1.0 PURPOSE
Cobalt is committed to providing a safe working environment. The Lifting Work Practice is designed to provide guidance that enables Cobalt employees, contractors, and subcontractors meet Cobalt’s minimum requirements for safely operating lifted equipment and lifting accessories.
2.0 SCOPE
This Work Practice applies to all Cobalt owned and operated facilities.
3.0 REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Compliance
Cobalt-approved contractors shall conduct operations in full conformity with this Work Practice.
Contractors are responsible for any costs incurred for conformance with this Work Practice.
3.1.1 Nonconformance Issues
If a contractor delivers a nonconforming transit container to the shore-base, Cobalt shall make a reasonable effort to correct the nonconformance. Contractors are responsible for any costs incurred for inspections and replacement containers or riggings required to safely accommodate a nonconforming container.
If a contractor delivers a nonconforming transit container to the shore-base, the Shore-Base Manager shall note a description of the violation on the Lifting Work Practice Checklist (see Appendix A), and forward to the appropriate Drilling Superintendent or Contract Sponsor.
3.1.2 Conformance Exemptions
If any nonconformance issues cannot be rectified in a timely manner to avoid adverse effect to offshore operations, the Drilling Superintendent or Contract Sponsor can request a waiver of nonconformity if the all of the following criteria are met:
The nonconformity is not a repeat violation by the same contractor.
The Policy Exemption Control Form (see Appendix B) prepared by the Drilling Superintendent or Contract Sponsor is sent via e-mail or fax to the Shore-Base Manager or designee.
Shore-base personnel can safely place the nonconforming transit container into a compliant container.
The nonconformance does not conflict with any class society requirement or regulation, such as DNV, ABS, API, or U.S. DOT, or other Cobalt policy.

The offshore location agrees to handle the nonconforming transit container as outlined in the Policy Exemption Control Form (Appendix B).
The Shore-Base Manager or designee shall ensure that the Policy Exemption Control Form (Appendix B) is sent to the offshore location and that a copy accompanies the manifest to the offshore location.
All exemptions shall be one-time-only and applicable only for a single transit container.
After any conformance exemption, the Drilling Superintendent or Contract Sponsor shall contact the contractor to discuss an action plan to correct the nonconformance issue.
3.2 Lifted Equipment
3.2.1 Transit Containers
The contractor is responsible for reviewing design, construction, and testing to ensure transit containers and lifting accessories meet industry-recognized standards. Any industry-recognized design standard that meets or exceeds the IMDG Code for transit containers (such as DNV 2.7-1) is acceptable.
All transit containers must meet or exceed the following requirements:
Design working stress should be based on 2.5 times the Maximum Gross Weight of the transit container.
Four lifting points are preferred, but two or three may be acceptable if the points meet the requirements of an industry-recognized design standard and are confirmed by a professional engineer.
Lift-eyes should be fabricated to ensure adequate strength so that any one pad-eye can hold the maximum gross weight of the transit container.
Lift-eye holes shall be drilled or bored and must not be flame cut.
Any cheek plates fitted to pad-eyes must be drilled or bored after fitting the cheek plates.
Minimum plate thickness for lift-eyes shall be equal to the shackle spread less 25%.
Lift-eyes shall be oriented in a direction that aligns to the direction of lift; lift-eyes not oriented to the direction of lift shall be confirmed suitable by a professional engineer. Lift-eyes that are bent to meet this requirement are not allowed, and any lift-eyes that are deformed more than 5% shall be rejected.
Lift-eyes should be positioned accurately for even loading of the slings.
Lift-eyes position on the transit container should minimize the risk of the sling fouling on the transit container or fouling other lifts.
ISO twist locks are designed only for vertical loading and may not be used as a substitute for lift-eyes.

All bolted connections used as part of the load-bearing structure must have the minimum Grade 8 bolts or equivalent (stainless steel) and the bolts referenced in the design drawing. At 6-month intervals, 25% of the bolts shall be removed, visually inspected, and replaced if necessary.
Welding on primary load-bearing components must be confirmed as in compliance with AWS D1.1 at minimum.
Front-loading doors must have primary and secondary locking devices/latches and hinges.
Locking mechanisms must be protected from impact loads.
Containers must be equipped with a properly designed storage location to prevent lost or misplaced locking devices when doors are in the unlatched position.
All transit containers up to 25,000 lbs. shall be fitted with forklift pockets.
Forklift pockets shall be designed to minimize trapped debris and must be sufficiently sized to enable the forks to enter full minimum dimensions of 8 × 4 inches (length × height).
The contractor and shore-base personnel must check to ensure that no loose items that present a dropped objects hazard are on, in, or beneath containers, in any fork lift pockets, or on any side base rails.
Containers may not have hooks, tag lines or tie down points, or sharp, jagged uneven edges that could snag slings during lifting.
No items of equipment shall protrude in an unsafe manner outside the periphery of any transit container.
Containers shall have solid floors with suitable drainage holes rather than mesh floors, except specialized carrier containers fabricated to carry specialized tools.
Containers with mesh used on the sides must be fitted with a minimum 4-inch kicker plate to prevent dropped objects from falling, except specialized carrier containers fabricated to carry specialized tools.
Drainage holes must be clear of debris and unblocked.
Contractors must inspect for and remove all loose debris or trash from containers before arrival at shore-base.
Equipment shipped in transit containers shall be secured with a proper mechanism so that the equipment arrives fit-for-purpose.
Transit containers shall be packed and balanced properly with a good center of gravity and consideration for shock loading.
All sensitive or critical equipment in transit containers must be protected against expected road, sea, and air transportation shocks with shock-absorbing pads.

Sensitive, high value cargo and groceries must be packaged to prevent damage from the elements, including sea water and sunlight.
Pallets may be handled with forklifts, but may not be used as an overhead lifting device (that is, putting slings through wooden pallets to lift is not allowed). Palletized equipment is acceptable for transit and must be secured in a pallet box by Cobalt shore-base personnel before transport offshore.
Rope-type cargo nets may not be used as a transit container.
Transit containers may be double-stacked at shore-bases or on rigs if clearly designed for double-stacking.
Transit containers may not be double-stacked for transit to or from rigs or shore-bases.
3.2.2 Vessels and Tanks
Vessels and tanks for transporting liquids of any type shall be labeled according to U.S. DOT requirements and must be equipped with:
Valve-securing devices (such as cable-tied closures).
A vent or pressure relief system appropriate for the transported liquid.
Drip trays under any valves or outlets.
An air inlet valve for vacuum protection.
Guards on any protrusions at which damage of the protrusions could lead to a spill of the transported liquid.
Chemical tanks for hazardous goods and marine pollutants shall meet the IMDG Code.
Non-hazardous and non-marine-pollutant chemicals may be transported in IM 101-type tanks, if designed and certified in accordance with U.S. Code of Federal Regulations or U.S. DOT regulations and in compliance with Maritime Safety Committee recommendations for the fluids handled.
Tanks for non-hazardous chemicals must also be certified to a classification society (such as DNT or ABS) and load/lift tested accordingly, as required by the IMDG Code.
Small volumes of non-hazardous or non-marine-pollutant chemicals can be transported in tote-type tanks certified according to U.S. DOT regulations. Cobalt shall provide crash frames for tote tanks carrying marine pollutants at shore-bases for onward transportation to rigs.
3.2.3 Gas Bottles
Gas bottles of any type shall be shipped in bottle racks. All bottles in bottle racks shall be securely fastened in place.
Bottle racks shall be equipped with secondary fixtures to prevent bottles from falling out of the rack if fastenings are damaged. Chains are not an acceptable secondary securing fixture.

Two-part slings for lifting tubulars shall have a horizontal angle greater than 45° and included angle less than 90°.
Two-part slings should be positioned approximately 25% in from either end of a tubular to minimize hogging and sagging.
Pipe hooks shall not be used with tubulars.
Additionally, personnel shall minimize the use of wood dunnage. Dunnage is only temporarily secured to a load and may be dislodged during a lift, such as in a collision, and create a dropped-objects hazard.
Small quantities of wood dunnage are acceptable to protect sensitive components such as seal surfaces. However, if substantial dunnage is required to support a load, the supported equipment should be transported in a transit container to allow safe transport of the load offshore and removal of the dunnage before lifting the equipment out of the transit container.
3.3 Lifting Appliances
3.3.1 Wire Rope Slings
Before using wire rope slings in a lift, personnel must know and correctly document cargo weights.
Any wire rope sling assembly shall have a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 1.3 times the maximum gross weight of the transit container. All wire rope slings must conform to ANSI/ASME B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184.
Used wire rope slings older than 60 months from the original in-service date must be removed from service and destroyed. Major sling repairs or modifications are not permitted.
