WARNING – Wire rope grips should not be used for lifting purposes and are not
intended for the permanent fastening of a rope that is subject to high dynamic
loading. Wire rope grips should not be used on hoist wires, break-out line and hang
off wires. International Standards do not recommend Wire Rope clip (U-bolts)
terminations for elevator, personnel hoist and scaffold applications.
Failure to read, understand, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions may cause
death or serious injury. Read and understand those instructions before using clips.
Match the same size clip to the same size wire rope and prepare wire rope end
termination only as instructed. Do not use with plastic coated wire rope.

c) Slings – General
Slings are generally one of six types: chain, wire rope, metal mesh, natural fiber
rope, synthetic fiber rope, or synthetic web. In general, use and inspection
procedures tend to place these slings into three groups: wire rope & mesh, fiber
rope web and Chain (Chains are only to be used to secure loads). Each type has its
own particular advantages and disadvantages. Factors that should be taken into
consideration when choosing the best sling for the job include the size, weight,
shape,
temperature, and sensitivity of the material to be moved, as well as the
environmental conditions under which the sling will be used.
3
6
i) Wire Rope
The most common type of sling is made of wire rope. Wire rope is composed of
individual wires that have been twisted to form strands. The strands are then
twisted to form a wire rope. When wire rope has a fiber core, it is usually more
flexible but is less resistant to environmental damage. Conversely, a core that is
made of a wire rope strand tends to have greater strength and is more resistant to
heat damage.
ii) Wire Rope Sling Selection
When selecting a wire rope sling to give the best service, there are four
characteristics to consider: strength, ability to bend without distortion, ability to
withstand abrasive wear, and ability to withstand abuse.
1) Strength - The strength of a wire rope is a function of its size, grade, and
construction. It must be sufficient to accommodate the maximum load that will
be applied. The maximum load limit is determined by means of an appropriate
multiplier. This multiplier is the number by which the ultimate strength of a wire
rope is divided to determine the working load limit. Thus a wire rope sling with
a strength of 10,000 pounds and a total working load of 2,000 pounds has a
design factor (multiplier) of 5. New wire rope slings have a design factor of 5.
As a sling suffers from the rigors of continued service, however, both the
design factor and the sling's ultimate strength are proportionately reduced. If a
sling is loaded beyond its ultimate strength, it will fail. For this reason, older
slings must be more rigorously inspected to ensure that rope conditions
adversely affecting the strength of the sling are considered in determining
whether or not a wire rope sling should be allowed to continue in service.
2) Fatigue - A wire rope must have the ability to withstand repeated bending
without the failure of the wires from fatigue. Fatigue failure of the wires in a wire
rope is the result of the development of small cracks under repeated
applications of bending loads. It occurs when ropes make small radius bends.
The best means of preventing fatigue failure of wire rope slings is to use
blocking or padding to increase the radius of the bend.
3
7
A permanent kink in a wire rope sling causes loss of strength. Discard the
sling.
3) Abrasive Wear - The ability of a wire rope to withstand abrasion is determined

by the size, number of wires, and construction of the rope. Smaller wires bend
more readily and therefore offer greater flexibility but are less able to withstand
abrasive wear. Conversely, the larger wires of less flexible ropes are better
able to withstand abrasion than smaller wires of the more flexible ropes.
4) Abuse - All other factors being equal, misuse or abuse of wire rope will cause
a wire rope sling to become unsafe long before any other factor. Abusing a
wire rope sling can cause serious structural damage to the wire rope, such as
kinking or bird caging which reduces the strength of the wire rope.
In bird caging, the wire rope strands are forcibly untwisted and become spread
outward. Therefore, in order to prolong the life of the sling and protect the lives
of employees, the manufacturer's suggestion for safe and proper use of wire
rope slings must be strictly adhered to.
5) Corrosion - Severe corrosion of the rope or end attachments which has
caused pitting or binding of wires should be cause for replacement. Slight
external rusting usually does not affect the strength of a sling.
iii) Wire Rope Life
Many operating conditions affect wire rope life. They are bending, stresses,
loading conditions, speed of load application (jerking), abrasion, corrosion,
sling design, materials handled, environmental conditions, and history of
previous usage.
In addition to the above operating conditions, the weight, size, and shape of
the loads to be handled also affect the service life of a wire rope sling.
Flexibility is also a factor. Generally, more flexible ropes are selected when
smaller radius bending is required. Less flexible ropes should be used when
the rope must move through or over abrasive materials.
iv) Wire Rope Sling Inspection
Wire rope slings must be visually inspected before each use. The operator
should check the twists or lay of the sling. If ten randomly distributed wires in
one lay are broken, or five wires in one strand of a rope lay are damaged, the
sling must not be used. It is not sufficient, however, to check only the condition
of the wire rope. End fittings and other components should also be inspected
for any damage that could make the sling unsafe.
3
8
To ensure safe sling usage between scheduled inspections, all workers must
participate in a safety awareness program. Each operator must keep a close
watch on those slings he or she is using. If any accident involving the
movement of materials occurs, the operator must immediately shut down the
equipment and report the accident to a supervisor. The cause of the accident
must be determined and corrected before resuming operations.
v) Field Lubrication
Although every rope sling is lubricated during manufacture, to lengthen its

useful service life it must also be lubricated "in the field." There is no set rule on
how much or how often this should be done. It depends on the conditions
under which the sling is used. The heavier the loads, the greater the number of
bends, or the more adverse the conditions under which the sling operates, the
more frequently lubrication will be required. Examples of suitable lubricants
are; Lanotec (lanolin extract), fish oil or light oil. Caution must be used with fish
oil as it can spontaneously combust when left on soiled rags and cleaning
fabrics.
vi) Storage
Wire rope slings should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry building or shed.

Never store them on the ground or allow them to be continuously exposed to
the elements because this will make them vulnerable to corrosion and rust.
And, if it is necessary to store wire rope slings outside, make sure that they are
set off the ground and protected.
Note: Using the sling several times a week, even at a light load, is a good
practice. Records show that slings that are used frequently or continuously
give useful service far longer than those that are idle.
vii) Discarding Slings
Wire rope slings can provide a margin of safety by showing early signs of
failure. Factors requiring that a wire sling be discarded include the following:
 Severe corrosion
 Localized wear (shiny worn spots) on the outside
 A one-third reduction in outer wire diameter
 Damage or displacement of end fittings - hooks, rings, links, or collars -
by overload or misapplication
 Distortion, kinking, bird caging, or other evidence of damage to the wire
rope structure Excessive broken wires
viii) Chains
Chains are commonly used because of their strength and ability to adapt to the
shape of the load. Care should be taken, however, when using alloy chain
slings because they are subject to damage by sudden shocks. Misuse of chain
slings could damage the sling, resulting in sling failure and possible injury to an
employee. For this reason, chains are not allowed for lifting purposes at GWDC
Kuwait. They may only be used for securing loads. The only exception is if
3
9
there is legislation to the contrary in the Country of operations.

All sling types must be visually inspected prior to use. When inspecting alloy
steel chain slings pay special attention to any stretching, wear in excess of the
allowances made by the manufacturer, and nicks and gouges. These are all
indications that the sling may be unsafe and is to be removed from service and
destroyed. A major disadvantage of using chain for lifting applications is the
difficulty in detecting a cracked link.
7.13.8 Safe Rigging Practices & Guidelines
a) Safe Lifting Practices
 There are four primary factors to take into consideration when safely lifting a
load. They are (1) the size, weight, and center of gravity of the load; (2) the
number of legs and the angle the sling makes with the horizontal line; (3) the
rated capacity of the sling; and (4) the history of the care and usage of the
sling.
 Size, Weight, and Center of Gravity of the Load - The center of gravity of an
object is that point at which the entire weight may be considered as
concentrated. In order to make a level lift, the crane hook must be directly
above this point. While slight variations are usually permissible, if the crane
hook is too far to one side of the center of gravity, dangerous tilting will result
causing unequal stresses in the different sling legs. This imbalance must be
compensated for at once.
 Number of Legs and Angle with the Horizontal - As the angle formed by the
sling leg and the horizontal line decreases, the rated capacity of the sling also
decreases. In other words, the smaller the angle between the sling leg and the
horizontal, the greater the stress on the sling leg and pad eye and the smaller
(lighter) the load the sling can safely support. Larger (heavier) loads can be
safely moved if the weight of the load is distributed among more sling legs.
Basket pad eyes are generally designed for a 60 degree or greater sling angle.
 Rated Capacity of the Sling - The rated capacity of a sling varies depending
upon the type of sling, the size of the sling, and the type of hitch. Operators
must know the capacity of the sling. Charts or tables that contain this
information generally are available from sling manufacturers. The values given
are for new slings. Older slings must be used with additional caution. Under no
circumstances shall a sling's rated capacity be exceeded.
 History of Care and Usage - The mishandling and misuse of slings are the
leading causes of accidents involving their use. The majority of injuries and
accidents, however, can be avoided by becoming familiar with the essentials of
proper sling care and usage. Proper care, usage and inspections are essential
for maximum service and safety. Slings must be protected from sharp bends
and cutting edges by means of cover saddles, burlap padding, or wood
blocking, as well as from unsafe lifting procedures such as overloading. Before
making a lift, check to be certain that the sling is properly secured around the
load and that the weight and balance of the load have been accurately
determined. If the load is on the ground, do not allow the load to drag along the
ground. This could damage the sling. If the load is already resting on the sling,
4
0
ensure that there is no sling damage prior to making the lift. Next, position the
hook directly over the load and seat the sling squarely within the hook bowl.
This gives the operator maximum lifting efficiency without bending the hook or
overstressing the sling. Wire rope slings are also subject to damage resulting
from contact with sharp edges of the loads being lifted. These edges can be
blocked or padded to minimize damage to the sling.
b) Safe Working Loads (SWL)
The following chart indicates the tonnage pull on each leg of the sling from 0°
to 120°. When lifting with multi-leg slings, they are rated at a certain tonnage
from 0 to 90 and this SWL should not be exceeded even if the angle is less
than 90°. When using single slings in pairs you must always be aware of the
increased loading in the slings when lifting at an angle. Care should be taken
that the safe working load of a sling is not exceeded.
For the above reason, the SWL of a pair of single slings decreases as the angle
between them increases.
0° SWL = SWL of one sling x SWL = SWL of one
30° SWL = SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.966 SWL = SWL of one sling x 2 x 1.93
120° SWL = SWL of one sling x 2 x 0.5 SWL = SWL of one sling only
4
1
c) Lifting and Transferring Loads Guidelines

After the sling is properly attached to the load, there are a number of good
lifting techniques that are common to all slings:
 Make sure that the load is not lagged, clamped, or bolted to the floor.
 Check all lifts for loose items and potential dropped objects.
 Guard against shock loading by taking up the slack in the sling slowly.
Apply power cautiously so as to prevent jerking at the beginning of the lift,
and accelerate or decelerate slowly.
 Check the tension on the sling. Raise the load a few inches, stop, and
check for proper balance and that all items are clear of the path of travel.
Never allow anyone to ride on the hood or load.
 Keep all personnel clear while the load is being raised, moved, or lowered.
Crane or hoist operators should watch the load at all times when it is in
motion.
DO NOT:
 Allow more than one person to control a lift or give signals to a crane or
hoist operator except to warn of a hazardous situation.
 Raise the load more than necessary.
 Leave the load suspended in the air.
 Work under a suspended load or allow anyone else to.
Once the lift has been completed, clean the sling, check it for damage, and
store it in a clean, dry airy place. It is best to hang it on a rack or wall.
Remember, damaged slings cannot lift as much as new or well-cared for older
slings. Safe and proper use and storage of slings will increase their service
life.

components of their loads are secured and have not come loose during the rig move.
The recommended schedule for stop check inspections is:
 Summer – the convoy will stop every five kilometers to conduct inspection winter –
the convoy will stop every ten kilometers to conduct inspection.
 It is the responsibility of the lead escort vehicle to measure the distances travelled
and stop the convoy appropriately when necessary.
 When travelling in convoy or out of convoy, only the approved designated rig route
shall be followed, no deviations from the approved rig move route are permitted.
 When travelling in convoy, no vehicle shall attempt to overtake any of the vehicles in
front of them! If necessary to stop the vehicle in front of them due to an identified
hazard the driver shall stop his vehicle and notify the following escort vehicle to
communicate with the lead escort vehicle to stop the convoy, in order to correct the
identified hazard.
 All overhead cables are to be approached with caution. Each truck has to stop then
proceed slowly under the cables to avoid any excessive movement of the Truck
suspension.
 The following is a table to determine whether the Rig can pass safely under the
overhead cables.

 The Critical Lift Plan MUST be completed by a competent person who is by definition
a person who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the
surroundings or working conditions and has the authority to correct them.
 All Critical lifts must be performed by qualified person who is by definition a person
who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience has demonstrated his ability to
solve and resolve issues related to critical lifting.
 It is mandatory to review the Critical Lift Plan at the site just prior to conducting the lift
and ensuring that a permit to work has been generated and approved prior to
conducting the critical lift.
*Refer KOC.SA.029 - Safety Procedure for Mechanical Handling of Loads
9.2 Loading and Unloading Guidelines
9.2.1 Vehicles and Equipment

 Trucks must be in good condition to safely transport the loads. All loads must be
evenly distributed on the trailer to avoid any load movement on the trailer during
transportation. Before leaving the Site, the driver shall inspect the loads on all sides
for stability of the load and to ensure that no personnel are present near the
truck/trailer. The loading and unloading of materials shall be done in the presence of
the responsible truck driver. Loads/Pipes/tools of uneven lengths shall be stored in an
approved metal basket for transportation.
 Beacon lights, reflective stickers and other hazard indicator signage shall be available
on the truck to communicate the hazards.
 Tanks containing mud, water and chemicals must be loaded clean and empty in order
to avoid instability of loads and leading to the trailer/truck rolling over during
transportation. Mobile storage tanks are exempt from this clause. Chemicals
(liquid/solid) transported during the rig move shall have the appropriate hazard
communication chart.
 Each piece of mobile equipment must have a working backup alarm
 Inspect all slings and shackles for damage or wear before loading and unloading.
 Inspect slings, pad-eyes and lifting points for damage or wear before each lifts.
 While operating bed trucks and gin pole trucks, the driver must ensure that the
banksman is in view of the driver AT ALL TIMES to signal hazards and that all
personnel are clear of moving trucks.
 Use a bed truck to tailboard loads on soft surfaces.
 When operating tractor trailer units, the driver must ALWAYS know the position of the
banksman and the rig crew before backing up. Drivers are not permitted to back any
vehicle on site without the use of a banks-man.
 Use a relay signaler to give signals when the driver's view of the primary signaler is
obstructed.
 The driver should ensure that the ground is solid, before shifting loads to the rear
axles, to avoid upsets.

being tensioned around the load.

 Shock loading is prohibited.
 A sling shall not be pulled from under a load when the load is resting on the sling,
always ensure adequate spacers are available and in use.
 Rigging hooks shall not be overloaded. The hook must be provided with a safety latch
or other efficient device. Alternatively the hook must be of a sufficient size and shape
to minimize the risk of the sling or load becoming detached.
 Hooks having deformations, throat openings or wear exceeding the manufacturer’s
recommended limits shall be removed from service.
 Hooks having cracks or inoperative safety latches shall be removed from service.
 All pad-eyes intended for lifting must be manufactured and certified to API standards.
 Homemade pad-eyes or flame cut lifting points are prohibited.
9.2.4 Power line safety
 When practical, power lines shall be de-energized for any work where contractor
employees or equipment could approach within 10 feet (3.3m) of the power line (e.g.,
the boom swing of a crane). All power lines shall be considered energized unless
proper measures have been taken for de-energizing.
 When conducting work near energized overhead power lines, any part of the crane,
boom, mast, gin poles, or machinery shall not be permitted within 10 feet (3.3m) of
any power lines.
 When in transit with no load and the boom, mast, gin poles, etc. lowered and cradled,
the equipment or load clearance shall be a minimum of 10 feet (3.3m) from any power
lines.
 When the mast is raised or lowered, it shall clear all energized power lines by a
minimum of 20 feet (6.6m).
 Portable cranes and portable light towers used in rig up and rig down operations shall
be operated to keep the boom at least 25 feet from energized power lines.
 Never allow anyone to ride on a load to lift power lines. Call the power company.
9.2.5 Lifting Materials/Loading/Unloading
Only authorized and designated personnel are allowed to operate lifting or material
handling equipment, whether or not it is lifting a load or for movement during
maintenance work and testing. The rated capacity of the lifting equipment shall not be
exceeded other than for the express purpose of a test of said equipment. Before
starting any lifting operation, the following guidelines shall be observed:
 Lifting and material handling equipment shall never be used on a soft or uneven
surface or on a slope unless precautions have been taken to ensure stability of the
equipment.
 It is recommended to use pre and post loading checklist (Attachment ZL Pre Load &
Post Load checklist) for the Lifting safety.
5

 In case of extreme emergency, Rig Move during nighttime shall be carried out after
approval from concerned KOC drilling operations Team after detailed risk assessment
and implementation of risk mitigating control measures. Rig Superintendent should be
available during the night Rig Move.
 Crane Operators must ensure that the ground in the lift area is suitable and can
support the weight of the lift otherwise additional outrigger matting may be necessary.
 The Operator shall ensure that precautions are taken to ensure that lifting equipment
is clear of any underground piping or electrical cables, or where it is not possible,
underground piping and/or electrical cables are adequately protected to safeguard
against possible damage or release.
 The Operator shall be familiar with all controls.
 The Operator shall have a clear and unobstructed view of the load and operational
area. If not the Operator shall act only under the directions of a signalman who is
positioned to have a clear unobstructed view. The Operator and signalman shall
ensure that loads and the lifting gear are well clear of obstructions.
 Signals conforming to the GWDC Kuwait Hand Signals Standard shall be used for
communication between the Operator and the signalman. A GWDC Kuwait Crane
Hand Signals sign board is posted at each worksite.
 The Operator and the signalman must verify the weight of the load and the suitability
of all lifting gear before the load is lifted. When lifting a non-uniform load the Operator
must identify the center of gravity prior to lifting.
 When lifting a load it shall initially be lifted just enough to clear the ground or
supporting surface and be brought to rest while the slings and balance of the load are
checked, prior to proceeding. Proper care shall be exercised by the Operator at all
times to avoid shock or side loadings on the boom. The Operator must not lift any
load unless it is properly slung and safe for lifting.
 All persons shall be kept clear of loads which are to be lifted and also from suspended
loads. When lifting from a stack of material, all persons shall stand away from the
stack in case adjacent materials are dislodged.
 After materials, buildings and/or equipment is loaded, the driver shall not move the
truck before securing the load with adequate tie downs and only after the completion
of the post loading inspection by the Truck Push. All loads must be adequately
secured to prevent any items from falling from the truck bed/trailer during
transportation.
 Loads shall not be unsecured at the new location until such time as a forklift or crane
has been assigned to the job and the truck is in the unloading area.
 The Truck Driver is responsible for removing all tie downs securing the load.
9.2.6 Banks man operations safety

 Never stand between any vehicle and load until the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the emergency brakes are applied, and the driver signals to proceed.
 Pay attention to the location of all vehicles.
5
6
 Never crawl under a vehicle or a suspended load.

 DO NOT climb onto or off of truck until it has come to a complete stop and driver
signals to proceed. Be sure of footing while climbing or working on load and getting
off of load. DO NOT jump off the load.
 While working on a load, be sure that the driver knows where you are and what you
are doing. Watch for pinch points. Stand to the side of an object being moved NOT in
a direct line of the moving object.
 Ensure that all equipment is in good working order and is the proper size for the load.
Chain the load securely. Check chains and boomers frequently during a move.
 At least two workers are required to install or remove a gin pole cap and pull over a
gin pole.
 Be sure that all lines are properly strung before raising gin poles.
 When loading or unloading extra-heavy or sensitive buildings (e.g., VFD house, Driller
Cabin, etc.), it is recommended that the loading tractor double-line his winch and that
a gin pole truck be placed on each side of the building to assist the winch tractor in
loading and unloading.
 VFD Units should be hauled at slower speeds over rough roads. VFD Units should
not be bumped into position.
 Use hand-over-hand grip procedures when working with winch lines. DO NOT let the
line slip through your grip due to the danger of wickers.
 Report damaged winch lines to truck pusher or Tool pusher.
 Check the knot at the tail chain on winch line to ensure it will not pull through. Check
the line to be sure it is not worn ahead of the knot.
 Be sure that deck pins are put into slots with the long end down into the socket. DO
NOT catch the top of the pin during loading or unloading. Install hair pins (keepers) in
deck pins wherever possible.
 Hold deck pins with thumb and forefinger ON THE SIDES (away from the load) when
installing or removing.
 Stay away from the pins and the load when loads are being winched or moved.
9.3 Load Restraint / Securement

The Truck Pusher responsible for the rig move shall ensure that each load is secured
adequately before commencing the transportation of materials and equipment. The
following shall be ensured while inspecting the load securing assemblies to avoid
accidental release:
 Ensure that all loads are secured adequately to prevent any lateral and longitudinal
movement/falling during transportation.
 All tie downs (chains, straps and ropes) are inspected pre-use and certified for their
intended purpose and in good condition (i.e. – free from cracks, cuts, excessive
rusting etc.).
 Vehicle structures (side supports, bulkheads) and/or anchor points (i.e. – stake
5
7
pockets) shall be checked for any damages and adequate strength to support the
load being transported.
 The load shall be properly blocked and braced to prevent unintentional movement
during transport.
 No knots exist in strapping devices and tie downs.
 Loads must be distributed evenly on the trailers to prevent rolling/upset during
transport or while unloading.
 All loads shall be independently secured with independent tie downs.
 Tie down or component of Tie-down shall not used to secure cargo to vehicle unless
it is marked by manufacturer with respect to its working load limit.
 Edge protection (rubber packing) shall be ensured to prevent abrasion and cutting of
tie down devices.
 Truck side guards must:
a) Meet minimum height standards (4ft) and loads must not be higher than the side
guards.
b) Meet a minimum construction standard (width and length of pocket and made of
steel)
c) Must pass inspection requirements (no bent, cracked or distorted guards).
d) Be fitted into the pocket without play and shall be tightened into place with an
adequate mechanism as a screw and screw hole.
e) The side support pockets must not be used as anchor points for the tie downs.
f) The spacing of side supports shall not be more than one (1) meter.
 Load straps must meet a minimum strength of 5,000 lbs.
 Ratchets must be designed to release tension slowly.
 Only ratchet style load binders are approved for use at GWDC Kuwait
worksites, lever type binders are prohibited,
 Any small or loose objects shall be secured from unintentional movement or
placed in a basket or crate for transport.
g) All 3rd party/sub-contractor rig mover drivers shall be required to have “Road
Transport Cargo Securement” training prior to start of the job.

EXAMPLES OF TIE DOWNS:
Figure 1 – Tie downs can be attached to the cargo and provide direct resistance to restrain the
cargo from movement.
Figure 2 – Illustrates how tie downs can be passed over or through cargo to secure. By doing
so, they create a downward force that increases the effect of friction between the cargo and
the deck. This friction restrains the cargo.
5
9
Figure 3 – Each tie down must be attached and secured so that it does not become loose or
unfasten, open or release during transit. All tie downs and other components of a cargo
securement system must be located within the rub rails (when present). NOTE: This
requirement does not apply when the width of the load extends to or beyond the rub rails.
How many tie downs are required?
If a load is not prevented from forward movement (for example, by the headboard, bulkhead, or
other cargo, or tie down attached directly to the load), secure the load according to the
following requirements:
Figure 4 – a load measuring 1.52 m (5ft) or shorter with a weight less than 500 Kg (1,000 Lbs.)
requires a minimum of one tie down.
Figure 5 – a load measuring 1.52 m (5 ft) or shorter but over 500 kg. (1,000 Lbs.) must have
6
0
a minimum of two tie downs.
Figure 6 – a load measuring more than 1.52 m (5 ft.) but less 3.02 m (10 ft.) requires a minimum
of two tie downs.
Figure 7 – all loads must have adequate securement which means one tie down for every 3.04 m
(10 ft.) Or part thereof.
9.4 Rig Loading Sequence Register
9.4.1 Determining Equipment Lifts

 In order to establish a rig move plan, a complete list of rig lifts and loads must be
established as suggested in the “Loading Sequence Register”.
 The Load Sequence Register must include all lifts making sure that you include the
estimated weights and dimensions for each lift. This information will be required to
determine the type of transportation and trailer necessary to move the lifts.
 At this point, the following columns on the register must be completed:
a) Item #
b) Equipment type
c) Load dimensions
d) Estimated Weight
9.4.2 Determining “Criticality”
 Once the lifts have been determined, an assessment of the criticality of the lift must now
be determined. Criticality is generally grouped into one of the following categories:
a. Critical lift – Lifts with crane weighing more than 50 tons, exceeding 75% of rated crane
capacity, tandem lift involving more than one crane, involving crane movement within the
minimum distances from high voltage power lines (as per API RP 54), blind lift, personnel
lifts in personnel baskets, lifting of - BOP equipment, mud pump, mast, substructure and
6
1
any part of a crane whose boom attachment is working within 10 meters (33 feet) of any
hydrocarbon and / or pressurized piping areas. All critical lifts need lifting plan
implemented.
b. Pre-move lift / Non-essential lift - Rig load that can be moved at any convenient time
during the rig move. Rig loads that are not required for finishing/completing the well and
which therefore can be moved to new location prior to rig release, but after location
inspection and release letter from KOC. (E.g. Pre-Mix tanks). Usually, those non-essential
loads are pieces of equipment that can be rearranged at the rig site to expedite the rig
move process.
 Once the criticality of each lift has been determined as per the legend above, equipment
items should be placed on the “Loading Sequence Register” in chronological order based
on which lift category they have been determined to be. Logic and experience will have to
be used to group lifts into the categories above. In addition, make sure to comply with any
contractual requirements when determining criticality of loads.
9.4.3 Determining Single “Loads”
 Now that lift criticality has been established and sorted, load determination must be
established through combinations of lifts. Loads will be determined and limited to
transportation means in which rig moves will be achieved. For example, if rig moves will
take place using trucks with 40 – ton flat beds which are 40 ft long, then lifts will have to be
combined in a manner in which they comply with the length and weight requirements of
the truck beds. In essence, the following requirements must be adhered to when
combining lifts into loads:
a. Maximum weight allowance of the vehicle
b. Maximum dimensions of the vehicle.
 Combine lifts into loads taking into account the requirements listed above. In order to
increase efficiency, combine as many lifts into a load as possible not exceeding the limits
mentioned above.
 Once the loads have been determined, re-sort the information so that it is sorted by load
number (final column) in ascending order. You have now determined the number of loads
and combination of lifts into any single load. In addition, you have established which loads
can be moved prior to the actual rig move, which loads are critical to be moved during the
rig move and which loads can be moved as needed during the rig move.
9.4.4 Loading Sequence Register
The Loading Sequence Register provides you with the framework for all future rig moves,
providing critical information such as load dimensions and loading sequence. This register
can be adjusted as per your needs and priorities in future rig moves or if a more adequate
loading sequence is identified.（Refer to Attachment ZK Loading sequence Register）
9.5 Critical Load Data Sheets
 All critical loads identified during the rig move must have a Critical Load Data Sheet
prepared in advance of the rig move.
 The Critical Load Data Sheet contains all the necessary data required to prepare a critical
lift plan for lifting the equipment and loading onto the necessary rig move equipment.
6
2
 The Critical Load Data Sheet shall be prepared with the assistance of the experienced
Crane Operator and the Rig Site Safety officer.
 Once the Critical Load Data Sheet is prepared it should not be necessary to revise the
document in the future and can be submitted as part of subsequent Rig Move Plans.
 Each Critical Load Data Sheet MUST be accompanied by a site specific Critical Lift Plan
illustrating how the lift shall be conducted safely (a previous Critical Lift Plan can be used if
no changes to the positioning of the rig equipment is different and the placement of the
crane is the same).
10.0 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

10.1 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
In the event of an emergency, good communication is essential! In order to be prepared in case
of an emergency, GWDC Kuwait has a Rig Specific Emergency Response Plan in place to deal
with typical emergencies. All employees shall be familiar with the plan as well as individual
responsibilities required by each employee. All emergency contact numbers will be posted in the
Rig Managers Office at the worksite and in the mess rooms at the main camp. Emergency
contact numbers must include but are not limited to the following:
 KOC Emergency Response Hotline ‘160’
 Nearest Police Station
 Nearest Hospital
