E.O.T CRANE 01

1.0 Purpose
The general purpose is to ensure that a Safe System of Work (SSOW) applies to the risks associated with lifting,
moving, and lower pipes, concrete rings etc. Each activity has been carefully considered and appropriate
controls implemented. The specific purpose of this Method Statement procedure is to describe the method of
lifting, moving, and lower pipes, concrete rings

2.0 Objective
This method statement is critical to the health and safety (H&S) of the activity it relates to. It is too followed and
adhered, any deviation or changes must be first authorized by the site supervisor

3.0 Scope
We [RAJAT CONSTRUCTIONS] will be using a [Crane/Heavy Lifting Machinery] to lift, move, and lower pipes,
concrete rings etc. The excavations will be up to 5.0 meters deep in some of the areas.

4.0 Quality of Installation

Quality of installation and materials at the site will be ensured by the project team consisting of a Project
Manager, Project Engineers and the site Supervisor. All the installation at the project will be according to the
project specification. applicable standards and /or industry norms. All installation work shall factually adopt and
carry out as per the Manufacturer's/Client's Consultant's Health & Safety recommendations for handling and use
of the materials/substance. Main Contractor/Sub-Contractor/Third party shall ensure that all workers are aware
of the applicable H&S requirements.

5.0 Risk Assessment

Before proceedings to any lifting work, Risk hazard Identification to be conducted for the particular lifting
operation. This is required to be done for every lifting operation activity/work. If a series of similar operations
are to be undertaken one RA may be sufficient, but check carefully that something critical has not changed, for
example, if the size and/or weight of the load is much greater than for the previous lift then a new RA will need
to be undertaken.
This method statement provides a generic safe system of work for lifting operations, but the specific hazards of
the work, as determined by the risk assessment, will have to be added if not already covered here.

6.0 Equipment
Before any lifting operation, ensure that the relevant safety checks have been undertaken on the [Crane/Heavy
Lifting Machinery] and any other equipment being used:
● Leather Gloves
● Hard Hat
● Goggle Glass
● Dust Mask
● First Aid Kit
● Two-way radio
● Measuring equipment

Make Sure that the Lifting Tackle:

1. Is appropriate for the task?
2. Will fit the lifting lugs and/or holes on the rings, pipes and biscuits be accurately and properly secured?
3. Is rated for the force that will be strived during the lift operation?
4. Is properly adjusted so that the angle at which the wires/chains/bars are working is appropriate for the
lift and is not leading to forces greater than the tackle can bear?
5. Has appropriate blocks and shackles etc. where needed?
6. Is undamaged and in good condition?
7. Has been tested and certified within the past 6 months?
Load
The Site Lift Supervisor must make sure that the load can be safely lifted, carried and lowered by the
[Crane/Heavy Lifting Machinery]. The load must be within the safe lifting load and a safe working load of the
[Crane/Heavy Lifting Machinery]. The lift supervisor will need to be sure that the [Crane/Heavy Lifting
Machinery] can carry the load at the jib extension that will be required for the lift, moving and lowering,
remembering that the larger the load the further out the jib will have to move. And larger here also means
heavier.
Make Sure That the Load Itself Is:
1. secured and evenly balanced
2. not obstruct the operation of the [Crane/Heavy Lifting Machinery]
3. guided by handling ropes if necessary, so that it does not swing
Workers
The Lifting Forman must make sure that the workforce involved in the lifting Operation:
1. Understand their role

2. Are competent to undertake that role

3. Have appropriate PPE, including high viz vests
4. Are not required to be positioned where the [Crane/Heavy Lifting Machinery] or load is a hazard for
them

7.0 Health & Safety Hazards

Before commencing any lifting, moving work, the team shall strictly follow as per the Manufacturer’s/ Client’s /
Consultant’s Health & Safety recommendations for handling and use of the materials and ensure all involved
personnel shall be aware of the same. The general safety guidelines are given below:

1. Ensure the work area is safe & clean.

2. All employees shall adopt safe working practices.
3. Safety equipment (Safety helmet, safety shoes, coveralls, gloves, goggles, face mask as applicable) to be
worn at all times.
4. When working at a high level, the appropriate safety harness shall be used and secured whilst working-
extra care shall be taken whilst using tools at a high level to prevent dropping.
5. Ensure sufficient lighting is available during all stages of installation & testing.
6. Report all accidents no matter how small to the Safety Officer on duty.
7. Ensure any electrical isolation permit is obtained if required, for installation any electrical equipment,
panel, cable, wires and accessories.

8.0 Responsibilities
