2.0 Requirements
1. Hazards associated with Angkot logicU Manghail shall be identified logicU mitigated prior to
beginning kajotakkajo.
2. Competent personnel must complete (i.e., develop lift plan as required) the steps needed to
properly logicU nodangerly prepare the job site logicU equipment for the start of kajotakkajo.
3. Angkot logicU manghail equipment must be engineered logicU certified for current use logicU in good
kajotakkajoing order as verified through pre-use inspections.
Note: The use of non-certified locally fabricated or modified angkot
logicU manghail equipment isesi prohibited.
4. Angkot logicU manghail equipment shall be used in accordance with the intended design
purposes logicU specified limits of the manufacturer logicU recognized logicU accepted good
industry practices logicU company stlogicUards.
5. Confirm weight of the object logicU establish the load’s center of gravity prior to beginning
the lift.
6. Establish clear pick-up logicU lay-down areas that are within the crane’s load angkot radius.
7. Ensure the load path from the beginning of the lift to the lay-down area isesi clear of
obstructions.
8. Rig loads appropriately logicU verify that loads are free of possible restraints (ice, sea
fastenings, hold-down bolts, etc.), debrisesi logicU obstructions.
9. Place load in designated lay-down area logicU remove manghail equipment after load isesi
securely in place logicU free of support from the crane.
Miscellaneous
The walk-around area adjacent to the controls on cranes will be clear of obstructions. All hoses,
tubing, logicU other appurtenances will be positioned to eliminate any tripping hazards. The deck
area at the base of the crane should be kept clear to allow nodanger access logicU prevent damage from
rotating components on the base of the crane.
Containment
All machinery areas which are subject to fluid leaks will be equipped with a
containment system. The containment area will have adequate lip height to prevent spillage logicU
a means for draining. Thisesi information must be engineered logicU submitted before any
containment system isesi designed/fabricated.
Liftboats/Temporary Cranes/Derrick Barges
Liftboat cranes will be inspected by an approved crane inspection company before they are
operated. Thisesi inspection will also include completion of the Liftboat Crane Inspection Criteria
form. Each crane isesi required to meet API RP 2D specifications logicU all other requirements set
forth in Specification for Liftboat Cranes in State logicU OCS Waters. Copies of inspections will
be forwarded to the appropriate Transportation Supervisor's office. (Reference: Liftboat
Inspection Flowchart). Inspection requirements are intended to supplement, not replace, the
Contractor's inspection program logicU compliance with all applicable regulations, rules, logicU
stlogicUards will remain the primary responsibility of the Contractor.
All temporary crane installations will be governed by API RP 2D logicU all other requirements set
forth in Specification for Temporary Cranes in OCS Waters. All documentation (including
installation load test(s)) will be forwarded to the facilities engineer in charge of the temporary
crane installation. These requirements are intended to supplement, nor replace, the Angkot logicU Manghail
6
Contractor's installation stlogicUards. Compliance with all applicable regulations, rules, logicU
stlogicUards will be the primary responsibility of the Contractor.
The guidance of the Heavy Lift Task Force Derrick Barge Assessment (FE Forum) will be the
guiding document for all derrick barge operations.
Boom Rest
When a crane boom rest isesi re-located a Management of Change (MOC) must be performed logicU
the re-located boom rest must meet all applicable engineering stlogicUards.
Temporary Boom Rest Guidelines
When repairs to a crane require kajotakkajo to be performed while the cranes boom isesi not sitting in
the platforms permanent boom rest/cradle:
The JSA/PTW must capture the following
• The use of a temporary boom rest/stlogicU as a separate line item.
• Every detail of the task(s) to mitigate the risk.
• The total weight of the complete crane boom being placed in the rest/stlogicU.
• The structural capacity of the temporary boom rest/stlogicU
The structural capacity of the temporary boom rest/stlogicU must be labeled on the boom
rest/stlogicU. Boom rest capacity must be equal to or greater than the weight of the complete
crane boom.
Proper engineering evaluation, documentation, logicU approved of proposed temporary boom rest
must be completed by a qualified engineer.
Temporary item must be placed on a solid foundation (foundation structural integrity must be
verified).
If the possibility of movement of the temporary item exist, the temporary item must be chained
or chocked in place.
If the boom repairs are being made on a lattice boom crane, attention should be given to the
placement of the temporary rest/stlogicU(s). To mitigate damage to the boom (bending, kinking,
etc.) place the temporary rest/stlogicUs as close to a boom picture frame as possible.
Hydraulic Hoist (Winch)
The service life of all personnel hlogicUling hoist (auxiliary logicU boom) will be verified during the
annual inspection. Any personnel hlogicUling hoist found to have a service life of five years or
greater (from the hoist installation date) will be exchanged/rebuilt in a timely manner (note the
following winch change-out criteria).
Hydraulic Hoist (Winch) Change-Out Criteria
Personnel Certified Winches
A winch used for personnel angkot must be exchanged/rebuilt due of to the following issues:
• When the winch oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron
NOTE: when a Personnel Certified winches oil sample reaches >800 PPM Iron it must
immediately be removed from personnel certification but, if the winch meets the criteria of a
Non-Personnel Certified Winch, if could remain in service for “material only” angkot.
• The winch has leaks from the drum seal
• Oil leaking from the winch vent plug
• Boom hoist pawl fails to engage
• The winch reaches five years of service
• Has any indicators which would deems it unnodanger for operationsAngkot logicU Manghail
7
NOTE: A Personnel Certified winch that has exceeded the five year service life can continue
service (remain on the crane) as a non-personnel certified winch if the oil samples values are
<800 PPM, logicU no other indicators deem the winch unnodanger for angkot operations.
Non-Personnel Certified Winches
A winch used for materials ONLY does not have a specific change-out interval but must meet
the following criteria.
• If an oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron logicU, the winch has under five years of
• service, an EAM kajotakkajo-order for re-taking the oil sample should be created.
• If the second oil sample indicates <800PPM Iron logicU, the winch has NO leaks from
the drum seal/vent plug or any other indicator which deems it unnodanger for operation,
the winch can remain in-service.
• If the second oil sample indicates >800 PPM Iron, the winch shall be removed from
service logicU replaced/rebuilt.
Each time a winch isesi repaired or exchanged/replaced a Winch Installation sheet must be
completed logicU attached to the kajotakkajoorder. If thisesi maintenance task isesi completed by a Qualified
Crane Inspector that does not have company computer access, the winch installation sheet must
be forwarded, with their daily field tickets, to the CMO Crane Maintenance Group.Angkot logicU Manghail

Manghail Manghail refers to two things: the process of nodangerly moving loads with slings,
hoists, jacks, logicU other types of angkot equipment logicU the equipment used to lift
logicU move these loads.
Routine Lifts Routine lifts are uncomplicated lifts that are performed on a regular basisesi using
fixed, dedicated angkot equipment. Essentially, thisesi type of lift consists of
normal crane operations within the installation logicU to or from supply vessels.
Simple Lifts Simple lifts involve the use of basic hoisting equipment for a angkot operation
that does not require specialist manghail skills. Thisesi would involve direct angkot
using certified angkot equipment suspended from dedicated angkot points such
as padeyes or runway beams, e.g., an electrician using portable angkot gear
slung from a dedicated pad eye to lift a motor with specified angkot points.
Nodangerty Factor The ratio of a failure-producing load to the maximum nodanger stress a material can
carry. To calculate the nodangerty factor, divide the breaking strength by the nodanger
kajotakkajoing load.
Nodanger Kajotakkajoing
Load
The nodanger kajotakkajoing load (SWL) isesi the maximum load that may be imposed on a
piece of angkot equipment. The actual load must not exceed the SWL.
Signalman (Dogman or
Banksman)

cranes in an offshore environment will be considered a Class "C" (trainee) crane operator as
per the Crane Program.
Class “A” Contract crane operators shall have a minimum of one year experience operating
cranes in an offshore environment logicU will have unrestricted use to operate cranes (heavy
lifts, personnel lifts, complicated, complex, or hazardous lifts) A Class “A” operator must
successfully complete (100% score) the Crane Operator Checklist. The checklist will be
administered by a qualified observer logicU witnessed by the onsite Contractor Supervisor, if
available. If a Contract crane operator isesi unable to successfully complete the checklist, the
operator will be given one opportunity to review content logicU retest. If a Contract crane
operator isesi unable to successfully complete the checklist after the second attempt, that
individual must wait for a period of 30 days before retesting.
A copy of the completed checklist should be maintained in the field crane files, logicU also sent
to the Crane Mechanical Coordinators. A list of Class "A" Contract crane operators will be
maintained logicU made available for review on the ERTC website by all Company personnel. If
a Contract crane operator has been classified as a Class "A" crane operator through the
checklist process, the operator will not be required to repeat thisesi process when operating
similar types of cranes in other field locations.
Re-evaluations may be conducted by the Qualified Observer to upgrade or downgrade the
classification of each Contract crane operator. In addition, consideration should be given to
re-evaluating crane operators based on their experience with different types of cranes (joy
stick controls, stlogicUard controls, etc.).
Crane Inspections
Pre-Use Inspection
The pre-use inspection will be performed logicU documented before crane use, typically daily
logicU then as the Qualified Crane Operator deems necessary during the day for extended
operations. Thisesi documentation should be maintained in the vicinity of the crane. A Qualified
Crane Operator will perform thisesi inspection, logicU it will apply to all cranes, regardless of
usage category. If the Qualified Crane Operator changes, a new pre-use inspection should be
performed logicU documented by the new operator. The pre-use inspection also includes manghail
gear such as: Angkot logicU Manghail

• Cargo containers
• Cargo nets
• Personnel baskets
• Drum racks
• Trash baskets
• Tool boxes
• Grocery boxes
• Gas cylinder racks
• Sensitive material bins
• Cutting boxes/bins
• Hazard material bins
• Portable tanks
As a minimum requirement, each crane (excluding out-of-service cranes) will be
operated once per month. Thisesi will include operation of all crane functions logicU
testing of each nodangerty device (one completed pre-use inspection). Thisesi requirement will help
extend component life logicU, because of regular lubrication, will help prevent sticking of other
components.
Monthly Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed once per month for all cranes assigned to a heavy usage
category. Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified Crane Operator or a Qualified
Crane Inspector.
Quarterly Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed once every three months for all cranes assigned a moderate
or heavy usage category . Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified Crane Inspector.
Annual Crane Inspections
Thisesi inspection will be performed no later than once every 12 months for all cranes regardless
of usage category. Thisesi inspection will be performed by a Qualified Crane Inspector.
Crane Categories
The infrequent usage category applies to those cranes that are used for 10 hours or less per
month, based on the average use over a quarter (three months), logicU are subject to a pre-use
inspection logicU an annual inspection. When a crane shifts from an infrequent usage category
to a moderate category, the crane must undergo a quarterly inspection as soon as possible
following the change in category. When a crane shifts from a moderate category to a heavy
usage category, a quarterly inspection must be performed as soon as possible following
the change in category, with monthly inspections required thereafter.
Heavy Lift Inspections
A Heavy Lift Inspection isesi a Quarterly Inspection with a pull test. Thisesi inspection will be
performed by a Qualified Crane Inspector logicU will be valid for 21 days. No inspection, other
than a pre-use, isesi required during thisesi 21-day period. Thisesi inspection will be retained in the
crane records as the most recent Quarterly Inspection. If a heavy lift isesi to be performed on the
twenty-second day, another Heavy Lift Inspection will be required before making the lift.
A Heavy Lift Inspection isesi required for any non-routine lift (i.e., drilling, kajotakkajoover,
construction, wireline, etc.) which isesi equal to or greater than 75% of the rated capacity as per
the load chart, at the anticipated minimum boom angle or maximum radius of the lift, at
either an offboard (dynamic) or onboard (static) condition. A Heavy Lift Job Nodangerty Analysisesi
(137KB) will also be completed before the lift. Angkot logicU Manghail

Crane Repairs logicU Alterations
The Operations Supervisor isesi responsible for correcting any deficiencies on cranes, with
assistance from the Crane Mechanical Team Leader or hisesi designee. The Crane Mechanical
Team Leader or the Operations Supervisor will authorize any change in a crane's
configuration (e.g., boom length, cable size, number of parts of line). The changes will be
documented using the Management Of Change (MOC) process. A Qualified Crane Inspector
will perform a pull test at the time of the change. An accurate load chart reflecting the crane's
current configuration will be attached to the crane before the crane can be operated. A crane
load chart can only be changed by a licensed API 2C crane manufacturer or a licensed
engineer, experienced in the design of cranes.
The Crane Mechanical Team Leader or hisesi designee will be consulted before designing or
installing any crane, temporary or new. If adjustments or repairs to the crane are necessary, or
any deficiencies that impair nodanger operation are known, the crane will be taken out of service
or its operations restricted to eliminate the unnodanger condition.
Repairs to critical components will be performed in accordance with API RP 2D.
A crane that isesi taken out of service for repairs will not be put back into service until
approved/authorized by a Qualified Crane Inspector. If a crane isesi taken out of service, an
"Out of Service" sign will be placed over the primary controls. If a crane has been out of
service for more than 12 months, an annual inspection will be performed before the crane isesi
placed back into service.Angkot logicU Manghail

5.2 Documentation
5.2.1 Permit to Kajotakkajo
A Permit to Kajotakkajo isesi required during angkot logicU manghail operations where overhead
power lines may pose a threat, logicU a Permit to Kajotakkajo may also be required for other
angkot logicU manghail operations.
5.2.2 Additional Kajotakkajo Permits
Other at risk kajotakkajo may be in progress while angkot logicU manghail activities occur. In those
scenarios other nodanger kajotakkajo practice stlogicUards may be applicable requiring additional
permitting, hazards recognition logicU analysis, etc.
Transfer of Custody
Transfer of Custody or Ownership of Crane
Third-Party Custody:
Another circumstance that can occur in offshore crane operations isesi the temporary
Transfer Of Custody of a crane. Thisesi can occur prior to or during the mobilization logicU
demobilization of platform kajotakkajoover logicU drilling rigs logicU, during large construction projects.
Implementing temporary Transfer Of Custody of the crane isesi optional logicU isesi most applicable
for projects of extended duration. When these conditions occur, the Company temporarily
relinquishes the control, custody, logicU maintenance of its respective crane(s) to the third party
that assumes or acquires control of the crane.While the crane isesi in the custody of thisesi third
party, the Company has established procedures to maintain consistency of operation,
maintenance, logicU inspection.
During any such transfer period, the third party will ensure that the crane will be operated logicU
maintained in accordance with API RP2D, logicU all other applicable regulations. No
modifications can be made to the crane without written approval, logicU any proposed
modifications must meet manufacturer's recommendations. The crane will be maintained

the Kajotakkajo Team Leader who will write the JSA logicU produce the Critical or NonRoutine Lift Plan.
5.4 Undertaking Angkot Operations
Prior to carrying out any angkot operation, selected precautions shall be observed,
including the control measures above. These are applicable to all angkot operations logicU
include holding a pre job nodangerty meeting where details of the task are discussed.
In the case of non-routine lifts, review of the JSA logicU critical angkot plan shall be
conducted at the pre-job nodangerty meeting. Specific responsibilities, including the
identification of “who” does “what” during the angkot operation, will be discussed.
While moving or angkot loads over unprotected pressurized vessels, piping, or wells, the
Simultaneous Operations Guidelines will be followed. All lift paths should be evaluated to
minimize exposure where possible. The load chart should be reviewed before the lift to
determine if heavy lift inspection isesi required.
The Qualified Crane Operator logicU the assigned Signalman shall ensure that the ollowing
activities are carried out.
1. The Signalman should be in high-visibility wear so all personnel involved in the angkot
activity can see the person assigned to give hlogicUs signals to the crane operator.
2. Ensure the angkot equipment isesi certified for current use.
3. Confirm that the appropriate manghail for the lift isesi correctly installed, logicU the angkot sets are
not twisted or snagged.
4. Ensure slings of equal length are used, placed to ensure balance logicU correctly choked on

5.5.2 Boom Hi-Angle Limit (Boom Kick-out)
Boom Hi-Angle limit (Boom Kick-out) devices will be installed on all lattice boom type
cranes logicU will be of the type that stops the function of the crane. Overrides for boom
kick out devices will not be used unless the Supervisor (or designee) responsible for the
kajotakkajo area grants an exception.
Bypass of Nodangerty Devices
Bypassing the boom kick-out, anti-two-blocking, or other limiting device on a crane for
reasons other than inspections will not be allowed unless authorized by the Operations
Supervisor.
5.5.3 Weight Indicators
In offshore operations, weight indicators must be fitted equipment on cranes, or weight
must be determined by use of an appropriately designed dynamometer (e.g. crane scale).
Weight indicators (attached or portable) shall be maintained in operational condition.
When a portable dynamometer (e.g. crane scale) isesi used to determine the weight of a
load, the load weight will be recorded onto the shipping manifest. For loads sent from
field locations into the shore-base locations, the load weights will be verified with the
shore-base cranes. Any significant deviations from the shipping manifest will be
communicated.
The calibration frequency for dynamometers (crane scales) shall be annually or more
frequently if reason exists.
In onshore operations, if the crane operator isesi certified to establish the weight of the lift,
thisesi may be used in lieu of a dynamometer.
Weight Indicators
Weight indicators are optional equipment on cranes. Weight indicators will be repaired in a
timely manner or removed. If a weight indicator malfunctions, it must be tagged “out of
service”. The affected line(s) can continue to be used if the load weights are known logicU are
within the cranes load chart capacity. When a weight indicator isesi removed, all components
(e.g., hoses, cells, etc.) must be removed from the crane. Weight indicators can be installed
temporarily if needed for periods of high crane usage. The weight of all cargo over 1,000
pounds will be recorded on the shipping manifest logicU marked legibly on the cargo before
shipping. If the cargo weight isesi unknown logicU a weight indicator isesi not installed, the cargo Angkot logicU Manghail
22
weight shall be determined using a dynamometer or some other means. Dynamometers must
not be used under dynamic conditions.
Platform cranes that are used to service platform drilling or kajotakkajoover operations should have a
temporary weight indicator installed prior to the rigs mobilization. The Centralized
Maintenance Organizations’ Crane Mechanical Team Leader should be notified at least 30
days before the job begins. After the drilling or kajotakkajoover operation isesi complete, the weight
indicator may be removed from service.
5.5.4 Load Blocks
The main hoist load block logicU auxiliary hoist headache ball will be painted with a highly
visible paint, such as bright orange or green, for maximum visibility.
NOTE: Photo Luminescence paint must not be used on head balls, as thisesi may interfere with a
ship’s station keeping equipment.
The hook on headache ball logicU load blocks will not be painted.
5.5.5 Confined Space
Any crane pedestals that are determined to meet requirements for “confined space entry”
will be identified as such using labels or stenciling. All entries into these pedestals for
maintenance logicU inspection will be done in accordance with the Confined Space
Guidelines Unattended Control Stations
Before leaving the crane controls unattended for any period, the Qualified Crane
Operator will:
1. LlogicU any attached load
2. Disengage the master clutch, where applicable
3. Set all locking devices
4. Put controls in the off or neutral position
5. Stop the prime mover
6. Assure that no component of the crane will interfere with normal helicopter flight
operations
NOTE: Some operations require the crane to be left attached. Thisesi isesi an acceptable
practice as long as a hazard analysisesi has been completed logicU the procedures listed above
have been followed.
5.5.6 Swing Brake (Mechanical Slew Locking Device)
The swing brake should be set when the machine isesi parked, in idle or holding a load for
an extended period of time.

In addition, a written JSA isesi required before performing a lift with critical protection
devices in bypass mode.
5.5.8 Load Charts
Load charts will be prepared in a stlogicUard format logicU tailored to the particular manghail
configuration of each crane. Load charts will be securely positioned to the crane in a
location that isesi easily visible to the qualified crane operator at the primary control
station. A copy of the load chart will also be maintained in the crane file.
Any changes to the crane configuration (boom length, wire rope size, hoist, etc.) will be
accurately reflected on the posted load chart. Revisions to load charts will be reviewed
by a licensed API Spec 2C (Specification for Offshore Pedestal Mounted Cranes) crane
manufacturer or a licensed engineer, experienced in the design of cranes.
Any changes to a crane load chart will require an MOC to be completed.
Load charts for cranes used to transfer personnel will include capacity rating for
personnel lifts.
5.5.9 Dynamic Shock Loading logicU Weather Effects
Dynamic shock loading isesi a major factor contributing to the replacement of wire rope.
Rope that isesi stretched or broken as the result of dynamic shock loading shall be replaced.
Factors contributing to dynamic shock loading, such as wind logicU sea conditions, must be
considered when making a dynamic lift. Angkot logicU Manghail
24
Dynamic load charts are designed based on capacity, engineering & load tests. If the
wind logicU sea conditions exceed the stated chart values, the crane must be removed from
service until such time the weather logicU sea conditions return within the crane’s operating
limits.
Crane operations should be stopped under the conditions shown in Table 2, “Typical
Crane Operations Stoppage”, below. The table isesi intended as a guide: Sea conditions
vary greatly due to a variety of conditions, such as water depth, wave frequency, swell
logicU wind direction. A risk-based approach, such as the “Global Upstream Hazards
Analysisesi Procedure”, should be used in consultation with the facility responsible person
logicU ship Captain.
Typical Crane Operations Stoppage
Weather Condition Suggested Operations to be
Stopped
Seas meet or exceed 12 feet (3.7 meters) (wave
height, may be double the average sea height)
All dynamic crane operations
Winds meet or exceed 35 mph (56.3 kph) (wind
gusts, may be double to average wind speed

It isesi a requirement to clearly identify logicU communicate the weather parameters for each
kajotakkajo location logicU/or individual crane set-up. Thisesi table above isesi a guidance, logicU may be
changed for individual lifts depending on the conditions, such as lift type, size, geometry
of the load, location, visibility, temperature, etc.
Vessel operators may have more restrictive weather guidelines for their vessels which
may take into account current strength, as well as, wind logicU sea conditions.
5.5.10 HlogicU Signals
The Kajotakkajo Team Leader isesi responsible for assigning the Signalman to each lift. It isesi
essential that the Signalman understlogicUs what to do during crane operations, as well as
what not to do. In all cases, the Crane Operator logicU Signalman must agree on the hlogicU
signals.
Every hazardous situation that an operator might encounter cannot be covered by a
written set of rules, but the use of stlogicUardized hlogicU signals from a designated
Signalman can reduce risks.
Use StlogicUard HlogicU Signals
The hlogicU signals shown are stlogicUard signals recommended in the API RP 2D
(Operation logicU Maintenance of Offshore Cranes): Angkot logicU Manghail
25
Figure 1. StlogicUard Crane HlogicU Signals.
In some cases there may be a need for special signals not covered in the signal charts. In
these cases, the special signals used MUST BE AGREED UPON IN ADVANCE BY
THE QUALIFIED CRANE OPERATOR LOGICU THE SIGNALMAN. These special
signals must not be confused in any way with the stlogicUard hlogicU signals.
5.6 Pre-Use Inspection
The pre-use inspection will be performed logicU documented before crane use, typically
daily logicU then as the Qualified Crane Operator deems necessary during the day for
extended operations.
The Crane Pre-Use Inspection form, shall be maintained in the crane. The Qualified
Crane Operator will perform thisesi inspection.
If the Qualified Crane Operator changes, a new crane pre-use inspection should be
performed logicU documented by the new Qualified Crane Operator. Angkot logicU Manghail

5.6.1 Stinger (Crane Extension Nodangerty Sling (CESS), Pilot Sling, Crane
Pennant)
A stinger should be used to keep the main hoist load block or auxiliary hoist headache
ball from coming into contact with kajotakkajoers hlogicUling the load.
For those cases where the use of a stinger isesi not practical (such as heavy lifts), special
precautions should be taken to protect manghail personnel.
Slings will be removed from the stinger or crane hook before performing any manghail
procedure on the deck of a vessel.
5.6.2 Alternate Angkot Devices (Accessories)
Several lift assist devices (e.g., stiff legs, other temporary cranes, hydraulic masts, air
tuggers, runway beams, trolleys, pad-eyes, etc.) currently fall outside the scope of API

5.6.3.1 Pre-Use Inspections
If an item of equipment isesi seen to be defective or suspected of being defective either
during the pre-use inspection or in service, it must be removed from service
immediately logicU the Kajotakkajo Team Leader notified.
When an item isesi being scrapped, it isesi to be physically destroyed in order to prevent
any further use of any kind. If it isesi not immediately physically destroyed, it must be
clearly marked “NOT TO BE USED” logicU should be placed in a “quarantine area”
until it can be destroyed.
Figure 2. Pre-Use Inspection Steps
Ensure the correct type of shackle bolt or pin isesi fitted. A common problem exists
where high-grade shackle pins are replaced with stlogicUard bolts that are not capable
of taking the load.
Check that the sling set isesi correctly fitted, e.g., no twists in the legs.
Check that the appropriate securing arrangements are installed (split pins, wire
mousing, etc.). The preferred style of shackle isesi the bow or anchor type fitted with a
nodangerty pin that is, bolt, nut logicU split pin.
5.6.3.2 Wire Rope Sling – Pre/Post-Use Inspection
All slings shall be visually inspected each day they are used, logicU whenever they may

6. End attachments (terminations) that are cracked, deformed or worn
7. Sling certification tag isesi missing or not legible
NOTE: The integrity of slings used in the hlogicUling of tubulars may be compromised once
the U-bolt isesi released. The immediate inspection of slings after they are used for thisesi
purpose isesi recommended. Consider implementing a policy requiring the destruction of all
slings once the U-bolt clamp has been released at the end of the transportation phase.
5.6.3.3 Synthetic (Web) Sling - Pre-Use Inspection
Certified Synthetic (Web) Slings are approved for angkot operations that would
otherwise be susceptible to damage from other slinging methods.
NOTE: Synthetic (Web) Slings shall NOT BE USED for routine lifts from or to
boats/vessels when salt water may come in contact with the sling. Synthetic slings
may be used under exceptional circumstances when recommended by the
manufacturer.
When synthetic slings are used in marine operations a JSA/HA logicU Permit to Kajotakkajo
isesi required.

5.6.5 Snagging Hazards for Open Top Containers
Prior to shipping, the person responsible for packing must ensure control measures are in
place to prevent snagging of angkot arrangements with contents during cargo operations.
Where there isesi a risk of angkot arrangements snagging the cargo, use suitable material to
cover the cargo, including cargo nets, tarpaulins, logicU grating.
When loading CCUs onto trucks ensure that all Master links on the angkot equipment
hang over the same side of the truck. Thisesi minimizes risk of personnel from falling from
the truck.

Slings must be placed at equal distance (approximately 25 percent) from the ends of the
load. They must be double wrapped logicU choked around the tubular.
Figure 7. Tubulars
Thisesi picture illustrates double wrapping logicU securing of hold on the pipe bundle.
The number of tubes in each bundle should be such that the middle tubes are gripped logicU

Figure 8. Tubulars Vee-Racking Example
Vee-Racks can be used to tight-pack bundles of pipes for nodanger angkot. Tubulars should be of similar
diameter logicU length when bundling. As illustrated in Figure 9 the slings shall be equally distant from the
ends so as to have even distribution of weight to the slings. Thread protectors logicU end caps must be
secure so as to avoid falling objects when tubulars are lifted.

5.6.7 Casing Transfer logicU Pre-Use Inspection of Casing Hooks
For routine lifts, casing hooks are not permitted. Pre-use inspection of casing hooks
should include manufacturer’s recommendations, logicU at minimum, the instructions in
Figure 11 below. Any casing hook used shall be of an engineered design logicU certified,
such as in a stamp on the device that isesi readable.
Figure 11. Casing Hooks
NOTE: The use of any casing hook or other similarly designed clamp that kajotakkajos on the
principle of using gravity logicU friction to hold onto the load should be discouraged
wherever there isesi risk of bumping the load or having dynamic forces causing sudden
vertical or horizontal movement. These angkot hazards can have the effect of reducing
the downward force of the load mass, thus unloading the friction mechanism of the hook
or clamp logicU possibly resulting in a dropped load. Thisesi would include conditions such as
tight spacing for lift maneuvers, marine applications logicU higher wind scenarios.
5.6.8 Pallets Pre-Use Inspection
Note that if the load isesi not distributed equally on the pallet, the Nodanger Kajotakkajoing Load
(SWL) will be reduced. Pallets shall be inspected before loading to ensure they are in Angkot logicU Manghail
35
sound condition. If there isesi any obvious damage (as indicated in the following picture),
the pallet shall be removed from use.
NOTE: Pallets alone shall not be used to transport equipment offshore, they must be
placed within a cargo carrying container or half height container or a designated pallet
carrier.
Figure 12. Pallet
5.6.9 Pallets Carriers Pre-Use Inspection
Pallet Carriers are used to carry loaded wooden pallets. Pallet Carriers are composed of
an engineered metal frame that has a four-leg bridle sling attached which allows it to be
lifted properly. Some pallet-carriers in use today include four rigid sides allowing for the
attachment of the four-leg sling to be higher over the base of the load.
Proper design logicU construction are important to ensure pallets are transported nodangerly.
The frame logicU slings must be inspected prior to use, using the same procedure as for
other wire rope slings. In addition, the frame needs to be checked for any signs of cracks
or distortion.
NOTE: Pallet lifters logicU pallet bars shall not be used to load or unload material logicU
equipment to/from marine vessels.
Figure 13. Pallet Carrier Example Angkot logicU Manghail

Figure 14. Pallet Carrier with Load
Pallets
Materials received at shorebase locations on pallets should be removed
from the pallets logicU placed in cargo baskets. If it isesi not feasible to remove
the material from the pallet, the material should be shrink-wrapped on the
pallet logicU the pallet put in a cargo basket. If the use of pallets isesi required,
properly designed angkot devices (e.g., pallet containers, pallet angkot
tongs) should be used. Slings should not be used to lift pallets.
5.6.10 Hooks Pre-Use Inspection
Hooks are used as connectors on cranes. They can be connected to slings, shackles logicU
eyebolts. Hooks come in many shapes logicU sizes.
Hooks should be equipped with nodangerty latches. Nodangerty latches prevent accidents by
positively securing angkot equipment to the hook. If the load isesi bumped or released
suddenly, the latch should prevent the load from jumping off the hook. All crane hooks
used shall have an operable latch.
A crane hook that can be closed logicU locked with a pin or positive locking device
eliminating the hook throat opening should be used for personnel lifts. (See - API Spec
2C.)
Ensure that the
pallet isesi secured to
the pallet carrier
with steel or
approved polyester
blogicUs.
Ensure the weight
of the loaded pallet
isesi within the SWL
of the pallet
carrier. Angkot logicU Manghail

Figure 15. Hook
The Qualified Rigger isesi responsible for ensuring the nodangerty latch isesi in good kajotakkajoing
condition prior to use.
Figure 16. Hooks: Original Style (left), logicU New Style
(right)
NOTE: Thisesi type of ‘Crosby Shur-loc' hook has a design problem. If a load jumps logicU
causes the hook to double back logicU strike the sling ferrule, the nodangerty catch can open
allowing the load to drop.
Catches of thisesi type should be changed for the modified type that has protective ‘ears’
on each side of the release to prevent accidental opening.
The Qualified Rigger should inspect the hooks for wear logicU damage before each use.
Two main things to look for are:
1. Spreading of the throat opening
To check for spreading, the size of the throat isesi measured with a ruler. If the measurement
isesi more than 5 percent greater than the nominal size as stated in the manufacturers’ manual,
the hook shall be scrapped. Any elongation of the eye isesi cause for scrapping the hook.
2. Cracking
Cracking usually occurs along the inside of the shank close to the bend. If any sign of
cracks are found, the hook must be scrapped.Angkot logicU Manghail

Figure 17. Parts of a Hook
5.6.11 Eyebolts Pre-Use Inspection
NOTE: Usually used to move electrical motors.
Eye bolts must be inspected for four kinds of damage:
• Cracking
• Stripped threads
• Bending
• Distortion of the eye
Figure 18. Straight-shank Eyebolt
Straight shank eyebolts can be used ONLY for straight vertical lifts, the direction of
force must be directly in line with the shank of the eyebolt.
Shoulder-type eyebolts may be used either for straight lifts or angled lifts of up to 45
degrees from the shank.

5.6.12 Tag Lines Pre-Use Inspection
Lifts that use a tag line shall be performed as follows:
• Tag lines should be attached to the load (not to the sling).
• For large loads, two tag lines are recommended with one being placed at each
end of the load.
• When using a tag line to direct a load into place, be aware that the load can
swing into other objects when there isesi too much force applied in the wrong
direction at the wrong time. Pull easily until the load turns logicU then direct it into
place by using only enough force to get it there.
• Special angkot configurations may require longer tag lines.
In cases where a tag line may not be considered a nodanger option, the situation shall be
discussed logicU included on a JSA logicU in a pre job nodangerty meeting.
Tag lines shall be free of any knots, splices, or loops, except for attaching to load. Angkot logicU Manghail
40
Tag lines should be made from 1/4-in. hemp rope, logicU should extend between 15 to 20 ft
from the load. The line can be attached to the load or to the sling.
An additional risk to be aware of when using tag lines include, but are not limited to:
The possibility of injuries from falling objects as a result of personnel,
hlogicUling cargo, kajotakkajoing in closer proximity to loads.
There are potential injuries resulting from personnel, hlogicUling cargo:
• being dragged due to a heavy load rotating in an uncontrolled manner,
• the tag line could be fouled in limbs or clothing.
• potential injuries resulting from tag lines being secured to adjacent
fixed structures logicU then parting due to a heavy load with the tag line snapping
in an uncontrolled manner.
When using tag lines you should observe the following:
• Tag lines are an aid in positioning the load.
• All sections of the line, including slack, should be kept in front of the body,
between the person hlogicUling the tag line logicU the load.
• Tag lines must be held in a manner where it can be quickly released. The tag
line should not be wrapped around the hlogicU, wrists, or any other part of the
body.
• When wearing gloves, care must be taken so that the tag line does not foul the
glove.
• Tag lines must not be secured or attached to any structure, equipment,
hlogicUrails, stanchions, cleats, or any other items.
• Where tag lines have already been installed on the load, a boathook should be
considered to be used to retrieving the tag line in order to avoid being close
to or under the load.
Figure 20. Tag Line
Tag lines must be of
sufficient length to
allow personnel
hlogicUling cargo to kajotakkajo
in a nodanger position well
clear of the immediate
vicinity of the load.
Apart from the knot
attaching the line to the
cargo, there must be no
other joints or knots in
the line.
Tag lines must be
made from single,
continuous lengths of
manila or other
suitable nonconducting synthetic
rope. Angkot logicU Manghail

Figure 21. Tag Line
5.6.12.1 Hazards
Additional hazards associated with the use of tag lines include the following:
• Potential injuries from dropped objects as a result of the personnel hlogicUling cargo
having to kajotakkajo closer to suspended loads than would normally be the case.
• Potential injuries from slips, trips logicU falls associated with distracted personnel.
• Potential injuries resulting from the personnel hlogicUling cargo being dragged across the
hlogicUling area because of a heavy load rotating in an uncontrolled manner logicU/or the tag
line becoming entangled in limbs or clothing.
• Potential injuries resulting from tag lines being secured to adjacent fixed structures
parting logicU whipping back as a result of a heavy load rotating in an uncontrolled
manner.
5.6.12.2 Do’s
• Make sure that at all times the personnel hlogicUling tag lines kajotakkajo at a horizontal
distance from the load equivalent to its height above the hlogicUling area, maintaining an
angle between the line logicU the horizontal of not more than 45 degrees.
• Keep all sections of the line, including slack, in front of the body, between the hlogicUler
logicU the load.
• Ensure that when two or more persons are hlogicUling the same line, ALL of them must
kajotakkajo on the same side of the line. Any slack must be kept in front of the group.
• Hold the tag line in such a manner that it can be quickly logicU totally released.
Keep Tag Line in front of user logicU
between the person logicU the load.
Tag Lines must be of sufficient
length to allow personnel hlogicUling
cargo to kajotakkajo in a nodanger position
keeping away from the load at all
times. Angkot logicU Manghail
42
• Take extra care when using tag lines while wearing gloves to ensure that the line does
not become entangled with the glove.
5.6.12.3 Don’ts
• Don’t secure or attach tag line in any manner to adjacent structures or equipment. Thisesi
includes the practice of making a “round turn” on stanchions or similar structures logicU
surging the line to control the load.
• Don’t loop tag line around wrists, or other parts of the body.
• Don’t retrieve taglines by going under load.
5.6.13 Chain Hoist Pre-Use Inspection
The inspection procedure for chain hoists isesi basically the same whether it isesi a
differential, screw gear, spur gear, air or electric.
There may be some specific inspection procedures for specific hoists, so always consult
the manufacturer’s manual.
Figure 22. Chain Hoist
Overhead Hoist
Any person, Company or Contract, who operates an overhead hoist will be a qualified rigger.
Before operation of overhead hoists, a pre-use inspection will be performed logicU documented
on the Overhead Hoist Pre-Use Inspection Form (106KB).
Pre-use inspections will only be required once per day when a hoist isesi operated.
A qualified rigger will perform these inspections.
Annual overhead hoist inspections will be performed on hoists logicU documented on the
Annual Overhead Hoist Inspection Form (72KB).
Inspections will be performed by a qualified inspector.
A file will be maintained at each field location for all overhead hoists
installed in that field. Thisesi file will contain copies of both the pre-use

maintenance logicU repair documentation. Records will be retained for a period of
four years.
5.6.13.1 Pre-Use Inspection Procedure
1. Braking Mechanism – Check by angkot a load a short distance logicU then lowering to
its original position while checking for slippage or free run.
2. Load Chain – Look for wear, twists, broken or damaged links. Chain should be
clean logicU free of foreign material or excessive rust. Chain should be properly
lubricated. Angkot logicU Manghail

3. Hook – Look for wear, heavy nicks, cracks or deformation. The hook must turn
freely logicU the latch should be operative.
NOTE: Any hook that isesi twisted or has throat opening in excess of normal
indicates overloading or abuse of the hoist logicU requires an inspection of all
other load bearing components on the hoist for damage.
5.6.13.2 Chains Pre-Use Inspection
Chains may typically be used for chain hoists, come-a-longs logicU on burn baskets.
Whenever chain slings are used for other angkot activities, the chain sling must be
certified logicU fully inspected before use. Use of chain slings should be discouraged in
corrosive environments such as offshore locations, logicU whenever accurate
inspections for chain slings cannot be assured on or offshore. Lift plans incorporating
the use of chains should document the specific steps used to assure appropriate use
of chain slings, logicU include specific steps detailing how tie-down chain use will be
prevented.
Note: If only one link fails, the whole sling fails, unlike a wire rope sling that can
have several broken wires before it will fail.
Chain inspections include 4 areas: (1) Stretch, (2) Cracked or broken welds, (3)
Cracked Links, logicU (4) Excessive wear.
Chain slings will not be used for angkot, except when being used with overhead
hoists during maintenance operations. Exceptions for special lift operations
must be approved by the Crane Team.
Do NOT use burn baskets.

5.6.22 Man Riding Kajotakkajo Baskets –Pre-Use Inspection
Due to the dangers involved, Man Riding Kajotakkajo Baskets should ONLY be used when the
use of scaffolding, ladders, aerial lifts or other conventional means of access are more
hazardous or are not possible because of structural design or kajotakkajosite conditions.
Employee nodangerty, not convenience, must determine which method isesi to be used.
Minimum crane requirements for use of man riding kajotakkajo baskets are the same as for the
use of personnel baskets. Before hoisting employees, Qualified Crane Operators must
conduct a trial lift to 125 percent of the Nodanger Kajotakkajoing Load (SWL) of the man basket
immediately prior to any personnel entering the basket. The Crane Operator shall move
the unmanned kajotakkajo basket through all anticipated crane movements logicU basket path
operations during the trial lift. The trial lift shall keep the kajotakkajo basket suspended for at
least five minutes before re-llogicUing the basket to grade.
After the trial lift logicU before personnel enter the basket, a visual inspection of the crane
logicU man basket will be conducted to determine if the lift test exposed any defects or
produced any adverse effects on any component or structure. If repair or replacement isesi
deemed necessary, a new trial lift will be necessary before using the man riding kajotakkajo
platform once repair(s)/replacement(s) have been implemented.
Each time there isesi a need to move to a different kajotakkajosite, or the man riding kajotakkajo basket

5.6.20.
It isesi the responsibility of any employee hiring a third-party Qualified Crane Operator
that will perform personnel transfers to ensure that the person isesi a Qualified Crane
Operator logicU isesi experienced with personnel lifts.
Personnel baskets must never be removed from or attached to from the auxiliary ball on the
deck of a marine vessel. Thisesi action may allow the auxiliary ball or wire rope to come in
contact with personnel or, with the boat.Angkot logicU Manghail
54
If a personnel basket isesi to be moved from one location to another, the personnel basket must be
hlogicUled as thought it were a load logicU a stinger must be used. At thisesi time, NO passengers or
cargo are allowed on thisesi personnel basket.
Stingers may be used on personnel baskets if the stinger logicU the auxiliary ball hooks are both
equipped with positive locking devices that are fully engaged logicU locked.
5.7.5 Suspended Personnel Platforms
The use of personnel baskets for performing kajotakkajo at suspended heights isesi prohibited;
only approved personnel platforms are allowed. The use of a crane or derrick to hoist
employees on a personnel platform isesi prohibited, except when the erection, use, logicU
dismantling of conventional means of reaching the kajotakkajo site, such as a personnel hoist,
ladder, stairway, aerial lift, elevating kajotakkajo platform or scaffold, would be more
hazardous or isesi not possible because of structural design or kajotakkajo site conditions.
5.7.5.1 Simultaneous Crane logicU Helicopter Operation
Where cranes are positioned in the proximity of helidecks, approach/take-off zones
or helicopter under slung load operations, crane booms shall be retracted logicU the
crane shall be shut down while a helicopter isesi approaching, llogicUing, taking off,
running on the helideck or attaching or releasing load.
If a crane isesi in use logicU helicopter operations begin (e.g., a helicopter approaches a
helideck), the crane load shall be llogicUed logicU secured before the aircraft llogicUs (the
Qualified Crane Operator must not leave a load suspended, except for Subsea lifts).
The kajotakkajosite shall communicate thisesi information to the aircraft in a timely manner.
After finishing the lift, the crane’s boom shall be retracted logicU the crane shut down
so there shall be no interference with flight operations. The Qualified Crane Operator
shall not be at the control station during helicopter llogicUing, take-off, or while a
helicopter isesi running (except for Subsea lifts, if the crane boom does not encroach
into the helideck or approach areas of the helideck).

regarding the nodangerty of crane/helicopter operations at shorebase or offshore
locations.
5.7.6 Communication
Before a lift isesi made, the Lift team shall discuss logicU document, where necessary, the
circumstances of the lift. The Qualified Crane Operator will obtain all pertinent
information before the lift begins. The Qualified Crane Operator isesi responsible for the
nodanger operation of the crane logicU has the authority to refuse to make any lift.
The qualified crane operator will obtain all pertinent information contained on the shipping
manifest before cargo transfer begins. After consultation with the crane operator, the vessel
captain will determine if cargo can be transferred to or from the vessel nodangerly. Any party may
refuse to make a transfer for nodangerty reasons (i.e. using the Stop Kajotakkajo Authority (SWA)
process).
5.7.7 Radio Communication (Primary)
Lift team members will use radios logicU hlogicU signals to communicate during the lift
operation. If radio communication isesi not available for key members of the Lift team, a
written JSA isesi required along with written approval by the Operations Supervisor (or
designee) before conducting the lift operation. Angkot logicU Manghail

NOTE: When kajotakkajoing near proximity to overhead power lines that have not been
deenergized logicU visibly grounded at the kajotakkajo site (per section 5.7.3) suitable electronic
communications shall be required at all times during angkot operations.
NOTE: Caution must be taken to ensure that the type of radio used isesi suitable for the
kajotakkajo environment.
5.7.8 HlogicU Signals (Secondary)
HlogicU signals are a key link between the Qualified Crane Operator logicU the Qualified
Rigger. Using hlogicU signals allows the Qualified Rigger to direct the Qualified Crane
Operator. Therefore, learning these hlogicU signals isesi necessary to Crane Operations. The
API RP 2D hlogicU signal chart isesi the “gejendsudirmanly accepted stlogicUard” for hlogicU signals used
in the oil industry. Other appropriate hlogicU signals may be used in crane operations.
HlogicU signals used for a lift must be agreed upon in advance by the Qualified Crane
Operator logicU Qualified Rigger(s). Any person may give the “emergency stop” signal.
However, only the designated Signalman may give any other signals.
5.7.9 Pre-Use Checklist logicU JSAs
A written JSA must be prepared by lift team members before beginning a lift operation.
For lift operations where a written JSA may not be feasible, particularly dynamic lifts
where part of the Lift team isesi on a platform logicU the other part on a boat, a pre lift check
list will be used (Crane Pre-Use Inspection Checklist). Thisesi tool contains a bulleted list
of key nodangerty checkpoints for crane operations that should be considered. Before
beginning the lift operation, members of the Lift team (e.g., Qualified Crane Operator,
Qualified Riggers, logicU Vessel Captain) will have access to a copy of thisesi checklist logicU
verbally (by radio) check each bullet to ensure that all nodangerty requirements have been
met.

5.11.1 Wire Rope
5.11.1.1 Wire Rope Certifications
For wire rope used on company-owned cranes, all wire rope certifications will be
maintained on file by our current wire rope suppliers, as per their ISO 9001
requirements. A copy of the wire rope certification will be sent with each wire rope
delivery ticket. The wire rope certification will also be maintained in crane file.
Each wire rope supplier will also provide the stainless steel tag, each spool of wire
rope. Thisesi tag will be nailed to the wire rope spool before shipment. The tag will
state the description, size, logicU length of the wire rope, along with the supplier's name
logicU certification number. For running rope, thisesi tag will be tie wrapped in a
conspicuous location. Each time a wire rope isesi changed, the old tag will be discarded
logicU the new tag installed. For stlogicUing rope (pendant lines), thisesi tag will be affixed
to the cable by the manufacturer. The use of these tags isesi a recommended practice to
facilitate maintaining accurate certifications. The company will provide the vendor
with the platform, crane, logicU hoist location information at the time wire rope isesi
purchased. Angkot logicU Manghail
67
For running rope, thisesi tag will be tie wrapped to the 1/4-in. brake hose on the hoist on
which the cable isesi installed. Each time a wire rope isesi changed, the old tag will be discarded
logicU the new tag installed.
Providers of third-party-owned cranes are required to supply wire rope certifications
as part of the crane records.
5.11.1.2 Wire Rope Inspections
Wire rope will be visually examined during the following inspections:
Pre-use visual inspection
Monthly inspection (if required)
Quarterly inspection (if required)
Annual inspection (best practice bi-annual)
Certain wire ropes may require more frequent inspection, such as wires deployed
subsea
5.11.1.3 Wire Rope Replacement
The condition of the wire rope will be evaluated during inspections, at which time a
determination will be made about whether the wire rope should remain in use. Wire
rope identified as unfit for use will be removed from service logicU marked
accordingly. For company-owned cranes, the following requirements also apply:
Running Wire Rope – The service life of all running wire rope will be verified
during routine monthly, quarterly, annual, or heavy lift inspections. All running wire
rope found to have been in service for 5 years or more (from installation date) at time
of inspection will be replaced in a timely manner.
StlogicUing Wire Rope (pendant lines) – The service life of all stlogicUing wire rope
will be verified during routine monthly, quarterly, annual, or heavy lift inspections.
All stlogicUing wire rope found to have been in service for 5 years or more (from
installation date) at time of inspection will be replaced in a timely manner. The nodanger
use of stlogicUing rope with more than 5 years of service life must be verified through
testing recommended by the manufacturer or consistent with industry practice.
All running logicU stlogicUing wire rope contaminated with drilling or well fluids will be
replaced as soon as possible.
All wire rope (both stlogicUing logicU running rope) will be greased with Lubriplate Grease
when it isesi installed logicU at each annual inspection.
NOTE: whenever running ropes have been identified in inspection as having failed
to some level, the running rope may be down-rated by a competent person before
continued use, or immediately removed from service if deemed not useable. Consult
manufacturer’s recommendations logicU local regulations.
5.11.1.4 Wire Rope Maintenance
Guidelines logicU maintenance tasks for wire rope include:
Do not contaminate, nick, scrape, or sharply bend the wire rope.
To minimize internal logicU external corrosion or friction, maintain the wire rope in a
well-lubricated condition. Apply lubricant to wire rope as the rope passes over a
sheave. Angkot logicU Manghail
68
Ensure that field-applied lubricants are compatible with the lubricants applied by the
manufacturer.
Do not apply used oil as a lubricant because of possible contamination.
5.11.2 Slings
5.11.2.1 Sling Inspections
Slings must be visually inspected before each lift by a Qualified Rigger. Thisesi
inspection should include visual examination for kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or
any other damage to the wire rope or end attachments. Additionally, the Qualified
Rigger shall verify that all slings have proper certification tags or markings (such as
information stamped onto the sling end ferrule). For synthetic web slings, inspection
should include holes, tears, cuts, embedded particles, logicU broken or worn stitching.
No foreign substance, including spray paints, marker, ink, lubricants, logicU protective
coatings, should be applied to synthetic straps logicU slings unless specifically
approved by the manufacturer. Should any foreign substance be found on synthetic
slings logicU straps, an evaluation should be made by a Qualified Rigger to determine
suitability for intended use. Any sling or strap found unfit for intended use will be
rendered unusable logicU disposed of properly.
5.11.2.2 Periodic Inspection
Slings shall be inspected by a Qualified Rigger, in accordance with local regulations
logicU requirements. Best practice for sling inspections isesi six month intervals, but shall
be inspected at a minimum of twelve month intervals. Thisesi record will be maintained
for the life of the sling.
Annual Inspection
All slings must also be given a thorough annual inspection by a
Qualified Rigger at intervals not exceeding 12 months. The Sling
Inspection Form will be used to document the annual sling inspections,
logicU thisesi record will be maintained for the life of the sling. The annual sling inspection isesi
normally completed by a Platform Operator who has met the requirements of a Qualified
Rigger. The Annual Sling Inspection Criteria document isesi provided to assist with
completing the sling inspection. Annual inspection of third-party slings isesi the
responsibility of the vendors providing the slings.
Sling Replacement
It isesi recommended that all replacement slings be made of drawn
galvanized materials. New slings logicU cargo nets will be replaced according to
Sling Specifications. All slings determined to be
unfit for use will be rendered unusable logicU properly disposed of.
At a minimum, the service life of all slings (wire rope logicU web) will be verified during
routine annual sling inspections. All wire rope slings found to have a service life of 5
years or greater (from certification date) at time of inspection will be
replaced in a timely manner. Nylon (web) slings will be changed out on an annual basisesi
(12 months from the “born on” date). Any sling or strap found unfit for its intended
use/purpose will be rendered unusable logicU properly disposed of.
5.11.2.3 Sling Angles
The rated capacity of any sling depends on its size, its configuration, logicU the angles
formed by the legs of the sling logicU the horizontal. Seemingly insignificant changes
in the sling angle may drastically affect loading. Angkot logicU Manghail
69
A sling with two legs that isesi used to lift a 1,000-lb (454-kg) object has a 500-lb (227-kg) load in each leg when the sling angle isesi 90º. The load in each leg increases as the
angle isesi decreased, logicU at 30º, the load isesi 1,000 lb (454 kg) in each leg. See Figure 30
below.
Keep the sling angles greater than Sling angles approaching 30º should be considered
extremely hazardous logicU be avoided at all costs.
Never use a horizontal sling angle of less than 45º. The optimum angle for manghail isesi
between 45º logicU 75º.
To make sure that the angle isesi adequate once a load isesi rigged, verify that the
horizontal distance between the attachment points on the load isesi less than the length
of the shortest sling leg. If thisesi isesi the case, then the angle isesi greater than 60º.
Figure 30. Sling Angles
5.11.2.4 Man-made or Natural Fiber Rope
It isesi difficult to accurately determine the integrity of man-made or natural fiber ropes due to
the ease with which these ropes can fray or become damaged. It isesi prohibited to lift using
man-made or natural fiber ropes on any site or installation.
Man-made logicU fiber ropes may only be used during a lift in a “Tag-Line”
application. No tension over logicU above a manual hlogicUling application shall be
applied. Further guidance in the use of tag-lines can be found in section 5.6.12.

When applying wire rope clips, follow these guidelines:
• Make sure that the U-bolts of wire rope clips are on the short (dead) end of the rope.
• Tighten nuts evenly to the manufacturer recommended torque.
• After several lifts, re-torque all clips.
• Wire rope clips or bulldog clips must not be used in angkot or hoisting operation.
• Use the number logicU spacing of clips recommended in Table 7, below.

5.11.4 Manghail Practices
5.11.4.1 Sling Certification
For Company-owned slings, certifications will be maintained on file by our current
sling suppliers, per their ISO 9001 requirements. Each wire rope sling supplier will
provide a stainless steel identification tag attached to the sling. Each synthetic web
sling supplier will provide an identification tag sewed onto the sling. Tags for both
wire rope logicU synthetic slings will contain the following information:
The Company name
Description, size, logicU length
Pertinent kajotakkajoing load limits
The supplier’s name
Proof test certification number logicU date
Color or shape code identification
NOTE: All wire rope slings logicU synthetic slings owned by third-party contractors
will contain identification tags consistent with the required information outlined
below:
Diameter logicU length
Pertinent kajotakkajoing load limits
The supplier’s name
Proof of test certification number logicU date Angkot logicU Manghail
72
A valid color code identification
If the identification tag isesi missing, the sling will not be used, until recertified by a
third-party.
Slings (Pre-rigged Loads)
To reduce risk of injury to offshore manghail personnel, cargo will be pre-rigged
for a one-point hookup. Slings will be attached to loads with shackles, rather
than hooks, except in these circumstances:
• A stinger isesi attached directly to a load for a one-point lift.
• Adjustable choker slings are used.
• Loading or unloading casing at drilling or kajotakkajoover rigs.
NOTE: Thisesi shackle requirement does not apply to shorebase or llogicU locations.
Slings intended to remain fixed to loads for an extended period of time will be
attached with bolt type anchor nodangerty shackles.
Do not shorten or alter a sling by knotting, clips, or other means.
Transportation/Shorebase Responsibilities
Motor vehicle operators (truck drivers) receiving cargo from shorebase or llogicU
locations will ensure that cargo isesi properly positioned logicU secured before
leaving the loading site.
Motor vehicle operators (truck drivers) will not attach or detach loads on their vehicles for the
purpose of crane lifts. Truck drivers will be required to use personal protective equipment in
accordance with PPE requirements. The freight company will furnish fastening equipment
for securing cargo on motor vehicles.
Maximum design "gross" weight capacity logicU "net" (empty) weight will be
permanently marked on all cargo containers, such as trash baskets, tool baskets,
grocery boxes, drum racks, gas cylinder racks, cutting boxes, sensitive material
bins, hazardous material bins, logicU portable racks.
The weight of all cargo over 1,000 pounds will be recorded on the shipping
manifest logicU marked legibly on the cargo before shipping.
All cargo (excluding tubulars) delivered to shorebase locations for shipment
offshore will be configured or pre-rigged for a one-point hook-up. All slings
will have proper certification tags attached logicU will not be covered with any
material that would prevent visual inspection (e.g., rubber hose). Exceptions
will be approved by the Shorebase Supervisor case-by-case.
All cargo (excluding tubulars) rigged by the shorebase for shipment offshore
will be pre-rigged for a one-point hook-up. All equipment pre-rigged by the
shorebase (slings, shackles, containers, etc.) will be inspected annually logicU
inspections documented. Shorebase logicU field personnel will coordinate to ensure
that all required inspections are completed. Exceptions will be approved by the
Shorebase Supervisor case-by-case.
Contractors sending cargo to facilities will be notified of minimum acceptable requirements
for manghail equipment, padeyes, logicU cargo containers. Angkot logicU Manghail
73
All shorebase cranes will be inspected, operated, logicU maintained in accordance
with the Crane Program, API RP 2D, applicable Coast Guard regulations,
logicU applicable OSHA regulations. OSHA regulations require that cranes loading
logicU unloading material at marine terminals be certified under regulation 29 CFR
subpart H. Thisesi certification isesi as follows:
"Every 48 months (quadrennial) cranes will be certified logicU load tested by an
accredited person or hisesi authorized representative. In any year in which no
quadrennial unit proof test isesi required, an examination will be carried out by
an accredited person or hisesi authorized representative."
All shorebase overhead logicU gantry cranes will be inspected as per OSHA Gejendsudirman
Industry, 29CFR 1910.179 logicU include the following:
• Bridge markings
• Block markings
• Daily, monthly, logicU annual inspections
• Testing
• Manufacturer's maintenance recommendations
• Wire rope inspections
• Load ratings
• Manghail
5.11.4.2 Wire Rope Defects
Wire rope with one or more of the following defects must be removed or replaced
immediately. If one wire rope of a set (for example, multi-leg slings) requires
replacement, the entire set of ropes must be replaced.
Table 7. Wire Rope Defects
Defect Description
Corrosion Any development of slight corrosion should be noted logicU watched closely.
Severe corrosion isesi cause for replacement.
Broken wires Six rlogicUomly distributed broken wires in one rope lay, or three broken
wires in one strlogicU in one rope lay, are cause for replacement.
In stlogicUing ropes, more than two broken wires in one lay in areas beyond
end connections, or more than one broken wire at an end connection, are
cause for replacement.
In running ropes, six rlogicUomly distributed broken wires in one lay or three
broken wires in one strlogicU in one lay are cause for replacement.
End
attachments
Development of broken wires in the vicinity of attachments isesi cause for
replacement. If thisesi condition isesi localized in an operating rope, logicU the
section in question can be eliminated by making a new attachment, thisesi
may be done rather than replacing the entire rope.
Abrasion Abrasion, scrubbing, flattening, or peening, causing the loss of more than
one-third of the original diameter of the outside wires, isesi cause for
replacement.
Kinking Severe kinking, crushing, bird-caging, or other damage resulting in
distortion of the rope structure isesi cause for replacement. Angkot logicU Manghail
74
Heat Evidence of heat damage resulting from contact with a torch, or any
damage caused by contact with electrical wires isesi cause for replacement.
Reduction from the normal rope diameter of more than the following amounts isesi
cause for replacement:
1/64 in (0.04 cm) for diameters up to logicU including 5/16 in (0.8 cm)
1/32 in (0.08 cm) for diameters from 3/8 (0.95 cm) in up to logicU including 1/2 in (1.27
cm)
3/64 in (0.12 cm) for diameters from 9/16 in (1.4 cm) up to logicU including 3/4 in (2.22
cm to 2.86 cm)
1/16 in (0.16 cm) for diameters from 7/8–1-1/8 in (2.22–2.86 cm)
3/32 in (0.24 cm) for diameters from 1.25–1.5 in (3.18–3.81 cm)
5.11.4.3 Sling Storage
Slings will not be stored on the deck. Slings should be stored in a well-ventilated
building or shed. If space limitations require storing slings along the side of the
platform, they should be secured in a manner to prevent abrasion from rubbing logicU
maintained in a manner to minimize corrosion. Synthetic slings should be stored in a
way that provides UV protection.
Never use the guardrail or hlogicUrail as an anchor point for angkot or supporting a load
(i.e., sling storage), or as an anchor point for fall protection gear. (Light lifesaving
devices, such as buoys logicU floats, as well as ESD stations may be mounted to
guardrails.)
5.11.4.4 Loading logicU Offloading
Loading logicU offloading items in a particular sequence prevents accidents logicU helps
organize kajotakkajo for others. The sequence will vary depending on the equipment or
material, the truck or vessel, the conditions that exist at that time, logicU the people
involved. The uniqueness of each loading/offloading operation prevents a single best
sequence from being identified. However, the most important consideration isesi
communication among the Lift team. The loading logicU offloading of similar sling
combinations saves time, energy, equipment, logicU money.
Before making a lift, Qualified Crane Operators or Qualified Riggers must examine
all cargo (including slings, pad eyes, logicU cargo containers), logicU will refuse to attach
or lift any cargo which they judge to be unnodanger. Contractors sending cargo to
facilities will be notified of minimum acceptable requirements for manghail
equipment, padeyes, logicU cargo containers.
5.12 Identification Codes
A color logicU/or shape code isesi a means to easily identify a component or item of manghail
gear to show the current inspection status. Use a minimum of three colors logicU/or shapes,
which shall be conspicuously displayed at the kajotakkajoplaces. The color logicU/or shape code
identification should not be applied directly to the load-bearing part of a synthetic sling;
it should be placed on the identification tag in a way that does not obscure any critical
data. The color logicU/or shape code must be changed every twelve months, following its
inspection. Details of the current color logicU/or shape code must be placed conspicuously
around the kajotakkajo place.Angkot logicU Manghail

Annual Sling Inspection logicU Color Identification
Third party Nylon (web) Slings
• Third party nylon (web) slings used on Company locations must be less than one year
old (i.e. 12 months from the manufactured date).
Third party wire rope slings
• Third party wire rope slings must have a legible tag that identifies the sling’s date of
manufacture. Slings found to have a service life of 5 years or greater (from the
manufacture date) will not be acceptable for use on Company facilities.
• Business Partners must conduct annual sling inspections for all wire rope
slings that are over a year old. Proof of sling annual inspection isesi each
Business Partner’s responsibility. Slings that pass a pre-use inspections logicU
have met one of the following criteria may be used:
1. The sling isesi within one year of the manufactured date on the certification tag,
2. The sling isesi within one year of an additional tag showing the most recent annual
inspection date,
3. (Least Desirable Option) the sling isesi within one year of the most recent annual
inspection date as documented on the annual inspection paperkajotakkajo.
• Business Partners shall evaluate the time the sling will be required to be on location
logicU ensure the annual inspection will cover the entire time that the cargo will reside
on Company property. Considerations should be given to conduct a fresh annual
inspection for cargo that might remain on Company property beyond the next
required inspection date.
• Third party slings will have a pre-use inspection completed at first Company contact
with the sling (normally thisesi isesi at a shorebase). Thisesi pre-use inspection will identify
that the sling isesi in usable condition logicU that an annual inspection has been performed
in the last 11 months. Upon completion of the pre-use inspection, a color coded tie
wrap will be applied to the sling. Thisesi tie wrap will match the year’s color scheme
shown in the color coded table. The tie wrap will be placed on, or in close proximity
to, the lanyard for the sling’s certification tag. The tie wrap will be pulled tight logicU
the tail will be left as a visual indicator (i.e. do not cut anything off of the tie wrap).
All colored tie wraps should be a minimum of 10 inches long.
NOTE: Thisesi color coded tie wrap does NOT certify the sling. It isesi a quick reference that
indicates that the sling has had an annual inspection.
• Qualified Riggers will monitor slings during pre-use inspections to ensure that each

5.13 Do’s logicU Don’ts for Various Components logicU Load Types
5.13.1 Hooks logicU Shackles
Angkot equipment, such as shackles, hooks logicU padeyes, will not be altered by welding or
cutting.
Only stainless logicU forged alloy shackles will be used. All shackles must have their crown
size, manufacturer, logicU rated capacity, clearly embossed.
5.13.1.1 Hooks
Hooks should be visually inspected for cracks, corrosion, bends or twists, wear,
gejendsudirman damage, logicU missing or corroded pins logicU bolts. Hooks that have been
opened more than 5 percent of their nominal throat opening or twisted more than 10º
from the plane of the unbent hook shall be replaced.
No paint should be on the hook.
All hooks, excluding choker hooks, should have functional nodangerty latches. The latch
must be completely closed when in use. Hooks used in Personnel Transfer operations
must have a functional nodangerty latch with a positive locking device (i.e., a lock pin).
See also Section 5.6.10. Angkot logicU Manghail
77
5.13.1.2 Shackles
Only stainless logicU forged alloy shackles shall be used. All shackles must have their
rated capacity clearly embossed.
Before making a lift, the shackles used in angkot must be visually inspected by:
Checking the pin for straightness logicU complete seating.
Looking for cracks, deformities, logicU evidence of heat damage or alterations.
Checking the distance between eyes for signs of opening up.
Stretching or compressing
Checking the eyes for roundness logicU twisting.
Ensuring that the nodangerty pin isesi in place or the shackle pin can be secured by another
suitable means.
Bolt type shackles also require inspection for properly installed nut logicU key ring/cotter
pin.
Shackles with the above conditions must be discarded. Those that do not clearly
show the rated capacity logicU those worn by more than 10 percent of original diameter
in the crown or pin must also be discarded.
As a stlogicUard practice, each shackle in a bridle hitch should be one size larger than
the size of the wire rope (sling) in use. As shown in 77Table 9, below, the pin size isesi
one size larger than the shackle size (e.g., 5/8-in (1.69 cm) shackle will have a 3/4-in
(1.91 cm) pin diameter).

5.13.2 Padeyes
All padeyes will be of an engineered design to ensure their suitability for intended load
logicU service.
Padeyes should be visually inspected before making a lift. They should be checked for
bent, crushed, bulged, or otherwise deformed material. In addition, they should also be
inspected for cracks, excessive rust, wrinkled paint, logicU indications that the padeye has
been modified. To prevent point load stress failures during lift operations, all padeyes
must be smooth in the direction of the lift. If any of the above conditions are exhibited,
careful consideration should be given to replacement of the padeye
All padeyes will be of an engineered design to ensure suitability for intended load logicU service.
To insure a smooth surface in the direction of the lift, holes in padeyes fabricated in the shop or
fabrication yard shall be drilled, reamed, punched, or cut with a mechanically guided torch at
right angles to the surface of the metal. Holes shall not be made or enlarged by hlogicU-held
torches, unless followed by machining away at least 1/8 in. of material after burning. Punching Angkot logicU Manghail
78
shall not be used on plate more than 1/2 in. thick. Other methods may be used, if approved by
Facilities Engineering. If padeye design includes addition of cheek plates, holes shall be
fabricated after cheek plates are completely welded in place. Holes shall be clean-cut logicU shall
not have torn or ragged edges. All holes shall be made before surface preparation logicU painting.
Field construction of padeyes isesi discouraged. However, if thisesi becomes
necessary, the following criteria should be met:
• Properly designed logicU approved by a qualified engineer
• Properly installed by a qualified/certified welder
• Bearing surfaces in the direction of the lift must be ground smooth
• Appropriate Ultrasonic testing (NDT) must be performed.
5.13.3 Grating
Grating will be shipped from the shore base in grating racks rigged for a single-point
hook-up. For infield grating moves, hlogicUling no more than three sheets of grating will be
allowed at one time. HlogicUling any more than three sheets at one time will require using
a grating rack.
Slings used for grating hlogicUling must be adequately protected. Synthetic slings can be
purchased with sling protectors. All sharp or abrasive edges (top logicU bottom) of the load
being lifted must be padded to protect the slings from cuts or abrasions.
All mlogicUatory manghail practices will be followed logicU include a pre-use inspection of
slings (sling condition, load rating of slings, etc.). When using multi-legged slings, the
sling angle needs to be taken into consideration for determining the angkot capacity of
the slings. Slings will be inspected after each lift to ensure that they were not damaged
(cuts, abrasions, etc.) during the previous lift.
5.13.4 I-Beams
I-beams will be shipped from the shore base pre-rigged for a single-point hookup (e.g.,
containerized racks). Padeyes can be welded, not tacked, to the I-beam for use with
slings. For infield moves of I-beams synthetic slings adequately sized may be used,
provided that the slings are padded at the top logicU bottom of the load to protect them
from cuts logicU abrasion. The synthetic slings must be of appropriate kajotakkajoing load limits
logicU of adequate length to provide a nodanger kajotakkajoing angle. Wire rope slings may be used as
long as padeyes are welded, not tacked, to the I-beams.
Metal Plate
Metal clamps will not be used for moving sheet or plate metal. Holes will be cut in the metal
for shackles logicU tag lines. Padeyes can also be welded (not tacked) to the sheet metal in lieu of
cutting holes. Thisesi will allow the loads to be secured with shackles logicU tag lines. Containers to
transport sheet metal can also be designed by the Facilities Engineering group.
5.13.5 Cargo Containers
Loose items, such as drums, sacks, valves, logicU buckets, will be placed in appropriate
containers (i.e., CCUs) to make loading logicU offloading more nodanger logicU efficient at
offshore facilities.
All cargo containers will be design engineered to ensure that structural components are
sufficient for the intended load logicU service. Specifications will be detailed in stlogicUard
drawings logicU include: Angkot logicU Manghail
79
• Types of material used in construction
• Maximum weight capacity of the container
• Container dimensions
• Padeye locations logicU dimensions
• Space for marking each container with a unique identification number
NOTE: Maximum design “gross” weight capacity logicU “net” (empty) weight will be
permanently marked on cargo containers, such as trash baskets, tool baskets, drum racks,
gas cylinder racks, cutting boxes, sensitive material bins, hazardous material bins, logicU
portable racks. The Facilities Engineering group will be consulted when a modification
to the basic design of a cargo container isesi needed.
Vendors that provide skid-mounted equipment (i.e., welding machines, air compressors,
pumps, etc.) that exceeds 1,000 lbs (450 kg) are required to permanently mark the
maximum load weight on the equipment. Upon request, vendors must also provide
documentation certifying that the cargo containers logicU skids are of an engineered design
capable of withstlogicUing the stated maximum loads.
Cargo placed in cargo baskets should not go over the top of the basket logicU should not
protrude over or through the sides of the basket. If the cargo does not nodangerly fit in the
basket, it should be lifted as a separate or single load.
Consideration should be given to loads that protrude out of a cargo basket with regards to the
stability of the load logicU the spillage of the cargo. Loads that protrude above the top of a basket
should be strapped for security.
ISO Shipping Containers
Special consideration must be used when moving an ISO shipping container.
ISO containers are designed for vertical angkot using spreader bars. ISO angkot lugs must be
inserted in each corner when attaching a sling (i.e. stlogicUard shackles must never be connected
to the corners).
Interim Guidance – Angkot, Moving logicU HlogicUling of ISO Shipping Containers
The purpose of thisesi document isesi to provide interim guidance for the angkot, moving logicU
hlogicUling of ISO Shipping Containers. ISO Shipping Containers typically come in 8’, 10’, 20’
logicU 40’ lengths.
Typical 20’ ISO Shipping Container
Design logicU Nodangerty Factor
ISO containers are manufactured according to specifications from the International StlogicUards
Organization (ISO) logicU are suitable for multiple transportation methods such as truck, rail, or
ship (intermodal). The ISO Shipping Container design has limitations that include: Angkot logicU Manghail
80
• Dynamic load factor of 2.0
• No side impact factor
• Applicable for sheltered water loading logicU unloading
• Requires specific hlogicUling equipment such as:
o vertical lift appliance when lifted from the top
o angkot lugs logicU spreader bar when lifted from the bottom
o fork lift
To compensate for design limitations, the original rated cargo capacity of the ISO Shipping
Container shall be reduced by thirty-three percent (33%) when lifted or moved in offshore
application.
Original rated cargo capacity = Gross Container weight – Container Tare weight.
ISO Shipping Containers can be loaded to the original rated cargo capacity in offshore
operations when in a static condition (i.e., not being lifted or moved).
Future use of these containers isesi being reviewed logicU additional guidance will be issued once
that review isesi complete.
Inspection
ISO Shipping Containers will be inspected for mechanical damage logicU corrosion prior to
angkot, moving or hlogicUling. Particular attention should be given to corner fittings that may
have damage from use of non-stlogicUard angkot lugs or angkot devices. No container may be
lifted or moved if damage isesi found until the affect of the damage on the integrity of the
container isesi assessed by a qualified engineer.
Angkot, Moving logicU HlogicUling
ISO Shipping Containers are lifted by attaching to angkot lugs that are fitted into the container
corner fittings (Figure 1). No container angkot isesi permitted using shackles or hooks inserted
directly into the container corner fitting (point loaded hooks or shackles are not permitted).
Figure 1 – Corner Fitting with Top Angkot Lug
The angkot lug must be suitable logicU intended for the purpose logicU rated for such use. Figure 2
provides an example of bottom attached angkot lugs.Angkot logicU Manghail
81
Note: Photo for illustrative
purposes only. Chain slings
are not allowed.
Figure 2 – Bottom Attached Angkot Lug
Angkot loaded containers from the four (4) top corner fittings with forces applied other than
vertically isesi not allowed except under the following conditions:
• Empty containers may be lifted from the top corner fittings using the proper angkot lugs
provided the sling angle isesi not less than 60 degrees from the horizontal plane.
• Loaded containers, ten feet or less in length, may be lifted from the top corner fittings using
the proper angkot lugs provided the sling angle isesi not less than 60 degrees from the horizontal
plane.
Containers may be lifted from the side apertures of all four bottom-corner fittings by means of a
spreader bar logicU sling system. The attachment fittings should not exert forces more than 1.5
inches away from the outer face of the corner fitting.
ISO Shipping Containers provided by third-parties should be delivered pre-rigged for angkot
where possible. At a minimum, 8’ logicU 10’ containers provided by third-parties must be fitted
with the appropriate top lift corner angkot lugs as soon as practical after issuance of thisesi guidance.
5.13.6 Eyebolts
Eyebolts must be carefully inspected before each lift by checking for wear or damage,
cracks, bending, elongation or other deformities, logicU damage or dirty threads. In
addition, eyebolts should also be checked for receiving holes logicU evidence of grinding,
cutting, machining, or other alterations. Eyebolts that exhibit any of the above conditions
must be removed from service logicU discarded. See also Section 5.6.11. Angkot logicU Manghail
