1.0 INTRODUCTION

By their very nature, lifting operations involving personnel, equipment and company assetshave the potential to be the cause of serious accidents resulting in the loss of life, damage toequipment, the environment and to loss of revenue due to an interruption of production.Accidents involving lifting equipment continue to happen in industry and the only way we caninsure against these accidents is to follow strict guidelines regarding the Safe Use,Maintenance and Inspection of any and all associated components.

2.0 SCOPE

This Standard is applicable to all personnel (Company, Contract, Sub-Contract) working orvisiting on Company premises. It is designed to provide personnel involved in liftingoperations a minimum level guidance regarding the Safe Use, Maintenance and Inspection oflifting equipment and associated gear. It is not intended to replace in whole or in part anyexisting regulatory body regulations or industry accepted standards governing such

equipment and operations.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY

Each Department manager is responsible for ensuring all lifting equipment and associatedgear under his control is inspected prior to any use. That lifting equipment is only operated byqualified personnel, that it is in good working condition and maintained according to industryaccepted standards and that all relevant certification is up to date, on file and readilyaccessible for Port of Bahrain auditors or HSSE personnel or regulatory body representativeinspection.

Each Department manager shall develop a lifting gear register to record and track allcomponents requiring certification, shall keep the registers up to date, shall ensure all liftingequipment and associated gear has its identification markers firmly in place. Shall ensure no

lifting equipment or lifting gear-requiring certification is used to hoist any load until saidcertification is in effect and recorded.

Each Department Manager shall ensure there is a Preventative Maintenance System (PMS)in effect for the maintenance and inspection of all lifting equipment and associated gear.Those records are maintained and are up to date and available for inspection upon request byPort of Bahrain or regulatory body representatives.

Each department manager shall ensure that the equipment is inspected and tested annually(every 12 months) months by a competent person who is qualified and certified in theinspection and testing of lifting equipment and is approved to do so.

4.0 TRAINING

Only competent personnel shall engage in the operation of Port of Bahrain owned liftingequipment and associated lifting gear.

All personnel responsible for the operation of lifting equipment must have previouslycompleted and passed a training course acceptable to APMT standards and shall maintain onfile a copy of said certification while engaged in lifting related operations. Certificates ofcompetency must be produced to a Port of Bahrain representative upon request. Failing to doso will result in the immediate cessation of work until the certificate of competency can beproduced.

5.0 SAFE WORK PRACTICES

Port of Bahrain and third party contractors shall ensure the following safe working practicesare strictly adhered to during any lifting operation undertaken by their personnel both onshoreand offshore.

5.1 Lifting Tackle

The following procedures shall be strictly adhered to any deviations from these providers canlead to reprimands recorded on ones record and ultimately dismissal.

All items of lifting tackle shall be plainly marked with its Safe Working Load (SWL)identification numbers and colour coding

A competent person as per the regulations shall inspect all items of lifting tackle orinstructions issued by the client or as stated by regulations or degrees by local Governingbody in the country of operations. (See Appendix A).
