2. Managing Lifting Safety

Lifting Operation

• The use of cranes to lift and move heavy objects is a


crucial and common activity in many industries such
as construction, ship-building, ship-repairing or
manufacturing process.
• Every lift carries a set of risks that needs to be
managed in order to prevent an accident from
occurring.
• Unsafe lifting operations can result in catastrophic
outcomes involving multiple fatalities and serious
injuries as well as extensive damage to properties and
facilities.

Routine versus Non-routine Lifts

Routine Lift
• A lift can be categorised as A Routine Lift if it is repetitive in nature and
involves loads that are similar in shape, size and weight, (i.e., multiple lifts of
similar items).
Non-Routine Lift
• A Non-routine Lift refers to lifting operation that is complex, carried out for
the first time or lifting close to the lifting capacity of the crane. For example,
a tandem “Tilt-up” Operation (i.e., lifting using two or more cranes to tilt a
long structure from horizontal position to vertical) is a complex non-routine
lift.
• Based on past experiences, most crane accidents happened during a routine
lift rather than a non-routine lift.
