) and load handlers, agree communications
method between Crane operator and Banksman e.g., hand signals. Verify hand signals including stop and
emergency hold.
Agreed communications will be radios, hand signals
6 Banksman to clear area of all person not involved in the lifting: sign and barrier area as required, maintain
an escape route at all times.
7 Crane Op to Spot crane as per lift drawing and planned lift radius, deploy outriggers fully on spreader
blocks, set crane “off rubber”.
8 Crane Operator to carry out configuration safety and computer checks, implementing any specific
operational requirements as per lift drawings.
9 Check wind speed is not exceeding 9.8 meters per second (22 mph /35kph / 19 knots)
10 Attach the lifting gears to the top of the mast
- Assistant driller and night pusher to wear safety harnesses and use man lift basket to attach web
slings to lifting place (mast supporting beams the 3rd one from the crown block) and check crane
hook is vertical or not.
- Inform commander to slowly pick up hook till web sling get tension by radios (radio will be secured
by safety rope). When crane tension confirmed on upper section by 10 tons
- Disconnect safety pin of beam seat and relative cable while Assistant Driller lowering man lift
basket down
11 Continue tension on sling while lifting, until full raise of the mast
12 Ensure the mast securing pins is connected
13 Derrick man to release the lifting gears after finish the mast raise

Banksman holds Job debrief including any lessons learned,

The job is not complete until the housekeeping is done: ensure the location is left clean and tidy and return
all slings and shackles to the lifting store.

Step 5 Lifting Safety Check

Cranes must not lift in excess of 75% of their maximum lift capacity.

ARE YOU IN COMPLIANCE?

6 Steps to Check

ep 1: Calculate TOTAL LOAD weight on hook:

Weight of Main Hook Block1 (120t Crane) 1te.
Wait of hock block 2 (200t Crane) 1te
Weight of All Lifting tackle sling shackles etc. 0.1te.
Weight of Fly Jib if attached to crane boom 1 2 te.
Weight of Fly Jib if attached to crane boom 2 2 te

Weight of the load to be lifted 20 te.

TOTAL LOAD= 26.1 te.

Step 2: Check lift Radius (LR) (120t crane) 9m

Check lift Radius (LR) (200t crane) 9m

Step 3: Check Boom length (BL) (120t Crane) 46.9 m

Check Boom length (BL) (200t Crane) 46.4 m

Step 4: Note the maximum lift capacity from the Crane chart:
Including boom length, angle and the maximum lift radius.

Max lift capacity SWL (120t Crane) 20.4 te.

Max lift capacity SWL (200t Crane) 37.5 te.

Step 5: Cross check: Ask Crane operator to check on his crane screen the maximum
weight he can lift: it should match step 4! - If not Stop and take advice

Step 6: Now calculate 75% of the maximum capacity

For 120t crane 63.9
For 200t crane 34.8
Is your TOTAL LOAD less than 75 % Max Lift capacity?

YES = 75 % capacity or less: proceed safely.

NO = over 75% capacity  STOP! Take advice.

Notes
 Do you know what the load weighs?
 All outrigger must be fully extended and counterweigh must be in place
 All block sheaves must be reeved with crane wire for maximum lifts
 Always ask HSE / Maintenance to cross check.
 Ask the Crane operator to do a final verification check.

Job Safety Analysis (JSA)

Date 30-04-21 Client RN JSA # 0002
Location BR-1 Job Type Raising mast using crane Revision 3
Crew Members

No Sequence of basic job steps Potential accident or hazard
1. Preparation - Dropped objects.
- Stuck/crush by equipment,
- Working at height
- Striking object in or above load
path
- Restricted work areas,
- Pinch point, hand injuries.
2. Selection of lifting gears - Crane Failure
- Dropped objects.
Recommendation to eliminate or reduce potential
hazard
- Pre-Job visit by lifting team to the site where lifting
will take place
- Verify weather conditions are satisfactory and wind
speed acceptable
- Valid PTW
- Prepare Lifting plan
- Pre job meeting
- Authorized and competent personnel only for work.
- Proper Supervision for lifting tasks
- Exclude all persons form lifting work area except for
lifting team.
- Use certified and colour coded lifting gears with
sufficient SWL for the purpose.
- Ensure no physical damage available on lifting gears

3. Preparation for lift - Collapse of crane and load - Verify the suitability of lifting gears & crane for the
- Failure of equipment loads to be handled.
- Ensure the area is free from obstacles for crane
operations and ground is properly compacted.
- Spot crane correctly using spreader pads under fully
extended outriggers.
- Conduct safety check of the crane prior to start
lifting.
- Ensure that the load is secured and is free of all
dropped objects.
-
4. Lifting activities - Falling objects from lifted load - Banksman is in charge of the lifting operation
- Electrocution due to work near - Only banksman to signal crane operator
power lines. - Tag lines MUST BE USED to control loads.
- Injury due to crush points - Equipment should not be operated where any of
- load shifting due to incorrect the loads will come within 6.4m of any electrical
rigging, distribution or power line.
- failure due to overloading - All lift to be done in 2 stages the sage 1 is lifting
- high wind until load id 25 cm from ground and banksman to
- poor visibility stop and ensure load is stable, and verify with crane
- Injury to workers operator actual weight. STOP lift if weigh is different
to expected weight and investigate
- Banks man to wear high visible vest during lifting
operation
- Continue tension on sling while lifting
5. Post job House keeping - Remove, slings shackles and return to safe storage
- Make the area clean and tidy.
