See WLPM Lifting Operations Procedure for additional criteria to
define a Critical Lift
28
An anti-two blocking device is equipment, which prevents the load blocks
from coming into physical contact with the head, or crown, blocks, which can
result in damage to the lifting equipment and a dropped load. Anti-two block
devices must be installed on all cranes and hoists and must be kept
operational. Bypassing this device for any reason is prohibited.

All cranes, chain hoists, and lifting equipment shall be tested, inspected and
maintained in accordance with the applicable safety and health regulations
and this program.

Only competent operators, lift leaders and riggers shall perform lifting
operations.

Backhoes, track hoes, front-end loaders and similar earth moving equipment
may be used only for minor incidental lifting. Such use of this equipment shall
comply with the equipment manufacturers requirements, specifications and
designs for lifting use.

The command STOP may be given by anyone and must be obeyed by
everyone including the crane or hoist operator.

29
Lifting will not commence unless an assessment of the lift has
been completed and a competent person has determined the
lift method and equipment.

Lifting will not commence unless the load does not exceed the
dynamic and/or static capacities of the lifting equipment.

Lifting will not commence unless safety devices installed on
lifting equipment are operational.

Lifting will not commence unless a competent person has
visually examined all lifting devices and equipment before each
lift.

30

person and any time a crane is assembled prior to being put
into service
Monthly Inspections are done prior to use and each month
thereafter by a competent person
Daily Inspections are done prior to each shift by a competent
crane operator
Any defective equipment will be repaired before use
32
Standard Hand Signals shall be in accordance to OSHA
regulations

Signal Person Qualifications

Prior to signaling crane operations, all signal persons shall be
tested and demonstrate their qualifications in the following
areas:
Basic understanding of crane operation and limitations,
Standard hand signals described in WLPM Lifting Operations
Procedure, Attachment # 1, Standard Hand Signals for Crane
Operators, whenever hand signals are used,
Standard voice signals are defined and used, whenever voice
signals are used.
33
Signal Person Qualifications
Know the crane limits
Keep persons outside the cranes operating area
Have an unobstructed view of the load and crane or use a
second signal person
Never direct a load over a person
Keep load clear of obstructions
Never let the boom contact the load or another object
Anyone can give an emergency stop signal
34
Moving and Lifting the load

Each lift shall have a TSA completed prior to the lift.

Each lift involving two or more persons shall have a signal person.

Hoisting and rigging operations for all lifts require a designated lift
leader, who shall be present at the lift site during the entire lifting
operation. The designated lift leader shall make certain the load is
correctly rigged. It is recommended that Lift Leader not be the same
person as the crane operator.

All personnel in the vicinity of the crane operations who are not directly
involved with the lift shall stay out of the area of maximum boom radius.
If necessary, the area shall be barricaded to keep personnel out.

Loads shall not be carried over people. Personnel shall not pass under
suspended loads or the loaded crane boom. Never allow anyone to get
close or under the load.
35

Moving and Lifting the load

Work on suspended loads is prohibited. Suspended loads include
the lifting hook, rigging, spreader bars and any other attachments
below the lifting hook.

No one shall be on the load, hook or rigging during hoisting, lowering
or swinging of the load, or traveling of the lifting equipment except as
noted in the Critical Lifts section this procedure.

If the load must remain suspended for any considerable length of
time, the load shall be physically immobilized with a positive acting
mechanical

Tag lines shall be used to control the load. Tags lines will minimize
the danger of grabbing or touching the load. Usually at least two tag
lines are needed.

The load shall be secured and balanced in the sling or lifting device
before it is lifted more than a few inches.
36
Lifts

Lift leader shall be present at the site during lift operations.

A Task Safety Analysis and Level 2 Risk Assessment shall be
completed when the velocity of wind exceeds 20 mph, or lower if so
indicated by the manufacturer. Do not lift loads when winds create
an unsafe or hazardous condition, regardless of wind speed. Lifting
operations shall be suspended when wind speeds reach 30 miles
per hour.

If the visibility of the riggers, hoist crew or load is impaired by
weather conditions such as dust, snow, rain, fog or darkness, lifting
operations must be suspended.

All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of
suspended loads. It is recognized that operators on WLPM
construction projects may work in direct proximity to suspended
loads and may have portions of their bodies under the load.

All personnel shall keep hands out of pinch points while slack is
removed from slings and load lines.
37
Lifts

The gross load should not exceed the dynamic or static capabilities of the lifting
equipment. An evaluation of crane capacity shall be completed for each lift and kept
for the duration of the job. Any load exceeding 80% of the rated crane capability, at
the boom angle that is required to complete the lift should be considered a Critical
Lift.

Power lines are a high potential hazard during any lifting operation. Power lines
within twice the maximum swing radius of the crane, plus the required clearance,
constitutes a Critical Lift.

The minimum clearance between the maximum boom extension, load or load line and
a power line is ten (10) feet for all voltages up to 50 kilovolts (kV). Higher voltage
lines required greater clearances as indicated below.
Normal Voltage (phase to phase) Minimum required
clearance
To 50 kV 10 ft.
Over 50 to 200 kV 15 ft.
Over 750 to 1000 kV 45 ft.
38
Critical Lifts

Additional precautions shall be taken for operations determined
to be Critical Lifts. A critical lift is one in which the dropping,
upset, or collision of parts, components, or assemblies, could
present a potentially unacceptable risk of personnel injury or
property damage. Or it is a lifting designated as a critical lift by
the project because of special circumstances or hazards.

The designated lift leader in charge of each critical lift shall
prepare a Task Safety Analysis (TSA), Level 2 Risk Assessment
(RA), lifting permit and a critical lift plan for safe performance of
the lift. The critical lift plan, TSA and RA must be communicated
to, discussed with, and approved by all personnel involved in
the critical lift.

During Critical Lifts a diagram of the lift and rigging must be
prepared.
39
Critical Lifts

Examples of critical lifts include, but are not limited to:

Lifts exceeding 80% of the crane capacity.

Lifting of personnel. All Lifts of personnel utilizing man baskets
must conform to 29 CFR 1926.550 (g); to include a test lift prior to
personnel being lifted.

Lifting where electric power lines are within twice the maximum
swing radius of the crane, plus the required clearance.

Lifting where the crane operator cannot see the load.

Lifting directly over energized or pressurized equipment.

The use of two or more cranes to simultaneously lift one load.

40
Critical Lifts

Examples of critical lifts include, but are not limited to:

Lifts to be made over normally occupied facilities

When ever the value of the replacement of the item being
lifted is excessive.

When ever the replacement time for the item lifted exceeds
two months.

41
Developing a Critical Lift Plan
The written Critical Lift Plan shall include:
Determine maximum radius/boom length
Determine type/capacity/size of crane
Determine rigging equipment needs
Complete lifting diagrams, critical lift permit
Make the required schematics to determine the necessary configuration
of crane, head room and reach
Check capacities vs. total loads lifted including appropriate deductions
Determine rigging equipment needs
Determine any secondary notifications that need to be made

42
Critical Lift Precautions
Pre-lift Checklist

43
Lifting Permit

The Lifting Permit must be completed prior to operations using a
mobile and tower crane, or any lift determined to be a Critical
Lift.

The following guidance is provided for completing the Lifting
Permit.

All permit line items shall be completed. Signatures are
required on the permit.

The load weight should include the weight of the load,
block, ball, lattice extension, jib, hoist rope, rigging and
any other weight that would affect the gross load.

The crane / hoist must be inspected as required by the
applicable Standard.

A Critical Lift Assessment must be performed before every
lift. A YES response to any of the critical lift criteria listed
above requires the lift leader to perform a Critical Lift Plan.
44
Lifting Permit

Procedures that call for the lifting of personnel by a crane or
derrick are prohibited, unless it can be demonstrated that no other
means are available or that all other options are more hazardous.
If personnel need to be lifted by means of a crane it is a Critical
Lift. The mandatory requirements for lifting personnel can be
found in the OSHA regulations 29CFR1926.550(g).

When eye bolts or other lifting attachments are used they must be
verified to be of sufficient strength and used in accordance with
the manufacturers requirements. The name of the individual that
has verified the mode of attachment must be entered in the
permit.

During the planning of the lift, if clearances from structures are a
concern, an individual must be stationed so they can observe the
clearance and warn of any impeding danger.

If the potential exists for people to move into the area of the lift, a
person shall be assigned to control access to the area.
45
Lifting Permit

During Critical Lifts a diagram of the lift and rigging must be
prepared.

1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Lifting operations are an important aspect of BPs business. Mistakes made during lifting can result
in loss of life via electrocution, falls, crushing injuries, explosions and release of toxic substances.
Property damage and loss of production can be severe when lifts go wrong. Extreme caution must
be used at all times during lifting activities.

This standard provides minimum requirements for safe lifting operations and applies to all Westlake
Property Management (WLPM) Campus locations, construction sites and maintenance operations.
It applies to all hoisting, lifting and rigging equipment and operations, including the hoisting and
lifting equipment utilized on construction sites. Operations covered within the scope of this process
are those associated with lifting operations involving mobile cranes, overhead cranes, tower cranes,
cherry pickers, backhoes, gin pole trucks, etc.

Exception:
Wire rope, ratchet and pawl, or lever-operated hoists, such as come-alongs, are not included in this
procedure and shall not be used as lifting devices. Only fit-for-service types of equipment shall be
used for lifting. Refer to the manufacturers recommendations/requirements for the use, inspection
and maintenance of this type of equipment and/or consult your HSSE advisor.
