• be considered a critical lift and thus subject to additional requirements for job planning and operating practice, and

• use slings with a working load rating that is double the load being lifted (e.g. a five-ton straight lift requires a sling with a 10-ton working load rating).

Synthetic slings must not be used when exposed to:

• sharp edges or rough surfaces,

• temperatures exceeding 194°F, and

• chemicals,

or the load may rotate in the sling.

Chain Slings

Chain slings will be used only under the following circumstances:

• During onshore rig moves

• When approved for use by the SEPCo/Contract supervisor

• When rated and certified for the intended use

Stingers Refer to Offshore Pedestal Crane/Mobile Crane Operational Requirements.

Operational RequirementsBelow the HookSpreader Bars and Special Lifting Devices

Spreader bars and special lifting devices are fabricated steel structures typically used to ensure that rigging connected between the bar/frame and the load is vertical. Unlike a spreader bar, special lifting devices are engineered for specific lifting applications.

The QP shall be instructed in the use of the device by a designated person.

Instructions should include, but are not limited to the following:

• Application of the lifter to the load and adjustments, if any, that adapt the lifter to various sizes or kinds of loads

• Instructions for any special operations or precautions

• The manufacturer’s recommended operating procedures

• Store the lifter to protect it from damage

• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the lifter

Plate Clamps

The use of plate clamps is restricted to situations where the plate is:

• being removed from a racking system, or

• being moved a short distance with the lift maintained just above the deck/ground.

Universal plate clamps can lift a plate from horizontal to vertical and vice versa but must not be used to transport plates horizontally.

CompetencyCompetency Assessor Test

Testing sequence for Crane Operators

1. Written test-- Give them the question test and then verify that the answers are correct. Operator can only miss 5 questions. If they miss more than 5 they need to go back and study the standard OPS0055 and retake the test. If they miss less than 4 just go over the ones that they missed.

2. Pre-use Inspection-- Watch the Operator perform the pre-use inspection and grade them on the assessment sheet. Then go over the pre-use inspection with the Operator and discussed any missed items., If the Operator missed anything on the first pre-use inspection, there will need to be another pre-use inspection assessment performed.

3. Next they will go operate the Crane and you will need to periodically assess them as they perform the operation of the Crane. Depending on their progression level you will need to supervise their lifts.

Page 86: LLFP Onshore Training

Competency

As a competency assessor you will not only, have to supervise lifts of Crane Operators, but you will have to do assessments on contract Crane Operators and spot assessments on current Crane Operators

You will need to give them the question and answer test along with the pre-use inspection checklist.

You can give this question and answer test written or orally.

Networking Q & AAnswers to Frequently-Asked Questions

Slings The following is a list of frequently-asked questions regarding the SEPCo Lifting and Hoisting Standard. Answers have been provided by the Document Custodian. Question Answer

1. Can you hook a stinger into an existing stinger to make a longer stinger?

1. This is an acceptable practice but is not the preferred method of rigging. The preferred method is to get a longer stinger made, but should not be long enough to hang down below the belly pan when boomed straight up.

2. What do I have to do with my wire rope slings? Re-certify or just annual inspections?

2. Wire rope slings used for everyday use (not pre-slung) only have to have an annual inspection performed on them. A color code or a tag has to be on the sling showing when the sling was inspected. Refer to page 58 (Slings-Wire rope) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0

3. Do I need to have my slings third party inspected?

3. No, but only a Qualified Person can inspect slings. Currently there is a contract company that performs these annual inspections. Refer to page 58 (Slings-Wire rope) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0

4. Do I have to pull test my wire rope slings yearly at my location?

4. No. Only the pre-slung slings require annual recertification. Slings that are at your location are good for the life of the sling as long as they have a current annual inspection and manufactures tag is still in place. Refer to page 42 (Testing and Inspection Matrix) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0

5. Are my synthetic slings only good for one year or can they be inspected for continued use?

5. Synthetic slings are only good for one year after the manufacture date. Refer to page 60 (Slings-Synthetic-Slings-Periodic Inspections) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0

6. Synthetic slings that have never been in service and have been stored in a warehouse. Do I have to throw them away after one year?

6. Yes. Synthetic slings are only good for one year after manufacture date. Refer to page 60 (Slings-Synthetic-Slings-Periodic Inspections) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0

7. I have a set of pre-slung slings that have been on location for more than a year and they are out of date for the one-year requirement. What do I need to do?

7. The slings have to be inspected by a Qualified Person. Tagged with the inspection date, the QP’s name, QP’s signature, and the load manifested to indicate that the sling is out of certification and have been inspected by a QP. Refer to page 40 (Sling Requirements when Pre-Slinging) in OPS0055 Rev 1.0
