IV. Certification for CPCS qualified appointed person V. CPCS certificate required for mobile crane driver

VI. 12 monthly examination cert for mobile crane

06.00hrs Mobile crane arrives on site and rigs in position as indicated on drawing. All team members to attend site

induction and method statement briefing. Ready for work 07.00am. Project Contractor to carry out site specific induction

1.

Extend outriggers to ½ specified rigging position on outrigger pans and pin. Set crane level and position mat/ballast transport.

Unload rigger mats and position as required. Fully extend outriggers to specified position and pin.

Offload required amount of ballast if required from transport and fit to crane and pin as per

manufacturer‟s specification. Perform 360 degree stability check, if space available.

Extend the boom to operating length as per manufacturer‟s specification. Check safe load indicator is correctly programmed and that all safety devices and limit

switches are operating correctly. Set and check operation of slew restriction

Crane is now ready for work under customer supervision, in accordance with BS7121, safe use of cranes and manufacturers specification.

Please note the rigging procedure for the Terex Demag AC250 will be carried out as per the manufactures manual and Mobile Crane Suppliermethod statement and risk assessment this will be on site during the rigging and de rigging procedures

As indicated on the attached drawing; the mobile will be placed just outside the entrance to the site. The mobile crane will be working at an approximately 40m radius from the tower crane. The mobile will be positioned in such a way to still allow the 1.2m needed for emergency access to and from the helicopter pad.

Also on the attached drawing it indicates that we plan to re-route the traffic off of the road and through the car park and at all times leaving a 3.1m gap for the vehicles. This new road will be segregated from the works

taking place using road cones and highway tape and there will be a traffic marshal there to police it at all times.

Note: The mobile crane will be fitted with aviation light due to its close proximity to the helicopter landing

pad. In the event of an emergency the hospital is to notify the Van Doorn TCC supervisor immediately so that he may stop work and make the area safe for the helicopter to land that the patient to be manoeuvred along

the designated path to the necessary hospital entrance.

Note: All materials loaded from transport must be supervised at all times by a CPCS Banksman.

All transport drivers are to wear full PPE when exiting the vehicle within the confines of the site;

2. Tower Crane to de-rig and prepare for dismantle. (I.e. remove hoist and trolley ropes).

Tower Crane electrician will remove trolley and hoist limits to enable de-

roping procedure.

The trolley is then travelled to within 2 meters of jib nose.

Using a suitable rope clamp, Clamp the rope just after the final trolley sheath.

Lower the hoist rope to give sufficient “slack rope” under jib.

Trolley out until the hoist rope anchor becomes loose. Unpin anchor from jib nose.

Travel the trolley to the inner most position lower hook block to the ground

Remove the rope clamp and anchor. Hoist the rope back through the trolley

and coil onto hoist drum.

Note: No counter weights should be removed until this procedure has been

completed

Lifting Plans

LOLER 1998 Regulations refer to lifting plans for lifting operations but do not detail the criteria except for tandem lifts. For our lifting operations we pre-empted this with our Slingers and Signallers Guide, which sets out the rules for basic or common lifts.

(See BS7121 Paragraph 3.3). The crane driver and singer/signaller form a partnership of mutual trust in the others ability and

communication by hand or radio is paramount to the success of the task as each is remote from the load at any one time.

Spare Equipment

No operational critical spares required,

PPE

Full harness, hard hats, Safety boots, Hi-viz vest, rigger gloves, and overalls

Time Restrictions

No time restrictions

Welfare

Construction Contractor to provide welfare on site this includes toilets and rest room.

4.0 APPENDIX C – STANDARD PROCEDURES

DISMANTLE METHOD STATEMENT PROCEDURES

(1) All personal protective equipment will be supplied and must be maintained properly and worn at all times

when “on site”.

(2) When erecting or dismantling a safety harness must be worn at all times and used when not protected from falling by handrails or the crane structure.

(3) Generally, Van Doorn are responsible for making sure that both the working area needed and the area around the mobile crane is kept clear at all times. The supervisor must make sure that this is carried out to

his satisfaction.

(4) All procedures to be in accordance with the manufacturer‟s manual. The stated wind speed limitations in the manual must be strictly adhered to, and in case of same restriction being exceeded, or indeed forecast to be

exceeded, all work should be stopped, assuming the work is in a safe condition.

(5) Lines of adequate strength and length to be used to control loads.

(6) Both before and during the operation, all the crew and also the mobile driver, must be kept informed of the procedures to be carried out, and in particular individual duties such as signals and radio controls etc. for

example.

(7) Anything arising to obviate the work being carried out as planned, such as substitution of mobile etc., may be

allowed at the discretion of the supervisor provided that: (a) All Lifts to be assess for safety in both height and weight.

(b) No change allowed in actual planned erection unless allowed for in the manual. (c) Both site and the office to be notified, especially if such change extends the working period.

Changes to be written on the method statement.

If the supervisor considers it is not practicable to carry out the work, both site and the office must be told

immediately


Page 17 of 27

5.0 APPENDIX E – RESCUE PROCEDURES

Each Supervisor will carry a Heightec “Scaffpack” rescue kit and when erecting the crane the rescue kit will be craned

to the top of the crane during the slew ring erection and lowered off to the ground level with the use of a hand line after the final inspection of the crane has been completed. During dismantle operations the rescue kit will be lifted to the top

of the crane on first lift.

During a operation the “Scaffpack” rescue kit will be the first lift to take place, and rescue kit placed in the cab for safe keeping.

The “Scaffpack” kit is designed so that one man can rescue another if they are suspended from the jib by their safety harness. The “Scaffpack” rescue kit uses a three line pulley system that can either lower the person down or lift the

person up into the jib.

All equipment meets the requirements of the PPE Directive – 89/686/EEC

8.0 APPENDIX G – TRANSPORT ACCESS

FIELD OPERATIONS DIRECTORATE Construction Division Technology Unit

ENGINEERING PLANT GROUP

Please find below photograph taken by the HSE, showing our men using a step ladder to gain access to the back of the trailer, which because of the short time our men spend slinging the load, usually from the safety of the inside of the load and stepping off the trailer before the load is lifted, and the fact that our men use their safety harnesses and clip on if slinging the load from the outside i.e. jib sections on the smaller cranes, the HSE have concluded that the system we use is perfectly acceptable.
