2 GENERAL CONDITIONS2.1 The Site Manager will provide details of all items to be lifted, including weights, dimensions and any specific lifting tackle
requirements. The Site Manager is responsible for the structural integrity of all loads to be lifted including any specified lifting
points or slinging recommendations.
2.2 The Site Manager must ensure safe access to and egress from site for all lifting personnel and vehicles, and also ensure that theworking area is clear of all obstructions to allow the safe assembly and working of the crane. The Site Manager will beresponsible for supplying suitable floodlighting where necessary or when required.
The Site Manager must carry out any enabling works required prior to crane arrival.
2.3 The Site Manager must ensure that the area where the crane is to stand/operate is firm and level and this it is capable ofwithstanding the expected loadings that will be imposed upon it.
2.4 The Site Manager must ensure that any Traffic Management (not supplied by the lift company) is in place prior to thepositioning of the crane.
2.5 Any personnel not directly concerned with the lift must be kept out of the crane assembly and working area. The working areashould be cordoned off with barrier tape, temporary fencing or otherwise secured, to prevent non lift associated personnel or
the general public from entering the lifting area.
2.6 The Crane Supervisor shall make himself known to all relevant personnel on site, and conduct a Toolbox Talk prior tocommencing operations. The Site Manager should arrange for a site specific induction for the lifting personnel prior to the
commencement of work. The Site Managers Site Risk Assessment, which identified any site hazards should be made available
and brought to the attention of the lifting personnel.
2.7 All cranes to be left unattended for a period, shall be left in safe condition (jib retracted or laid down if possible), with not loadon the crane hook. Cranes shall be shut down and isolated as per manufacturers instructions, secured and locked. Under no
circumstances shall the crane be moved for lifting purposes if not under the instruction of the Crane Supervisor.
2.8 In the event that specified cranes or lifting tackle, cannot be supplied on the day of operation due to operational issues,breakdown or any unforeseen circumstances. The lift company has the discretion to supply cranes or equipment that is of a

Crane Driver:
9.1 The crane, together with the associated operating crew will arrive on site at the specified and agreeddate and time.
9.2 Crane Supervisor will meet the Site Manager and carry out Toolbox Talk with all personnel involved inthe lifting operation. Once this has been completed, all involved in the lifting operation must sign the
register for this Method Statement. Any site inductions that are required will also be carried out.
9.3 Any traffic management, ancillary pans, mats or temporary roadways etc that are required to bepositioned by hi-ab or other means, prior to the crane or cranes manoeuvring into position, will be
done under the instruction of the Crane Supervisor.
9.4 The crane will then manoeuvre into position as shown on attached drawing. All manoeuvring to becarried out under the guidance of a member of the lifting crew.9.5 The crane will then commence set-up procedure and rig to the configuration stated in section 8.1. All
personnel assisting with rigging will be under the guidance of the crane operator, at all times. The set-
up procedure will be carried out as per crane manufactures manual.
9.6 Upon completion of the rigging procedure, the crane operator will carry out procedural safety andcomputer checks, implementing any specific operational requirements, i.e. slewing restrictions, short
rig configurations or fly jib configurations.
9.7 The Crane Supervisor will then carry out a radio communications check between the crane operatorand the lifting crew.
9.8 Hook block of crane will then be lowered and required lifting tackle placed on the hook, Lift Supervisorwill ensure that the correct lifting tackle has been selected.
9.9 The crane operator will then be instructed to hoist lifting tackle clear of any obstructions and positionthe crane ready for the first required lift. Any delivery/removal vehicles will now be positioned adjacent
to the crane as per attached drawings, ready for work to commence.
10 LIFTING PROCEDURE10.1 Slinger/Signallers will issue instructions via hand signals or two-way radios to the crane operator to
position the crane over first required lift, Slinger/Signallers will plumb the boom head, directly over the
load or set short to allow for jib deflection where necessary.
7/30/2019 Crane Lifting Plan
12/20
10.2 The Slinger/Signallers will instruct crane operator, the lower the hooks with lifting tackle to allow
Slinger/Signaller to attach lifting tackle to load.
LIFTING PROCEDURE (Continued)10.3 All slinging will be carried out by fully trained, certificated and experienced slingers.
Slinging methods adopted will be as specified by load manufacturers, using specified lifting points or, in
the event that no manufacturer instruction or lifting points are provided, our Slingers will work to the
Appointed Persons recommendations and to Health & Safety executives guidelines for safe slinging for
lifting loads, (see section 7.2 & 7.3).
The lifting tackle used, will be as stated in section 7.3 and will have current test certification available.
10.4 Upon completion of the attachment of the lifting tackle to the load, the Slinger/Signaller will instructthe operator by hand signals or radios, to hoist up to take the slack out of the lifting tackle. Once the
lifting tackle has started to take the weight and has tightened the Slinger/Signaller will instruct operator
or operators to stop hoisting. The Slinger/Signaller will then carry out a check around the load to ensure
that the lifting tackle is sitting correctly, angled correctly and also check any lifting points for security
and correct operation.
10.5 Once lifting tackle check has been carried out the Slinger/Signaller will instruct the crane operator oroperators, to hoist the load to a height that allows the lifting tackle to take the full weight of the load
and again instruct the operator to stop hoisting when the load is just airborne to allow a final check of
the lifting tackle and lifting points and also check the structural integrity of the load.
10.6 Once the Slinger/Signaller is confident that the lifting tackle and the load are secure, any tag lines thatmay be required will be attached to the load. Instructions will then be given to the crane operator or
operators to hoist the load clear of any obstructions, ensuring that any site specific risks are monitored
throughout the hoisting procedure.
10.7 Once the load is clear of all obstructions, the Slinger/signaller will give instructions to the craneoperator to manoeuvre the load as required for railing, or manoeuvre to the required landing area for
single crane lifts.
10.8 In the event that the landing area is at a different level or should access not permit, the Slinger/Signallerwill pass control of the crane signalling to a second strategically placed Slinger/Signaller at the landing
area.
10.9 The landing area Slinger/Signaller will then commence giving instructions to the crane operator oroperators to manoeuvre and lower the load to the required landing point, ensuring that any site specific
risks are monitored throughout the landing procedure.
10.10 The Slinger/Signaller will guide the load to the correct orientation as the load becomes contactable byhand or by attached tag lines.
10.11 The Slinger/Signaller will instruct the crane operator to lower the load to just above the landing positionand then instruct the operator to stop lowering to allow the Site Manager to confirm position and
orientation of load prior to landing.
10.12 Once the position is confirmed by the Site Manager, the Slinger/Signaller will instruct the operator toslowly lower load into position. Once landed, a final position check will be made before the
Slinger/Signaller instructs the operator to lower off all load weight.
10.13 Slinger/Signaller will instruct the operator to lower off, to allow lifting tackle to be released from theload. In the event that any load is too large or high for safe access by ladder, powered access
equipment or a lifted man basket will be used to remove slings from loads.
10.14 Once lifting tackle is detached from the load, the Slinger/Signaller will instruct the operator to slowlyhoist the lifting tackle clear of the load and any site specific risks ensuring that no snagging occurs.

13/20
10.15 Once the lifting tackle is clear of all obstructions the Slinger/signaller will instruct the crane operator to
manoeuvre the crane ready for any further lifts that may be required and had over to another
Slinger/Signaller were required.
10.16 All other required lifts will be carried out as stated in sections 11.1 to 11.5. The Lift Supervisor willensure that all lifting and operational procedures are followed as per the Appointed Persons
recommendations and that any queries or deviation from this Method Statement are notifiedimmediately to the Site Manager and the Appointed Person.
11 DE-RIG PROCEDURE11.1 Upon completion of the lifting operation, the Crane Supervisor will instruct the crane operator to load
any ancillary equipment or heavy lifting tackle onto relevant transport ready for removal from site.
11.2 The Crane Supervisor will then instruct the crane operator to lower all lifting tackle to the ground toallow removal from hook.
11.3 The crane operator will then instigate the removal of any lifting tackle stored on the crane and thencommence the de-rig procedure.
11.4 All personnel assisting with de-rigging will be under the guidance of the crane operator at all times.The de-rig procedure will be carried out as per crane manufacturers manual.
11.5 Once the crane has been de-rigged and all safety checks for road travel have been carried out the craneoperator will manoeuvre the crane/s off site, under the guidance of a member of the lifting crew. The
crane will then proceed on its way.
11.6 The remaining members of the lifting crew will ensure that any ancillary mats or equipment etc areremoved from site or placed in an appropriate position ready for collection prior to them leaving site.
11.7 Any traffic or pedestrian management arranged by the lift company will be unimplemented andremoved.
11.8 The Crane Supervisor will inform the Site Manager or site representative of the completion of theoperation and address any issues that may be raised and inform of any equipment left on site for later
collection.
