So by providing a competent inspection team for crane lifting activity we can follow the legal
requirement of employer as per C155-Safety and Health in oil and gas, 1988 (r164) . And can save
the peoples working in them from any mechanical failure (in crane) & heavy object falling to them.
Consideration of likelihood AND severity Aker offshore management provided proper tape barricading near crane lifting operations to warn
types of injury or ill health other employees as well as visitors. But tape barricading is less effective to prevent the risk of
number of workers at risk accident. Chances of mechanical failure & miscommunication between workers will increase since
how often the activity is carried out they are loading materials above the capacity of crane, hence likelihood increases and it is very
how widespread the risk is
probable
. Considering of likelihood and severity elaborated in 4 categories; -
Minimal – no injury or no damage.
Minor – required first aid, or slight damage to site location equipment and material. No hospital
treatment required.
Major – required hospital treatment. Catastrophic – death or irreparable.
In the site location, crane lifting operations are going on a daily routine basis and the control
measures are not sufficient to reduce the risk through this, they may get physical injuries like; bone
fracture, and serious head injury, also may cause death. Including foreman, operator, and crane
The inspection will fully control the risk levels and by following the health and safety standards
with knowledge and competency it makes the working place safe because the inspection team will
allow the operator or supervisor to do lifting activity only after observing all scales
Specific legal arguments The ILO’s Convention C155 and Recommendation (R164) requires employers to make sure that processes
are reasonably safe. The ILO code of practice (CoP) ‘Safety in the use of chemicals at work’ gives specific
