General Guidelines: Hierarchy of Hazard Controls:

1. Risk Assessment (also called Job Safety Analysis) is a qualitative hazard identification technique used for (In order from most effective to least effective)
identifying, assessing and controlling major hazard(s) associated with a specific task or operation where Elimination (by design or process changes)
Permit to Work (PTW) precautions are deemed insufficient to execute the job safely. Substitution (with less hazardous material or equipment)
2. No such work should be allowed to proceed until the Risk Assessment has been completed and approved by Isolation (with barriers, machine guards)
a competent authority (normally Site Manager/Superintendent). Engineering Controls (interlocks, ESD system)
3. Risk Assessment should be carried out by a competent person and conducted in a team environment, Administrative Controls (procedures, job rotations,
involving all relevant parties. training)
4. Only trained and experienced staff should be deployed to execute high-risk jobs. Warning Systems (signs, labels)
5. Conduct RA well in advance as part of the work planning process. Personal Protective Equipment
6. Address all direct and indirect hazards associated with the task.
7. This RA shall be conducted in conjunction with the above referenced PTW. A copy of the approved Risk Abbreviations:
Assessment must be attached to the permit throughout the work duration. ALARP : As Low as Reasonably Practicable
8. Use the 5x5 Risk Assessment Matrix (provided separately) to assess the potential risks.
PTW : Permit to Work
9. When determining safeguards, consider the ‘Hierarchy of Hazard Controls’ provided on this page.
10. Communicate RA to all relevant personnel through meetings/toolbox talks before starting work. ESD : Emergency Shutdown
11. Record Risk Assessment and revise if necessary. RA : Risk Assessment
P : Probability (Likelihood)
C : Consequences
R : Risk (H = High, M = Medium, L = Low)

S/ Initial Risk
Hazards
N P
1 1. Preparation and checking before entry  Fire extension due
2. Entry inside plant to spark generated E 4
3. Preparation and checking before
 Damage due to
Lifting hitting against
4. Lifting/ Lowering of the load pipe/equipment
 Injury to people
around
 Property damage /
Exposure to toxic
release/ fire due
to falling of lifted
load/ crane
toppling due to
improper usage of
the crane
 Exposure to
HC/toxic release
due to Crane rope
getting entangled
with a small-bore
connection
 Property damage /
toxic release/fire
due to dropping of
the load to
slippage of slings,
rupture of slings,
crane brake
failure, rupture of
crane rope wire,
slippage of rope
wire from the
anchor point
 Property damage/
exposure to toxic

toppling or
collapse on the
Residual Risk
Safeguards Action by
C R (Low/ALARP)
 Crane/ Hydra must have a valid permit for entry Project ALARP Level
V inside red roads Engineer/supervi
H sor/HSE in charge
 Crane/ Hydra must be certified for use by the P&M
department
 Driver must have a safe driving licence. Spark
arrestor must be healthy
 Check LEL in the proposed route of the Crane/
Hydra. Switch off the engine and evaluate if the
F&G alarm is sounded
 Crane/ Hydra will move with a speed of less than 10
Kmph
 Identify all pits near to the route, barricaded
/highlight if required
 Use wheel jammers to prevent accidental
movement of the Crane /Hydra
 Keep the Crane / Hydra on gear when parked.
Follow Vehicle entry procedure
 Do not leave the crane / Hydra unattended when
parked near plant and machinery
 Do not allow to move people in the route of Crane/
Hydra
 Crane/ Hydra reverse horn must be working and
assistant to guide while reversing
Following things are to be ascertained before lifting:
 Object load;
 lift radius;
 load height;
 load centre of gravity;
 load suspension point;
 Slew Limitation;
 counterweight;
 Bearing load on the ground;
 Safe working load;
 Object dimension (if more than 25m2), safe
approach. Also, give the request form to P&M
depth so that the correct crane is allocated
 Check on Crane /Hydra:
 Crane load test certificate, Daily log sheet,
Page 2 of 4 HSE DOCUMENTS
 RISK ASSESSMENT
Fortnightly / monthly service and inspection
checklist must be available and updated. The safe
load indicator (SLI) is working. If not working
capacity loading will not exceed 60%
All limit switches are functioning. The free-fall
system is blocked. No hydraulic oil leakage
Lifting plan to be prepared if: load wt is more than
15T or Boom length above 55m or two cranes used
for single lift or capacity loading more than 85% or
using mobile crane rated above 200T
 Identification and marking any small SBC at risk and
pointing out the risk to the crane operator and
signaler
 Lifting weight to be with guide rope. Optimal setting
crane of the crane and restricting crane movement. Also
 Electrical shock barricade the crane
hazard due to  Crane has undergone regular and competent
entangling with service, inspection
overhead  Control of slings wear and tear and the attachment
electrical cables to the load
 Hazard due to high  Crane capacity loading (85 % with working SLI, 60 %
wind velocity if SLI is not working)
  Load weight and lifting radius must be known and
within crane capacity
 The area must be barricaded; people should not be
allowed under lifted load
 low-capacity loading, working SLI, setting of crane
outriggers on the solid foundation
 Proper operators under the outriggers required.
The outriggers must always be extended in their full
length
 Elec. Overhead line is at least 6.0 m above from tip
of the crane
 Wind speed should be less than 19.4 knots (35
km/hr). For personnel lifting wind speed should be
less than 14 knots
