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

suitable alternative to that detailed in this Method Statement, (at no extra cost to the client). In the event of this situation

arising, the Appointed Person and the Site Manager will be notified. The AP/Crane Supervisor will ensure that any changes do

not infringe on the factors or safety within this method statement.

3 WEATHER CONDITIONS3.1 In the event of extreme weather conditions the lift company may need to suspend the lifting operation until such time as it is

safe to proceed. Although the safe workable wind speed varies from crane to crane, as a guide, the maximum wind speed at

which lifting operations can take place is 10 metres per second, (22mph).

In the event that man riding duties are required the maximum workable wind speed reduces to 7 metres per second, (16mph).

Please note that local conditions and the safety of personnel may dictate the Crane Supervisor and Crane Operator have to

suspend lifting operations at a lower wind speed than specified in this Method Statement. In addition, lifting operations must

stop during storms or when there is a risk of lightning strikes.

4 GROUND CONDITIONS4.1 The lift company will endeavour to advise the client regarding ground conditions, after a visual inspection (or where

necessary/provided, perusal of a client ground survey report) and supply suitable plates, mats where required. The Client is

Slinger/Signaller(s):

CITB CTA Card Expiry Date:

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.


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.
