GENERAL GUIDELINES
Purpose/Scope

This work package encompasses all

requirements for installing the auxiliary
skid, to include foundation preps, setting
skid, connecting piping, ship-loose items and
grounding the skid.
Precautions
Only trained and authorized persons shall be permitted
to operate a hoist/crane. Lifting equipment shall not be
loaded beyond its rated load capacity. This includes
superimposed weight on load block or hooks and any
lifting devices such as chains and slings. If hoisting
equipment is used in placing and leveling equipment,
assure it is rated to support, as minimum, the total gross
weight of equipment to be lifted. Hoisting equipment
rated between two and four times the weight of
machinery to be lifted will provide a comfortable safety
margin.
