1. Introduction
In order to provide a safe system of work and to ensure compliance with current legislation
this site lifting plan has been developed and is to be implemented by every member of the
crane team involved with GEG Installation project.
It is vital that all lifting operations are properly planned by a competent person and that the
plan is followed by everyone involved in the operation.
This plan is to be read by all team members involved in lifting operations; this must be done
prior to any lifting being carried out.
It is essential that all team members are fully competent and certified to carry out their
individual roles.
It is essential that all team members are confident that they can fulfil their duties especially
when works may need to be carried out at height.
1.1 Purpose
This document provides the procedure to be used for crane operational for GEG
Installation at Rawa Power Plant.
The key to safe crane operation is having qualified personnel using the correct
equipment in a safe manner. This procedure will outline the issues relating to the
selection of the correct people for the task. It will describe the operational of Lifting and
rigging task to be used by these people as part of a safe and effective crane and rigging
program.
1.2 Scope
This procedure applies to lifting operations of GEG Installation in Rawa Power Plant.
The lift planning process describes the systematic assessment of important load factors
and site factors. It is as applicable to ”heavy” non-routine lifts. Planning a non-routine lift
requires considerable effort. In a lift determined to be complicated non-routine lift, many
of the elements can be determined "by inspection"; and the depth involved in a non-
routine lift will be required. However, the planning process must be followed.
This procedure prohibits a person from riding or travelling on the load, lifting hook, sling,
as built facilities or other lifting medium.
The lifting operation team organization chart is shown below and roles and duties are
continued beneath.

The appointed person is able to delegate his duties to another person but the
responsibilities still remain the appointed persons.

The Lifting Operation Work Leader has authority to stop the lifting operation if he
must be experienced to carry out all relevant duties.
This role can be carried out by the appointed person or may be delegated to someone
with appropriate expertise in lifting operations.

that significant changes have not taken place then lifting operations may proceed
under the requirements of the Lift Plan subject to approval by the lifting engineer.
If the lifting operations have not been carried out before, a competent person will
prepare a Lifting Plan. This has to be initiated by the executing department.
Load weight, shape, centre of gravity and availability of adequate lifting points
To define the lift the following parameters are established:
Initial and final load positions and how it will get there (Described in Appendix B & C
(Described in Appendix C - Drawing of GEG Installation Using Crane 100 tonnes)
The environment in which the Lifting Equipment will be used (Described in Appendix
- Drawing of GEGInstallation Using Crane 100 tonnes)
3.2 Planning
3.2.1 Assesing the lifting operation hazards
For every lifting operation the risks have to be assessed and controlled. KPI will
be carried out Job Safety Analysis (JSA) prior to any lifting operation to identify
associated hazards, their hazard risk level should be reduce until it is safe for
work. The Job Safety Analysis (JSA) format are shown in the Appendix A.
The assesing the risks of hazards will be included the following aspects and

3.3 Execution
3.3.1 Communication of Lifting Plan
Prior to starting of lifting operations a competent person shall hold a Toolbox
Talk with all personnel assigned to carry out the lift. The Person-in-Charge (PIC)
shall be clearly identified and made known to all members of the lift team and
personnel in the proximity.
All personnel involved in the lifting operation shall have their individual
responsibilities clearly allocated.
All personnel should have the opportunity to review the findings of the risk
assessment and the details of the Lifting Plan to ensure that everyone clearly
understands and agrees with the methods and control measures to be used.
(Details described in Appendix D - Lifting Study Form)
Any variation from the agreed Lifting Plan shall result in the job being stopped
