ACCIDENT PREVENTION 1.

SAFETY WITH HANDS 1.1.

They are fragile and are daily exposed to risks, sharp edges, knifes, etc., are the

enemies of distracted hands. There are no reserve hands, they will never be found in the

storeroom for replacement. Nothing can substitute them completely. The hand is the

region of the body most affected by accidents.

NOTE: Any injury limits your hands. Therefore, the safety of your hands is in your

HANDS. The numbers reveal the dramatic impact of the work on the workers' hands. And

the importance of dedicating special attention to the protection of the hands in the

workplace. If we consider only the workplace accidents that affect the hands up to the

fist, we will find more than one third (34.2%) of all workplace accidents notified in Brazil,

in 2003, according to statistics of the INSS (Dataprev).

NOTE: Your hands and fingers have more nerve endings per square centimeter

than any other part of your body.

Positioning

To position your hands appropriately, you should first recognize the risks and then

develop a plan (Safe Work Practice) to help keep your hands out of danger.

Use equipment to move materials whenever possible, and not by manual

means.

Keep your hands inside the lift basket on the holders to protect the hands

and not on the edge of the basket.

By being alert and aware of the positioning of the hands, keeping them out

of the areas that can damage your most valuable tool.


P á g i n a | 13

RISK PERCEPTION 1.2.

It is the act of making contact with a hazard by means of your senses (hearing,

touch, smell, vision and taste), interpret this information and, then, decide what to do.

HSE (HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT) 1.3.

HSE Management Policy

Statement by the organization, exposing its intentions and principles with regards

to HSE, which provides a structure for action and definition of HSE objectives and

targets.

Danger

Source or situation with the potential to cause damage in terms of human injuries

or health problems, damage to property, to the environment or a combination of the

above.

Hazard

The combination of the probability and consequence of the occurrence of a

specified dangerous event.


P á g i n a | 14

Deviation

Any action or condition not in conformity with the workplace standards,

procedures, legal requirements, normative instructions or the management system, and

best practices that can result in damage to:

People

Equipment

Materials

Environment.

NOTE: In identifying any deviation related to the Cargo Handling Operations, the

“Observation Card” must be used as a preventive tool and as a means to track the

deviations identified in the operation.

TYPES OF WORK ACCIDENTS 2.

Impact of person against

It is applied to cases in which the injury was produced by the impact of the victim

against a stationary object, except in cases of falls.

Impact suffered

The movement is by the object.

Fall with difference in levels

The action of gravity, with the contact object

below the surface where the victim is located.

Fall on the same level

Due to the loss of balance, like the contact object on the same level or above the

support surface of the victim.

IMPROPER ATTITUDE 2.1.

Improper attitude is the disobedience to a safe, commonly accepted procedure. It

is not necessarily disobedience to the standard or written procedure, but those standards

of conduct dictated by common sense, tacitly accepted.

It is the disobedience of the Operational Discipline.

The improper attitude occurs in three manners:

1. The person doesn't do what he/she should.

not prevent the use of a specific piece of equipment

by an unauthorized person.

2. The person does what he/she shouldn't do.

operate equipment without authorization and/or training.

3. The person does something in a different manner from what he or she

should do to save time, pass through a sealed area.


P á g i n a | 17

UNSAFE CONDITIONS 2.2.

Unsafe conditions are the conditions of the environment, whose corrections are

the responsibility of all, including the accident victim. It comprehends machines,

equipment, materials, work methods and administrative deficiency.

Ex: Not perform pre-use inspections (visual) correctly in defective equipment and

with expired certifications and outdated color codes.

The unsafe condition and the improper attitude are the end causes of an accident,

that is, an action that provoked the occurrence. The observation is very important and

its negligence has the power to alter the improper attitude towards the unsafe condition.

No one is better able than you to know the best manner to perform your work in

an organized manner, always discussing improvements with your colleagues and

supervisors.

Unsafe Act 2.2.1.

It is not executing a safety procedure, coming to create conditions for the

occurrence of an accident.

Ex: Fabricate and alter Cargo Handling Accessories by means of a weld in the unit.

Preventive Action

Action to eliminate the cause of a potential identified non-conformity or another

undesirable action/situation.

Note: There may be more than one cause for a non-conformity.

EXAMPLES OF UNSAFE CONDITIONS 2.2.2.

1. Inadequate protection of equipment.

2. Congested Work Areas (in disarray)

3. Work with Cargo Handling Accessories with expired certifications.

4. Not following the color code for Cargo Handling accessories.

5. Defective equipment, tools or materials.


P á g i n a | 18

ACCIDENT CASES 3.

Reports of some accidents occurred at the Campos Basin. Report prepared by

Petrobras/UN/BC Work Group with the objective of minimizing the accidents in the cargo

handling activity. The names of the accident victims and the locations of the accidents

were omitted for the preservation of privacy.

1 “While moving a sheaf of tubes, the employee had his left forefinger

crushed with the cargo against a spool flange, causing an injury.” Although

he alleged in his deposition that he slipped and lost his balance, leaning

against the flange, it was observed that the flooring, besides being non-slip

and in perfect conditions, it was not slippery and his boots were new.

2 "During the closing of the metallic box, the employee had his left hand

crushed between the lid and the metallic box."

3 “While raising the lid of a metallic box, the accident victim, together with

three other colleagues, agreed that to close the lid, the four would let it go

at the same time. The victim did not accompany the other colleagues and

the lid fell on his right forearm (wrist), causing a cut-contusion injury.”

4 The fall of the cargo movement assistant from the turbine Box, due to the

anticipated movement caused by a failure in communication.

5 “The employee was organizing the selective collection box. With the

swinging of the unit, the lid support was dislocated, causing the closing of

the lid, striking the upper right limb, causing a contusion.”

6 “When storing material in a metallic box, the cargo handling assistant hit a

prop that kept the lid partially raised. The lid fell on the back of his left

hand.”

7 While opening a metallic box, to store PPEs, the lid was thrown by the wind,

hitting the penis and scrotum of the employee, causing a cut.“

8 “The cargo raising net became caught in the sling of a container, throwing it

against one of the sailors that was performing the operation on the deck of

the vessel, causing a fracture in the clavicle and the toes of the right foot.”

9 “While moving a 200 liter drum on a wooden pallet inside a container, the

pallet's board broke and hit the operator's leg.”

10 “The employee was moving an iron sheet hanging from the crane. While

controlling the sheet, he asked the crane operator to stop. Even though he

was far from the cargo, he was struck in the left ankle, suffering a


P á g i n a | 19

contusion." The accident victim was performing this job and could only

communicate with the crane operator through a VHF radio.

11 “A cargo handling team, comprised of four assistants, was unloading a

basket with metallic beams. During a break in the job, one of the team

members tried to move one of the beams alone and had his finger caught

between the two pieces, suffering a contusion and an injury of the nail.”

12 “While removing trash and metallic scrap from a bucket, the employee

suffered a cut-contusion of the first toe of the right foot.”

13 “While moving cargo, the strap broke, causing the shock of the broken strap

against the nasal region and right malar of the employee, causing an

injury.”

14 While discarding oil from a drum that was already inclined, holding it by the

upper extremity and, while lowering it fully, he had the finger of the right

hand pressed against a fixed tube that was close to the site of the

maneuver.

OPERATION PLANNING 6.

At the beginning of each workday, a safety meeting focused on the programmed

operations must be held, encouraging the participation of the entire team.

Cases of accidents that occurred could be presented, mainly, in the cargo

handling.

WORK PLANNING 7.

In every cargo handling operation to be performed, three basic items must be

known: the origin, course and destination of the cargo.

The origin of the cargo is the place where the cargo to be handled is located. First,

analyze if there is something that hinders its handling, in a positive case, remove

everything and everyone that may impact it and, if necessary, restrict the area where

the cargo is located. Verify then, if the cargo route is free from obstacles. The cargo shall

never pass over people, if necessary, restrict the area. Finally, verify if the destination is

MASS AND VOLUME

INTRODUCTION 12.2.

By comparing, for example, lead and wood, anyone would immediately say that

lead is "heavier" than wood. This way of expressing oneself is revealed to be the result of

a very inaccurate analysis, and may even be false; note that a small lead sphere may

certainly be lighter than a piece of wood that is large enough. As we see, the expressions

of everyday life "lighter" and "heavier" are not sufficient to accurately describe a

property of matter. In physics we have to keep in mind the accuracy of how we express

ourselves, and employ a very specific meaning to the terms taken from everyday

language. We could cover a good amount of examples, such as "work" and "energy",

which have unusual meanings in everyday life and, however very distant from their

scientific meanings. Let us, for the moment, 'see' only the birth of the magnitudes

'specific mass' (or absolute density) and 'specific weight'.

In the comparison between these substances, volume is evidently important, since

we know that: with equal volumes, a body of lead is heavier than a wooden body. If

however, both are at the same location equal in weight, then their volumes are different.

Two spheres of the same weight, one made of lead and the other of wood, the wood

volume will be larger (about 12 times larger in volume; about 3 times greater in radius);

however, as weight and mass are proportional to each other, then the two spheres have

the same mass.

A lead body having the same mass as a wooden body will occupy, thus, a smaller

space (volume). For this reason we say that lead is more "dense" than wood. The

differentiation between the substances can be determined when initially comparing

bodies with equal masses, and then bodies with equal volumes.

As bodies of the same substance can have different sizes, different weights and

different masses, they must find a value that disregards the current mass, weight and

volume of the bodies. This value must be a characteristic of the substance of which the

body is made of, rather than the body itself. It must characterize a property of the

substance and not the body.

Let us compare the mass or the weight of bodies of the same volume and different

substances. The volume is 1 cm3. We can then say: if the weight of 1 cm3 of a

substance is greater than the corresponding weight of a second substance, then the first

substance has greater specific weight. If the mass of 1 cm3 of a substance is greater


P á g i n a | 38

than the corresponding mass of a second substance, then the first substance is more

dense.

As these values must be independent of the characteristic values of a body

(volume, mass, weight) and representative only of the substance, the representative

value of the body must be eliminated somehow. For this to occur, we need the ratio

between volume and mass, or between volume and weight.

When heated, as a rule, the bodies dilate; their volumes increase. The specific

weight and density of the material of which they are composed become smaller when

heated. This knowledge obtained from observation coincides with the definition of

density. As with the heating, the mass (classical) does not change, and due to the fact

that the volume is in the denominator, an increase in volume implies a decrease in

density; the reduction in volume results in an increase in density. The same can be said

with respect to the specific weight. In order to determine the density of a substance, it is

necessary to measure the mass and volume of the substance. From that quotient, we

obtain the density.

Comparing bodies with equal masses and bodies with equal volumes of different

substances. Mass and volume or weight and volume are proportional to each other,

respectively.

SUSPENDED LOADS 13.

These operations need to have lifting plans, requiring that the operation be fully

covered by work planning and specific procedures in load handling activities.

When pulling or pushing loads or suspended objects, do not raise your

hands above the level of the chest, the arms must be extended and one leg

in a support position;

Flag and isolate the movement area, forbidding transit or the presence of

people under the suspended load;

Ensure that the load is evenly distributed among the branches of the sling,

stabilized and tied;

Make sure that the weight is compatible with the capacity of the equipment;

Check the position of the load’s center of gravity;


P á g i n a | 39

Ensure that the steel cable and / or straps are not in direct contact with the

edges of the pieces during transport;

In ships or platforms, the sea conditions, vessel movements and wind must

be considered as they may increase the risk of accidents. Check with your

supervisor;

Do not use cables or ropes to pull loads, except with a tag line;

Do not drag loads on the floor;

Check the validity of certifications, color coding and visual inspection of

slings and steel cables before each lift;

Worn or distressed straps must be discarded immediately;

During the lifting operation of the load, it is forbidden to stand under the

suspended load, handling the load over people, staying between the load

and any other obstacle;

Use the tag line with enough length to control the suspended load;

Do not use your hands directly to stabilize moving loads;

Keep yourself free of cables that can wrap around your feet;

Flag and isolate the movement area, prohibiting transit or people standing

under the suspended load;

The signalman must always be within sight of the operator;

Upon the impossibility of seeing the latter, employ radio communication and

/or intermediary signalman;

The signalman must use an easy to view day/night identification, which

distinguishes him from other workers in the operation area.

NOTE: according to the safety policy of each organization, require a permit-to-

work (PT) for the use of straps.

Tag lines

Use tag lines with sufficient length to control the load on suspension, complying

with (10.11-34-NR) with regard to the use of non-electricity conducting material to

position the load.


P á g i n a | 40

PERSONNEL TRANSFER BASKET 14.

All operations of offshore personnel transfer by basket must be approved by

the captain of the vessel. The captain must have taken note of the

prevailing environmental conditions and assessed the risk as being the

same or lower than when using other practicable methods of specific

available transfer.

The following rules must be followed:

The crane must be rated and certified for man-riding applications with

mechanic lowering, an automatic brake that engages when the winch goes

back to neutral; and a system that prevents clutching and freefall;

The basket must remain in full visibility of the crane operator or signalman

at all times;

Personnel must be only be transported in a carrier that has been approved

for these operations and is clearly marked to show the maximum number of

people that can be transported;

When possible. Use baskets for the transfer of personnel, any baggage

must be moved first, as this gives the operator of the crane and the

signalman a test before lifting people;

Personnel must wear the correct personal protective equipment;

The personnel being transferred by basket must have accepted that they

are willing to be transferred by this method.

RECOMMENDATIONS 14.1.

Before an operation with a basket, observe the following:

The basket must be in good conditions, equipped with all the devices set

forth in NORMAM 05 DPC chapter 4-0408;

The basket must be stored in well ventilated place, where it is not subject to

chemical or mechanical damage. It must be ready and unobstructed for use

at any time;

Before each use, it must be inspected by a qualified professional;

Every transfer basket must have its expiration date and transport capacity

clearly marked on the background protection canvas and its capacity, under

no circumstances, can be exceeded;

The most important operation of all is one that involves people. For sea

transport, training is mandatory, regardless of the type of vessel and the

transfer capacity of the basket, which can be for four or eight passengers;

It is observed that people mostly know the standards for basket transfer,

but had no practical training to be carried therein. This means of

transportation is one of the most important options for evacuation of a

maritime unit;


P á g i n a | 41

The transfer of people will be performed under normal conditions, during

daytime only and under the following environmental conditions;

a) Minimum visibility of 3 km or 1.6 nautical miles.

b) Wind with maximum intensity of 30 knots or 55 km/h

c) Maximum wave height at 3m.

NOTE: All basket operations must be approved by the captain of the vessel in

accordance with existing procedures.

Marking according to NORMAM 05/DPC (Directorate of Ports and Coasts)

It must contain a steel plate, firmly attached to the inferior rim, containing:

a) Name of manufacturer;

b) Load capacity;

c) Type and model;

d) Serial number;

e) Manufacturing date; and

f) Imprints: Certificate of Approval number...

valves;

Be careful not to have hands or feet pressed when moving the cylinder;

Only small manual handling of the cylinder is allowed for the removal of the

skids and positioning in the cart. Be aware so the balance does not exceed

the position of stability of the center of gravity;

Only lift gas cylinders when they are packed on suitable skids;

Do not hoist cylinders in the transport cart;

During long distance transportation, secure cylinders to the skid with straps

or metal strips;

Do not lubricate slings, cables and accessories used in handling oxygen

cylinders with oil or grease;Lift the skid by the appropriate eyebolts;

Make sure the cylinder is firmly secured to the skid

Gas cylinders, whether pressurized or not, must be

handled with extreme caution.

Do not move, carry or lift cylinders without a

protecting helmet on the valves;

Be careful not to have hands or feet pressed when

moving the cylinder;

SPOOLS AND REELS 15.13.

Do not roll spools manually;

Check the possibility of injury from nails, splinters, staples, clips, sharp

metal strips or others;

Store reels and spools so that they do not roll. Store them or turn them

with the flat side down;

When stacking spools or reels, observe the conservation of reels, stability of

the stack and place the larger ones under the smaller ones.


P á g i n a | 50

STEEL PLATES 15.14.

Steel plates have sharp edges that can cause serious injury. Handling must be

done with careful observation of the safety rules:

Move steel plates in the vertical position using special lifting equipment for

plates;

Observe the wind conditions and the pitch of the vessel;

Never place your hand or foot between the plates;

Extra care when moving thin plates, as they have extremely sharp edges;

Do not drag the plates on the floor;

Do not manually suspend a plate by yourself. Ask a colleague for help;

Be careful when releasing the plate on the floor, do not put your hand under

it.

STORAGE OF PLATES 15.15.

Always store plates in sheltered areas;

Separate by thickness and size, in the upright position in racks with minimal

support at three points.

PIPES 15.16.

Accessory pipes must always be placed with two slings, each with the same length

and with an appropriate Working Load Limit (WLL).

Many of the activities on the platform are centered in the drill and/or production

pipes.

Safe and efficient work can be performed when the correct manner of working is

known and applied by the crew.


P á g i n a | 51

The omission of such practices may increase the potential risk of accidents and

reduce the useful life of the equipment.

The use of levers when handling pipes can be determined by the supervisor or

crane operator, depending on the specific job to be performed.

Given the size and weight of the drill pipe and collars, the staff must learn how to

work with these drilling tools.

The drill collars weigh 2,700 lbs to 5,000 lbs per section, depending on the

size used. Bolts, fittings and ferrules provide areas of sealing by sections

when screwed together. Any damage to these areas during transport or

lifting may cause leaks and failures during drilling.

These pipes for replacement and adjustment increase the risk of accidents,

which could be avoided. Before releasing the pipes from the slings, it must

be ensured that they are strongly supported, avoiding any movement;

When handling pipes in bundles, one must take extra care to prevent

slipping;

Wrap slings or straps around the ends of the pipes at least twice so that the

bundle is tightened to avoiding slipping;

Before loosening the slings, chock the pipes to prevent them from rolling,

especially in floating installations;

Never lift a pipe by its mid-section, always by its ends at a 45° angle;

The number of pipes in each bundle must be such that the intermediary

pipes get caught and do not slide out of the bundle. Whenever practicable,

the pipes and fittings must be bundled in odd numbers;


P á g i n a | 52

LASER RADAR SYSTEM (FANBEAM LASER RADAR SYSTEM) 16.

Equipment used on vessels equipped with a dynamic positioning system, it

consists basically of a laser emitting unit, a reflector and a receiver. The reflector is

positioned at the UO, the sender and receiver remain on the vessel. The relative position

of the vessel is obtained by the transit time of the laser beam, providing the correction

parameters for the dynamic positioning system.

REFLECTOR OF THE DYNAMIC POSITIONING (DP) OF VESSELS 16.1.

Many vessels operating in support of offshore units are equipped with dynamic

positioning resources, also known as DP. In most operations, there is the need for a

reflector to be installed in the Maritime Unit. For a safe operation, follow the guidance of

the vessel captain:

As to the placement of the deflector;

Remain isolated from any material that contains a reflective strip; and

Only remove with the captain´s permission.

STEEL CABLES AND STRAPS 17.

TERMS USED IN CARGO HANDLING 17.1.

Accessory

All material used to connect the load to the hook of the hoisting equipment, such

as: straps, loops, slings, anti-roll bars, etc.

Work load

It is the maximum allowable weight of the load in normal use, provided by the

manufacturer.

WLL - Working Load Limit.


P á g i n a | 53

The maximum load that an item of the lifting equipment is designed to raise,

lower or suspend. The WLL does not consider specific service conditions that may affect

the final classification of the equipment.

SWL - Safe Working Load.

The maximum load that an item of the lifting equipment is able to raise, lower or

suspend, under specific service conditions, that is, the SWL may be smaller than the

WLL.

Break load

It is the greatest force the accessory is exposed to during the tensile test.


P á g i n a | 54

Safety factor

It is the ratio between the break load and the work load, being that the same are

different between chains, ropes and synthetic webbing straps.

Ex: Horizontal cable pull - factor 4 to 5. Cables for winches and earthworks -

factor 5. Traveling cranes and electric hoists - factor 6 to 8

Center of Gravity

It is the point on the body where the weight is evenly distributed.


P á g i n a | 55

Test Load

It is the force that the accessory is submitted to after its manufacture.


P á g i n a | 56

Total Elongation

It is the elongation of an accessory at the time of its break in % of its total length.

Total length

It is the distance between the points of support in a unloaded sling.

Construction of a steel cable

Steel cable is a tool;

This tool is formed by wires, strands and a core;

The strand is a set of wires twisted in the same direction, and may have

more than one layer, arranged around a center core;

The strands are twisted in a spiral in one or more layers around a core;

Construction of a steel cable is the term used to indicate the number of

strands, the number of wires in each strand, its composition and the type of

core;

The strands of the cables can be manufactured in one, two or more

operations, depending on their composition.


P á g i n a | 57

ANGULATION 18.


P á g i n a | 58


P á g i n a | 59

COMPOSITION AND CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL CABLES 19.

SEALE COMPOSITION – There are at least two

adjacent layers with the same number of wires. All wires in the

same layer have high wear resistance.

WARRINGTON COMPOSITION – There is at least one

layer consisting of wires of two different and alternating

diameters. These cables have good wear resistance and good

fatigue resistance.

FILLER COMPOSITION – There are main wires and thin

wires, which serve as filling for the better accommodation of the

other wires. The filler wires are not subject to the specifications

that the main wires must meet. These cables have good wear

resistance, good fatigue resistance and high resistance to

denting.

FIBER CORES - Fiber cores generally give greater

flexibility to the steel cable. Steel cables can have natural fibers

(AF) or artificial fibers cores (AFA). The natural fiber cores are

usually made of sisal, and the artificial fiber cores are usually

made of polypropylene.

STEEL CORES - Steel cores ensure greater resistance to

denting and increase tensile strength. The steel core may be

formed by a cable strand (AA) or an independent steel cable

(AACI), the latter being the preferred mode when the larger

cable requires flexibility, combined with high tensile strength. A

6-strand cable with a steel core shows an increase of 7.5% in

tensile strength and about 10% in mass in relation to a cable

with a fiber core of the same diameter and construction.


P á g i n a | 60

READING – Example: cable 6X19 + AF - the first number (6) indicates the

number of strands with which the cable is built: the second number (19) specifies the

amount of wires that make up each strand of the cable and AF indicates the core.

Therefore, cable 6X19+AF has 6 strands, each having 19 wires, i.e., a total of 114

strands of wire and fiber core.

TORSION - When the legs are twisted from left to right, it is said that the cable is

of "right torsion" (Z) (Opposite).

When the legs are twisted from right to left, it is said that the cable is of "Left

torsion" (S) (Opposite).

NOTE: The use of the left torsion cable is uncommon for most applications. Before

specifying a left torsion cable, we must consider all of the characteristics of the

application.


P á g i n a | 61

No steel cable with a left torsion must be ordered without first considering all the

features of its use.

In the regular torsion cable, the wires of each leg are twisted in the opposite

direction to the torsion of its own legs (crossed). As a result, the wires at the top of the

legs are positioned approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis of the steel cable.

These cables are stable, have good internal wear and torsion resistance and are easy to

handle. They also have considerable resistance to denting and deformation due to the

short length of exposed wire.

In the Lang torsion cable, the wires of each strand are twisted in the same

direction as its own strands. The external wires are positioned diagonally to the

longitudinal axis of the steel cable and with a greater length of exposure than in the

regular torsion. Due to the fact that the external wires have a greater exposed area, the

torsion provides greater abrasion resistance to the steel cable. They are also more

flexible and have a higher fatigue resistance. They are more subject to internal wear,

distortion and deformation, and have low resistance to denting. In addition, the torsion

steel cables must always have its ends permanently fixed to prevent its distortion, and in

view of this, are not recommended for moving loads with one cable line.

USE 19.1.

Steel cables used in bosun’s chairs, winches and fall arrest devices are of 6x19

construction, and galvanized. There are 6 strands with 19 wires each, twisted around a

core which may be of steel or fiber;

Measuring the diameter: the diameter of the steel cable is that of its maximum

circumference;

Handling of the steel cable: the steel cable must be properly rolled and unrolled, in

order not to be easily damaged by permanent deformation and formation of closed

knots. If the cable is mishandled, i.e. rolled or unrolled without turning roller or reel, the

cable will be twisted and form a loop. With the closed loop, the cable will already be

damaged and need to be replaced or cut on site.

Important: even if a knot is apparently straightened, the cable can never provide

maximum service, according to the guaranteed capacity. Using a cable with this defect

becomes dangerous and can cause severe accidents.


P á g i n a | 62

CATEGORY OF TRACTION RESISTANCE OF CABLES AND WIRES 19.2.

STEEL CABLE LUBRICATION 19.3.

The lubrication of steel cables is very important for their protection against

corrosion and also to reduce chafing due to the relative movement of its legs, wires and

the steel cable against parts of the equipment such as pulleys and drums. Lubrication of

a steel cable is as important as the lubrication of a machine.

NOTE: Never use burnt oil to lubricate a steel cable as it contains small metal

particles that will chafe against the cable, besides being an acidic product and offers few

of the features that a good lubricant must have.

A suitable lubricant for steel cables must have the following characteristics:

Be chemically neutral;

Have good adhesion;

Having a viscosity able to penetrate

between the strands and other wires;

Be stable under operating conditions;

Protect against corrosion; and be compatible with the original lubricant.


P á g i n a | 63

TEST INSPECTION 19.4.

Before each use, the steel cable must be fully inspected for the following

problems:

Note: Inspections of steel cables are conducted periodically every 6 months by a

qualified and trained professional.

The first inspection to be made on a steel cable is the Receiving Inspection, which

must ensure that the material is as requested and has a quality certificate issued by the

manufacturer.

STEEL CABLE INSPECTION 20.

The visual inspection must be performed daily in steel cables used in equipment

for cargo handling and before each use for loops. Any doubt as to the safety conditions

of the material must be informed and the steel cable inspected by a qualified person.

The frequency of Periodic Inspection must be defined by factors such as: type of

equipment, environmental conditions, operating conditions, results of previous

inspections and service time of the steel cable.

For steel cable loops, this inspection must be performed at intervals not exceeding

six months, and be more frequent when approaching the end of its useful life. It is

important to record the inspection results.

The electromagnetic inspection of steel cables consists of passing the cable

through the apparatus with permanent magnets capable of magnetizing it with a strong

enough field to saturate the cable. The discontinuities in the cable are perceived by hall

sensors through the distortions in the lines of the magnetic flux. Those variations in

magnetic flux lines determine the located defects, that is, the broken wires.


P á g i n a | 64

Closed knot formation due to mishandling.

Number of broken wires

4.8 mm diameter steel cable: it must be inspected in 3 cm long sections

and replaced if, in a section, there are 6 broken wires or if, in one strand,

there are 3 broken wires;

8 mm diameter steel cable: it must be inspected in 5 cm long sections and

replaced if, there are 6 broken wires in a section or if, in one strand, there

are 3 broken wires.

Corrosion

Verify the incidence of corrosion in galvanizing.


P á g i n a | 65

MARKING AND COLOR CODE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT 21.

All lifting equipment must be marked with their safe working load (SWL) in a

permanent and clearly visible manner, and must be marked exclusively to facilitate the

identification of the equipment. A system of color coding must be used in conjunction

with the requirements of testing and examination to assist in the identification of the

lifting equipment. Color coding must be comprised of three (3) colors: green, yellow and

blue and can be used in rotation in that order.

a) If an entire cable has problems, it must be retired. In case of localized

problems, it can be cut and used.

b) Upon observing a steel cable, if a serious defect is located, the cable must

be replaced, even if the permissible number of broken wires has not

reached the limit contained in the table, or even without any broken wires.

The visual inspection of a cable overrides any standard or method of replacement.

To place an order, simply use the number assigned by the company, adding the

final size desired. Also, all grips must be tested to twice the working load limit and an

updated certificate for each loop. Each grip has a metal glove with a description of the

load limit and the number of the test certificate. Each grip must have a metal tag with

the following information:

Manufacturer´s Name;

Specification;

Date of test;

Number of test certificate;

Working load limit (WLL);

Length and diameter.


P á g i n a | 66

Recommendations for exchanging steel cable

When there is a visible number of broken wires and the mostly damaged

section is above the limit set in the Standard;

When there are one or more broken wires near the installed accessory

(clamp, socket, etc.);

When there is a 15% reduction of the nominal diameter;

When there are crushed or dented strands;

When the deformation reaches, at the unfavorable point, a misalignment

greater than 1/3 of the diameter of the cable;

When a state of corrosion is observed.

NOTE: Do not use any accessories that has an expired Certificate or does not have

its nameplate, color code.

Maintenance

Keep it away from abrasive, harmful chemicals (acids), and sharp corners;

Store it in a dry space, in a spool, for easy handling without structural

torsion;

Keep all certificates for the steel cables and accessories in an organized

manner.

Eyebolt with clamps

The clamps must be assembled correctly and retightened after beginning to use

steel cable.

Record of inspections

Maintaining a proper record is important for safe load handling. The record

must describe the sling and list the identification marks;

Periods of inspection and testing must be determined and included in the

record;

The loop condition and results of all tests must be recorded after each

inspection;

The motive and description of any repair must be recorded;

Record keeping is considered a continuous description, ensuring that the

loop is being inspected, tested and properly maintained and is in good

working order.

What is Regulation of Conformity Assessment - RAC?

Regulation of Conformity Assessment - RAC is the document that contains specific

rules, drafted and approved by INMETRO through an Ordinance, to meet the accredited

bodies, in the perfect fulfillment of conformity assessment services.

Through the RAC, INMETRO establishes criteria for the conformity assessment

program for steel cables of general use, establishing two distinct models of choice for

certification for obtaining and maintaining authorization for the use of the Conformity

Identification Seal:

The RAC must be followed by all companies that manufacture, import or sell

general use steel cables throughout the Brazilian territory. Those who sell steel cables

for general use and do not meet the requirements of the RAC will be subject to harsh

penalties.

The goal of the RAC is to establish criteria for identifying the appropriate level of

safety through the mechanism of compulsory certification, meeting the requirements of

standard ABNT NBR ISO 2408:2008.

If there is any type of accident and the cable used is not in accordance to the RAC,

is there is some kind of civil penalty to the distributor and/or the buyer?

The Consumer Defense Code requires that all who compete in releasing products

or services on the market are jointly and severally liable. Thus, the distributor and / or

buyer are also liable.

The steel cables must be in accordance with

INMETRO Ordinances No. 176/2009 and 209/2009.

STRAPS (FIBER SLINGS) 22.

All users must be aware that fiber slings or flat straps are particularly susceptible

to damage, and have a potentially higher risk. It is very important that they are

completely inspected before and after use.

Recommendations for use:

Inspect the sling carefully before lifting, looking for signs of damage such as

cuts, tears, abrasions, broken points or particles of strange bodies in the

fibers. Those that are damaged are unsafe and must be destroyed to

prevent future use;

In the case of round slings protected by an external jacket, any further cuts

in the jacket may indicate internal damage, so they must not be used and

must be destroyed;

Ensure that they have not been exposed to heat and are kept away from

surfaces contaminated with oil, grease and chemicals.


P á g i n a | 68

Endless slings

These sling loops consist of polyester straps

sewn in a ring shape. They can be used as round

straps, but with limitations in the workloads.

Round slings

Consists of endless slings made from polyester straps with single or double covers

to protect them from dirt and/or wear.

There are two types of covers: double cover stitch, which provides a more rigid

strap, or seamless, for a softer version.

Slings with two reinforced eyes

These slings are loops with eyes at each end. Round slings can have eyebolts, but

its more robust format with a fiber core and cover makes it

more suitable for lifting heavier loads. They are often used due

to the fact that its malleability prevents damage to the

material being hoisted.


P á g i n a | 69

PROCEDURES FOR THE SAFE USE OF SLINGS 22.1.

Never use damaged slings;

The slings must be examined regularly by a qualified person. The inspection

is essential to ensure the highest level of safety in Cargo Handling

operations;

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and never apply overload in the

accessory. Choose the type of sling suitable for your task;

Properly position the sling in a balanced manner to facilitate removal. Do

not support directly on the floor, use wedges;

Do not use on parts with sharp corners or edges;

Always keep the slings clean and preserved, stored in a dry place, protected

from sunlight, chemical and mechanical agents;

Repairs can only be performed by the manufacturer.

NOTE: In accordance with the safety policy of each organization, a Permit for

Work (WP) for the use of SLINGS is required.


P á g i n a | 70

SAFETY ROPES 23.

Used to support the boson’s chair or as a life line for fixing the fall arrest device

and safety harness, or even as a connecting element from that to the life line, they must

meet the specifications of the Ministry of Labor and Employment.

Inspection: Before each use, the rope must be fully inspected. External inspection:

the covering of the rope must be perfect, constant diameter, uncut, burnt parts in the

wires, without significant wear by abrasion and without suspicion of contamination by a

chemical harmful to its structure.

Internal inspection: touching it at whole length, the rope must not show lumps,

inconsistencies to the fold, slimming of the core (inside), movement or gap between

covering and core.

Important: If the entire rope has problems, it must be retired. If the problems are

localized, it can be cut and used.

Maintenance: The safety rope must be used by a single worker who is responsible

for its care. Theoretically, the useful life of the rope cannot be predetermined, depending

on the frequency and care during use, degree of exposure to chemicals, abrasive

elements and sunlight.

Practically, for polyamide ropes, we adopt a useful life of no more than four years

after its manufacture. In very severe work situations, it is customary to retire it after a

year.


P á g i n a | 71

TOOLS AND HARDWARE 24.

General safety precautions with hand tools

These tools are used to force materials, packaging, boxes and to move objects

over smooth surfaces

A crowbar-type lever is used to move wagons off of a railroad. A piece of wood,

for example, cannot replace it with the same safety. Misused levers, in general, may

cause serious accidents. A lever must be used, taking into account the size, type and

length suitable for each job.

An overloaded lever can bend and, upon losing its original form, hampers its

application.

Stretching its length, through a coupling or pipe to increase its leverage may

cause the fall of a worker with serious consequences.

It must be stored in appropriate places, for outside a safe place, it may fall and

cause an accident.

1. Use the proper type according to the work;

2. Use an appropriate sized tool for the job to be performed. A larger tool is

always better than having to adapt a force pipe;

3. Inspect tools frequently for cracking, worn teeth, weak springs, damaged or

warped surfaces. Repair or replace those that are not in good conditions. It

is much safer to pull than to push a tool. Fixed teeth are stronger than

mobile ones, thereby the pulling force must be directed towards the fixed

teeth;

a) Do not try to work with a skewed tool towards the object to be

tightened. Use an angular connection in order to get a perfect fit with

the nut or bolt;

b) Never use a wrench as a hammer;

c) Make sure the teeth of a pipe wrench are clean and in perfect

condition;


P á g i n a | 72

d) Place your hands and body in order to protect yourself from possible

injury.

e) Probably the main reason why workers often hurt themselves using

wrenches is that many do not work with enough seriousness. If there

were no risk, any fool could use a wrench without hurting himself.

LOAD ACCESSORY 25.

They are devices (hardware) used for assembling slings and cargo lashings.

Clips

"U" shaped piece with a threaded case at both ends with a striated body to fix the

cable. Provides maximum efficiency of 85% of the cable’s breaking point. Clips must

always be placed with even spacing and with nuts of cases towards the leg of the cable

leg that will undergo tension. The ightening must be gradual, uniform and periodic.

Note: The use of manufactured steel cables must meet the current procedures.

Portalurit (Glove)

Type of hand that fixes the eyebolt to the end of the cable. It has 100% efficiency

from the cable rupture point.


P á g i n a | 73

Eyebolt

Loop made with own leaded or braided cable (sewn), plain with thimble.

Loop with eyebolts and thimbles at the ends.

Thimble

Accessory used to protect and give rigidity to the loop

of the steel cable.

Load shackle

Formed by two parts: the body and bolt (shackle bolt), easily removable, which is

used for securing the load. The shackles have their variable load capacity and it comes

stamped on the part itself. They must be replaced when any deformation or wear

exceeds 10% of its diameter.

Note: Make sure color coding is up to date and marked with its Safe Working Load

(SWL) clearly visible and permanent.

The recommended shackle is bow or anchor type equipped with safety pin, i.e.,

screw, nut and split pin. Never replace the high degree shackle bolt with a pattern screw,

they are not able to bear the load.

Note: Never modify the shackle or alter its

manufactured characteristics.


P á g i n a | 74

Load Shackles

Shackle Grade M and Grade T - AMA

O Ring

Accessory that interconnects the sling with the cargo handling

equipment. The load capacity varies according to the dimensions.

Irregularities, cracks, deformations, wear above 10% of the original

diameter when detected, must be replaced.

Winch Hook

Formed by a curved piece, used in the interconnection with

loads. The load capacity varies depending on the dimensions.

Irregularities, torsion greater than 10 degrees, the latch opening

greater than 15% of the original, cracking, wear greater than

10% of the original diameter when detected, the winch hook

must be replaced.

Note - Never use equipment and accessories that do not have updated

certifications.


P á g i n a | 75

Referências de Fabricação

Sling

Devices composed of cables, chains or straps and accessories designed to promote

the interconnection between the equipment and cargo handling equipment. If the slings

are correctly adjusted, without torsion in the legs. If using two slings to hoist a load,

ensure that each leg has the capacity of the total weight to be lifted. Confirmation that

the size and type of bolt are correct for the shackle type.

NOTE: Check slings and accessories are certified and comply with updated color

coding, and are marked with the Safe Working Load (SWL) clearly visible and

permanent.

P á g i n a | 77

MANUAL WINCHES 27.

There are two basic types of winches on the platforms. One is the chain (hoist).

And another is the sliding type.

The chain winch is more commonly called a hoist. It is simply a system of reducing

gears connected to a master gear by a chain. In order to lift a weight, pull up on the

longer side of the chain, to lower it, pull it down on the other side. There are load limits

for this device. Do not exceed these limits, the chains cannot bear the excess.

There are two sliders, the chain one and steel cable one. The chain ones are

simply packed with a ratchet steering bar. By placing the ratchet in the neutral position

and releasing the brake, the chain moves freely up and down.

The sliding type with steel cable is also a tool for light jobs, in the same way as

that of the chain hoist. In both types, do not exceed the established load limits.

Safety Precautions with chain winch

Use the appropriate chain according to the type of work (weight being

lifted). The chains tend to be visibly marked with their capacity in tons;

There must be a man capable of pulling the chain with ease. If not, use a

larger chain;

The weights must not be lifted to any height without the supervision of an

observer or before taking precautions to avoid tipping the load;

The load chain must not be wrapped around the load to be lifted. Use grips;

Do not use a connector to link two or more pieces of steel cable;

Always place the load in the center of the winch, never at the end. The

winch is designed to bear the weight of the load in the center: using the tip

to bear the load will cause stress at an non-designed end);

Inspect the chains periodically. Do not put oil in the clutch. Lubricate and

measure the chains as often as they are used. Do not weld the damaged

links, if the chain is broken or cracked, replace the chain;

Keep equipment in good repair or discard it;


P á g i n a | 78

Do not use the winch chain as a grip;

Keep the winch in line with the load;

It is forbidden to bend the chain when it is under stress;

Be certain the position of your feet (base) before pulling the lever to

prevent slips, falls or fatigue;

Visually inspect for defects before use.

NOTE: Winches and hoists must be fixed to pre-established, tested and certified

points such as: eyebolts and hoist rails. Other points must be carefully studied and

released by a qualified professional.

ENVIRONMENT ORGANIZATION 27.1.

Being organized means cleanliness. It means a place for everything and

everything in its place. Being organized means not letting tools, parts,

objects, debris, or even trash scattered everywhere.

All passages, stairs, corridors must be kept clean without obstacles such as

tools, boxes, cans, steel plates or hoses.

The deck of platforms, main deck and other work areas must be kept clean

and free of hand tools, cans of chemicals, hoses or any material that could

obstruct passage.

After finishing work, all tools must be cleaned, checked for damage,

repaired and stored in their proper places.

There must be adequate supports to store pipes, chains, stabilizers or other

objects that may fall during the movement of the platform.

NOTE: Winches and hoists must be secured at pre-established, tested and certified

points such as eyebolts and hoist rails. Other points must be carefully studied and

authorized by a qualified professional.

SAFETY IN CRANE OPERATIONS 28.


P á g i n a | 79

NOTE: All cranes installed on the Operational Unit must have a Load Cell installed,

calibrated and certified and in perfect working order.

LOAD CELLS 28.1.

Monitors lifted loads, boom length, angle and turning radius; has an audible and

visual alarm of the predetermined values, excellent assistant in operations where safety

in cargo handling is critical.

The main equipment employed to lift and move material at the rigs is the pedestal

crane. These cranes have a load capacity ranging from 15 tons to over 45 tons. The

typical pedestal crane performs three basic tasks. It is capable of moving the boom up

and down.

Load Table

It is a table containing the capacity (height, weight, operating radius) of

each crane. For a safe operation, the height limits and capacity of each

device must be complied with. The operating radius is also taken into

account in this calculation;

Note: The maximum load table under all conditions of use, written in Portuguese,

must be posted inside the cabin within easy view of the operator (NR-34-10:13-d).


P á g i n a | 80


P á g i n a | 81

Crane designed especially for offshore platforms, for use in cargo handling

on the platform and from the supply vessel to the platform and vice versa;

It is able to lift and lower loads with

cable or cables. On most drilling

platforms, these cranes can perform a 360

degree turn with the boom. The

movement of the boom upwards and

downwards, the radius of the lifting point

can be controlled. In a 20-ton crane, for

example, the maximum weight that it can

safely lift is 20 tons, but this can only be

done with the boom at the highest angle

and a minimum of boom extension;

As the boom length is increased or the angle is reduced, the limit also decreases.

These load limits are also just for the "load cable" or the main block. The boom

extension line or fast line will have a much lower load capacity. On most platforms, the

highest load capacity limit of the extension line of the boom is 10,000 pounds (whip

line).

Do not exceed the capacity of these cranes. An inoperable crane can halt

operations on a platform.

Note: Crane operators and signalmen must comply with the rules at all times,

and in addition to the rules specified for specific types of cargo handling operations.

Os alarmes associados aos limites estabelecidos pelo gráfico de cargas com

relação ao ângulo da lança nunca devem ser excedidos nem ignorados.

Alarms associated with the limits established by the loads graph with

respect to the angle of the boom must never be exceeded or ignored.

There must be at least two members of the deck crew (a signalman and a

roustabout) directly involved in all cargo handling operations;

The main load being hoisted must not exceed the load rating graph

whenever there is a lift;

Communications by radio or connected intercom must have its functions

fully tested and confirmed as operational;

Any closed circuit television that monitors

the work area is considered an aid and

not a replacement for any of the

operators, signalmen and rigger.

By directing the crane in blind zones, in

the transport of personnel and other


P á g i n a | 82

lifting operations when radio communication is necessary, confirmatory

communication must be used.

Crane capable of operating in deep waters. These cranes must have a system

called heave compensator which is capable of reducing the transmission of vertical

movements of the ship to the tip of the crane cable. It increases the operability of the

vessel in rough seas;

For the launching and lifting of Remotely operated vehicles (ROV), two Launch and

Recovery Systems (called LARS) are used - one on each side of the vessel. They will be

positioned inside the ROV garages (see position in the overall arrangement) and will be

capable of launching the ROV over 3 meters from the side of the vessel.


P á g i n a | 83

CRANE SAFETY DEVICES 28.2.

For the protection of personnel, lifting equipment and operations, several safety

requirements must be established by the Manager of the offshore installation;

The crane boom and the load cables must be activated by the "power up" and

"power down" controls. Free descents are not allowed;

The boom, pitch device and load line wire reel must be equipped with a

locking device to prevent the cargo from sliding;

All moving parts of the power train must be properly secured in the vicinity

of the maneuvering personnel;

The equipment of the crane must be stopped before performing repairs,

adjustments or maintenance;

On most platforms and vessels, the primary responsibility of the signalman

or load handling assistant is to assist the crane operator in securing load

and guiding crane movements during the movement of cargo from one

place to another on the platform or launching a ROV and LINES from a

supply boat to the platform / vessel or vice versa;

During these operations, the crane operator depends on the signalman to

see for him. What the signalman actually does is to tell the operator exactly

"what" and "when to do";


P á g i n a | 84

This is done by a system of manual signals. These signals are standardized

across all industries.

FORKLIFTS 29.

Motor vehicle designed for lifting, carrying and positioning materials. It is built on

the seesaw system, in which the load placed on the forks is balanced by the weight of

the machine.

The forklift is constructed in such a manner that the operating principle is the

same as the "seesaw”. Therefore, the load placed on the forks must be balanced by a

counterweight equal to the weight of the load placed on the other side, since the Balance

Point or Center of Gravity is in the middle of the seesaw.

Toda empilhadeira tem a sua capacidade de

carga especificada a um determinado centro de

carga, isto em virtude de transportar sua carga fora

da base dos seus eixos, ao contrario do que acontece

com uma carga transportada por caminhão.

O centro

de carga (D) é a

medida tomada a partir da face anterior dos garfos

até o centro da carga. Tem-se como norma

especificar as empilhadeiras até 4.999 a 50 cm de

centro de carga e, dessa capacidade em diante, 60

cm.

If the weight of the load exceeds the rated capacity of

the forklift or the load center is beyond specifications, there

may be an imbalance, resulting in tipping, with serious damage

to both the operator and to the equipment or the load.


P á g i n a | 85

The stability triangle formed by the suspension points of the machine are: Pivot

pin of rear axle and each of the rear wheels.

Forklift operations must comply with the following rules:

Be aware of its operation and maintenance;

Operations must be carried out at reduced speed and safely to avoid losses,

material damage and injury to personnel;

The vehicle must not be operated forward when carrying loads that block

the operator's view;

The operator must not leave the forklift with the engine running. The engine

must be turned off and the brakes applied before leaving the forklift;

Areas that hinder the traction of the wheels must be avoided. Wet ground,

spilled oil, ice on the ground, etc. If possible, these causes must be

eliminated;


P á g i n a | 86

At intersections or locations without vision, the operator must sound the

horn;

Attention regarding the height and width limits of the working area;

The operator must take all care near pipes or tanks of chemicals to avoid

collisions and possible perforation;

It is forbidden to carry hitchhikers on the forklift;

People near the forklift must be vigilant to avoid accidents;

The height and width of the load must be proportional to the routes to be

followed;

No load may be left blocking emergency exits, fire extinguishers or other

lifesaving devices;

The forklift booms must be kept retracted when not in use to prevent

tripping;

Forklifts must not be used to as personnel elevators;

Caution regarding allowed load limits;

Operator must always turn the engine off and remove the keys when the

forklift is not in use;

Equipment operators of motorized transports must be trained and may only

drive during working hours with an identification card with the name and

photograph in a visible place (NR-11);

The safe working load (SWL) must be clearly identified on the forklift;

Perform routine inspections on the operating systems, the fluid levels,

brakes, lights, leaks, tire calibration etc., before leaving;

The forks must be between 150mm (6 ") and 300 mm (12") from the

ground.

Forklift Load Momentum

NOTE: The sum of these two momentums (torques) for the equipment and cargo

must not exceed the maximum momentum recommended by the Forklift manufacturer.


P á g i n a | 87

The Forklift Load Momentum will be: distance between the axis and the front face of the

fork support + position of the center of gravity (CG) of the load X forklift load capacity =

Kg.mm

Center of Gravity (CG) is the term most used to express the center of mass (CM)

of a body. The Center of Gravity is simply an median position of the distribution of the

weight force. Note that the definitions of CM and CG are different: the first refers to the

distribution of mass, the other to the distribution of weight. Since the weight force

exerted on a body mass (M) is proportional to its mass, CG and CM refer to the same

point of a body in regions close to the surface.

GRAPH RELATED TO ACCIDENTS WITH FORKLIFT 30.

In a counterbalanced four-wheel forklift, the center of gravity

is ahead of the rear axle at the narrowest point of the triangle of

stability.

In an articulated forklift, the triangle of stability is reversed,

with the center of gravity at the widest point of the triangle.

With an articulated forklift, the center of gravity does not

change significantly when the forklift is lifting a load.

If the weight of the load exceeds the rated

capacity of the forklift or the load center is beyond its

specifications, there may be an imbalance and consequent tipping, with

serious damage to both the operator and the equipment or the load.

SAFETY IN TRAVELING CRANE OPERATIONS 31.

Only personnel qualified, trained and approved in

specific tests may be authorized to operate Traveling

Cranes.

All Traveling Crane operators must undergo specific

medical examinations, and will only be able to operate

such equipment when considered appropriate by the

physician.

All operators of mobile transportation equipment (winches, forklifts, traveling

cranes) will be identified by a specific badge, which must contain the name, photo, type

of equipment authorized to operate, expiration date, date and signature of the issuer.

The operator must wear the badge in a visible location to facilitate his/her

identification.

Useful tips:

Approach the load;

Assess weight and other loading conditions.

Know the capacity of the traveling crane.

Select the auxiliary steel cable according to

the type of load and weight. Check the

angle of the cables. See the table of weights

and cable capacity.

Secure the cargo properly.

Proceed to lifting slowly and carefully.

Use reduced speed.

Make sure that there is enough space to lift the load.

Take special care with aerial installations such as water, gas, electric pipes,

etc.

Note if the load is secured, especially in the case of loose parts.

Lift the load a bit, if it tips to one side, lower it and adjust the balance.

Do not pass the load over people or allow them to pass under the load.

Remember: "Anyone can operate Traveling Cranes, but only a trained operator

can do so safely”.

HAND SIGNALS FOR TRAVELING CRANES 32.

HAND SIGNALS AND COMMUNICATION 32.1.

ConvencionaL Signs 32.1.1.

According to ABNT NBR11436 - Hand Signals for Cargo Handling by Means of

Mechanical Lifting Equipment.

Standardized hand signals by ANSI B30.5 used to control operations with Cargo

Handling Equipment.

During the execution of the services, standardized hand signals by ANSI B30.5 as

ANNEX B-CONVENTIONAL SIGNALS must be used, unless a sound system

communication is used (telephone, radio or equivalent). Signals must be recognizable

(clear), audible and visible at all times. An operator must not answer unless the signs

are clearly understood.

Conventional Signals must be posted in a visible place in the Container or Room or

Cabin of the Cargo Handling Team or on the Hoisting Equipment.

Knowledge and use of Conventional Signals must be assured for personnel

involved in cargo handling operations.

For operations that are not covered by the signal table or special conditions,

additions or modifications of standardized signs must be ordered. In such cases, these


P á g i n a | 90

special signals must be known and agreed upon in advance by the crane operator and

the signalman and must not conflict with or be potentially confused with standardized

signals.

The Crane Operator and Signalman must, before starting the operation, review

the Conventional Signals to ensure full understanding. If it is necessary to provide the

crane operator with other instructions, that must be done before starting the operation

or stopping the crane when moving. When it is necessary for operations to be controlled

by signals, a signalman must be scheduled to work with the crane. The signalman must:

Be qualified with experience in operations and knowledge of standard hand

signals;

Be positioned so as to be seen by the operator and make sure that the

signals can be seen. This view must provide a clear view of the load and the

area of crane operation;

Direct load to prevent the passage of people;

Any personnel unnecessary to the operation must be kept away from the

crane’s area of operation. The operator will comply immediately with an

emergency stop signal given by any person.

Hand signals for controlling operation of cargo handling equipment, according to

standard ABNT NBR11436 - Hand Signals for Cargo Handling by Means of Mechanical

Lifting Equipment.

KNOTS 33.

CLOVE HITCH 33.1.

This knot is used to tie a rope around a fixed point when stress (tension) is

expected from both sides of the knot. It must not be used if only one part is required,

because then, this knot may slip dangerously.

BOWLINE 33.2.

It is certainly one of the most useful types of knots. It is easy to be done, is very

strong, does not slip and is not tightened under tension, and can be easily undone if

necessary.

To make the bowline, one must make a loop at the end of the rope, pass the end

of the rope inside the loop, and then, go behind the end of the rope, going back inside

the loop and tightening the bowline that was formed.
