1. Lifting & Slinging Safety #ST-3

2. BANKSMAN / SLINGER

3. General Safety BANKSMAN / SLINGER

4. ALWAYS THINK WHAT IF ? General Safety THE SLING BREAKS? THE LOAD SLIPS? THE LOAD SWINGS TOWARDS ME? ADD ANY OTHER WHAT IF’S OF YOUR OWN FOR ALL THESE YOU SHOULD HAVE A PLAN TO ENSURE YOUR OWN AND OTHERS SAFETY

5. General Safety ALWAYS HAVE AN ESCAPE ROUTE DO NOT GET TRAPPED IN SPACES YOU CANNOT GET AWAY FROM QUICKLY

6. General Safety NEVER TAKE LOADS OVER PERSONNEL MOVE THE PERSONNEL OR TAKE THE LOAD ROUND THEM THE SAME APPLIES TO YOURSELF NEVER GO UNDER SUSPENDED LOADS

7. General Safety BE AWARE OF PINCH POINTS

8. General Safety NEVER WRAP TAGLINE ROUND YOUR HANDS OR BODY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET FREE QUICKLY ENOUGH AND COULD BE BADLY INJURED OR WORSE TAGLINES SHOULD BE HELD NORMALLY

9. General Safety BE AWARE OF FIXED OBSTACLE SUCH AS STAIRS, VENTS OR THE DERRICK STRUCTURE ITSELF

10. SUMMARY Ask yourself “WHAT IF ?” Have an escape route Never walk under loads or allow loads to be lifted over other personnel Watch out for fixed obstacles IF IN DOUBT ASK! General Safety

11. All items must have: Safe Working Load Unique Identification Number Current Color Code PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

12. SAFETY HOOK PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

13. PIPE HOOK PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

14. SUMMARY Wire Rope Slings Check for crushing Check Ferrule for cracks Check for kinks Check for broken wires Check for other signs of damage PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

15. SUMMARY Webbing Slings Check for fraying Check for splits Check for contamination Check stitching Check for other signs of damage PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

16. SUMMARY Shackles Check for wear Check not stretched or bent Check for cracks (Sound Check) Check proper pin correctly fitted Check for other signs of damage PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

17. SUMMARY Hooks Check for wear Check not stretched or bent Check for cracks Check latch mechanism closes fully Check for other signs of damage PRE-USE INSPECTIONS

18. BANKSMAN / SLINGER Slinging Application

19. Load on sling = 1000Kg Load on sling = 500Kg 1000KG Load on sling = 500Kg Slinging Application SPREADER BAR IS USED AND SLINGS ARE HUNG OFF THIS AS SLINGS DO NOT MEET THERE IS NO ANGLE BETWEEN THEM SLINGS ATTACHED TO LOAD SHARE LOAD EQUALLY AND EACH BEARS 500KG SPREADER BAR IS HUNG OFF ANOTHER SLING WHICH BEARS FULL WEIGHT OF LOAD OR 1000KG ( NOTE WE ARE NOT COUNTING WEIGHT OF SPREADER BAR)

20. 1000KG 90 O Load on sling = 700Kg Load on sling = 700Kg Slinging Application THIS TIME BOTH SLINGS ARE ATTACHED TO THE CRANE AND ANGLE BETWEEN THEM IS 90 DEGREES AS YOU CAN SEE LOAD ON EACH SLING HAS INCREASED SUCH THAT EACH SLING NOW BEARS 700KG

21. Load 1000Kg Load 1000Kg 1000KG 120 O Slinging Application THIS TIME ANGLE BETWEEN THEM HAS INCREASED TO 120 DEGREES LOAD ON EACH SLING HAS INCREASED SO THAT EACH NOW BEARS 1000KG OR FULL WEIGHT OF LOAD AS WE HAVE JUST SEEN IF ANGLE BETWEEN INCREASES THEN LOAD IMPOSED ON SLINGS INCREASE

22. 1000KG 90 O SWL 1000Kg SWL 1000Kg Slinging Application RULE FOR SLINGING WHEN USING TWO SLINGS IS: ANGLE BETWEEN SLINGS MUST NEVER exceed 90 DEGREES EACH SLING MUST BE RATED FOR FULL WEIGHT OF LOAD.

23. SWL of Assembly 1000Kg 1000KG 90 O 90 O Slinging Application SAME RULE STANDS FOR FOUR LEGGED SLINGS IN THAT THE ANGLE BETWEEN SLINGS MUST NOT EXCEED 90 DEGREES. IN THIS CASE HOWEVER THE BRIDLE ASSEMBLY WILL HAVE TO BE RATED FOR THE FULL WEIGHT OF THE LOAD. THIS WILL NORMALLY BE MARKED ON THE RING AT THE TOP

24. If you choke then half the SWL Double wrap to get 360 degree contact Slinging Application IMPORTANT RULE WHEN USING SLINGS IS: IF YOU CHOKE A SLING YOU MUST HALF ITS’ SWL WHEN SLINGING TUBULARS YOU MUST ENSURE THEY ARE DOUBLE WRAPPED. THIS IS TO GET 360 DEGREE CONTACT.

25. Slinging Application NEVER HIT OR FORCE EYE OF SLING DOWNWARDS WHEN SLINGING TUBULARS. SLINGS WILL FIND THEIR OWN BITE YOU WILL NOT INCREASE THE GRIP BY FORCING EYE DOWN ALL YOU WILL SUCCEED IN DOING IS INCREASING ANGLE WHICH AS WE KNOW INCREASES LOAD IMPOSED ON SLING

26. Slinging Application WHEN SLINGING TUBULARS MAKE SURE SLINGS ARE CHOKED IN THE SAME DIRECTION. IF YOU DO NOT, THEN LOAD WILL TWIST.

27. Slinging Application SLINGS SHOULD BE EQUAL DISTANCE FROM EACH END ENSURE ANGLE DOES NOT EXCEED 90 DEGREES HOWEVER

28. Slinging Application THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS IF SLINGS ARE NOT EQUAL DISTANCES FROM EACH END.

29. Slinging Application ALWAYS USE TAGLINES

30. Slinging Application ENSURE LOAD IS CLEAR TO LIFT PRIOR TO SIGNALLING CRANE OPERATOR. LOOK OUT FOR DECK BEAMS OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS

31. Slinging Application NEVER MIX DIFFERENT SIZE TUBULARS IN SAME BUNDLE AS SMALLER SIZE MAY SLIP OUT

32. PIN END PROTECTOR BOX END PROTECTOR Slinging Application PROTECTORS SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN PLACE ON TUBULARS

33. BASKET HITCH Slinging Application BASKET HITCH CAN BE USED TO LIFT FRAGILE BOXES AS SLINGS WILL NOT CRUSH THE LOAD WHEN USING BASKET HITCH TAKE GREAT CARE LOAD DOES NOT SLIP

34. Slinging Application MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO LOOSE ITEMS ON THE LOAD PRIOR TO MAKING ANY LIFT LOOK ALL ROUND LOAD CAREFULLY

35. Slinging Application POSITION TIP OF BOOM DIRECTLY OVER LOAD THIS WILL ENSURE LOAD PICKS UP CLEANLY WITHOUT SWINGING.

36. Slinging Application IF TIP OF BOOM IS NOT DIRECTLY OVER LOAD THEN IT MAY SWING AND HIT PEOPLE OR PLANT CAUSING INJURY OR DAMAGE.

37. Slinging Application MAKE SURE SLINGS AND SHACKLES ARE NOT TWISTED IF YOU LIFT A LOAD WITH TWISTED SLINGS YOU ARE LIKELY TO CAUSE DAMAGE OR EVEN CAUSE THE EQUIPMENT TO FAIL DURING THE LIFT

38. Slinging Application ENSURE LOAD IS LEVEL BEFORE MAKING LIFT THIS MAY MEAN SECURING LOOSE EQUIPMENT IN HALF HEIGHTS AND CONTAINERS SO IT WILL NOT MOVE DURING THE LIFT. ALL LOADS SHOULD BE LIFTED 2” - 3” ABOVE THE DECK AND CHECKED TO SEE THEY ARE LEVEL BEFORE CONTINUING WITH THE LIFT

39. Slinging Application ALWAYS CHECK INSPECTION PLATE ON CONTAINERS AND HALF HEIGHTS TO ENSURE TEST DATE STAMP IS CURRENT.

40. Slinging Application CONTAINER DOORS MUST BE FIRMLY SECURED BEFORE MAKING LIFT. Collect staff tidy inside the container

41. Slinging Application HALF HEIGHTS MUST NOT HAVE ITEMS OVERHANGING THE EDGES THESE MAY HAVE TO BE SLUNG INDIVIDUALLY

42. Door to be closed Ensure the bottles will not fall over. Slinging Application GAS BOTTLES MUST ALWAYS BE MOVED IN A CERTIFIED BOTTLE CARRIER. DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF GAS BOTTLES (Chemical reaction may happen) NEVER MOVE A GAS BOTTLE USING SLINGS. VALVES SHOULD BE TURNED OFF AND VALVE PROTECTOR CAPS SHOULD BE FITTED

43. LIFTING POINT SLING AND SHACKLE Slinging Application CERTAIN ITEMS OF PLANT MAY HAVE DEDICATED LIFTING POINTS FOR USE WITH EYE BOLTS. ALWAYS USE DEDICATED LIFTING POINTS IF FITTED AS THEY ARE POSITIONED TO ENSURE STRAIGHT LIFT BEARINGS AND SHAFTS SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM DAMAGE USING WOOD OR RAGS. Mandatory

44. CENTRE OF GRAVITY Slinging Application IF THERE IS NO DEDICATED LIFTING POINT THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO CONSIDER WHERE THE CENTRE OF GRAVITY OF THE LOAD IS BEFORE YOU POSITIONS THE SLINGS REMEMBER THIS MAY NOT BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LOAD

45. BARREL HOOKS BARREL CARRIER Slinging Application WHERE EVER POSSIBLE BARRELS SHOULD ONLY BE LIFTED USING DEDICATED BARREL LIFTING EQUIPMENT

46. Slinging Application WHEN USING PIPE HOOKS MAKE SURE YOUR FINGERS WILL NOT BE CAUGHT WHEN LOAD IS LIFTED

47. Slinging Application NEVER ATTACH TAGLINE TO SLING OR HOOK WHEN USING PIPE HOOKS AS YOU COULD PULL HOOK OUT CAUSING LOAD TO FALL. TAGLINE SHOULD BE ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO THE LOAD

48. SUMMARY Never exceed 90 degree angle Choked sling = half SWL Double wrap tubulars and choke in the same direction Aways fit protectors to tubulars Take extra care with pipe hooks Slinging Application

49. SUMMARY Check containers & half heights for current test date stamp Close container doors properly Never allow items to overhang half heights Sling loads round the centre of gravity ALWAYS USE A TAGLINE Slinging Application
