Applicability, all countries are different

We move from less regulations to more responsibility for both employers & employees for the company workingconditions policy.è the industry took and must continue taking initiatives to setup industry standards.


What type of rules do we have?

Legislation National or International law that must be followed.Legislation sometimes refers to norms.In the Netherlands an important, unwritten law principle exists which says that all Dutchpeople are expected to know the law. In practice, the means that people must knowthe spirit on which the rule of law is founded.

Norms, Standards,Codes

To provide one means to conform with the essential health and safety requirements,protection of the environment, protection of assets.Legislation can refer to norms such that they become part of legislation.

Guidelines Document that gives guidance on:Organization, Design methods, Safety factors, Operational Criteria,…Often used by surveying companies

Contract Agreement between 2 or more parties. Can not overrule Legislation!Company Rules Internal company rules. Can be part of contract.EquipmentSpecifications

For example, crane curves, sling certificates, etc

Best Practice /Handbooks

Document explaining how things are “normally” done in the industry.

Legislation and standards USA

The Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) is part of theUNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OFLABOR

OSHA requirements are set by statute, standardsand regulation. These industry norms andstandards then become part of legislation. Inthose situations, these norms become mandatory.For example:ASME B30.5-2004: Mobile and Locomotive Cranesis in the USA a “Legally Binding Document”.


European Directives set out minimum requirements and fundamentalprinciples.

A directive is a legal act provided for in the EU Treaty. European directives set out the minimum standardsfor safety and health in the workplace. The EU directives are implemented through the nationallegislation of Member States.Directive 2009/104/EC – use of work equipmentThe employer shall ensure that every lifting operation involving lifting equipment/accessories is properlyplanned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner. To ensurethis, he should:• nominate a competent person who is suitably trained and experienced to ensure safe lifting

operations,• provide adequate resources to enable lifting operations to be carried out safely,• ensure that all appointees i.e. supervisors, crane operators and operatives with duties under this

procedure are properly trained, licensed, competent and aware of those duties and• confirm by regular monitoring that lifting procedures are being properly implemented.

ISO 12480 (the International Organization for Standardization) provides a veryuseful Standard to help employers to understand and comply with this legalrequirement. This standard is however not legislation.Europe Guidelines are non-binding documents which aim to facilitate theimplementation of European directives.

Singapore, Ministry Of Manpower and WSH

These Regulations (often abbreviated to LOLER) place duties on people andcompanies who own, operate or have control over lifting equipment.

What you should do

If your business or organisation undertakes lifting operations or is involved inproviding lifting equipment for others to use, you must manage and control the risksto avoid any injury or damage.

You must:

• plan them properly

• using people who are sufficiently competent

• supervise them appropriately

• to ensure that they are carried out in a safe manner

What you should know

LOLER is supported by the Safe use of lifting equipment: Approved Code ofPractice (ACOP) and additional free guidance from HSE.

While the ACOP is not law, this has been produced under section 16 of the Health andSafety at Work Act (HSW Act) and has a special status

b) every part of a load and anything attached toit and used in lifting it is of adequate strength.

8 Organisation of lifting operationsEvery employer shall ensure that every liftingoperation involving lifting equipment is:a) properly planned by a competent person;b) appropriately supervised; andc) carried out in a safe manner.



The term 'competent person' is not defined in law.LOLER Approved Code of Practice and guidance

'You should ensure that the person carrying out a thorough examination has such appropriatepractical and theoretical knowledge and experience of the lifting equipment to be thoroughlyexamined as will enable them to detect defects or weaknesses and to assess their importancein relation to the safety and continued use of the lifting equipment.‘UK HSE GuidanceA competent person is not someone who simply has the competence to carry out a particulartask safely. In general terms, the definition of a competent person is someone who has thenecessary skills, experience and knowledge to manage health and safety.OSHA

"competent person" is defined as "one who is capable of identifying existing and predictablehazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, ordangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures toeliminate them”. By way of training and/or experience, a competent person is knowledgeableof applicable standards, is capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the specificoperation, and has the authority to correct them.


What is a 'competent person'?

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) was set up in 1947by ECOSOC (united nations economic and social council) which is one of five regionalcommissions of the United Nations.Resolution ECE /TRANS/SC.3/172/Rev.1/Amend.2 gives information regarding workingwith FLOATING EQUIPMENT AT INLAND WATERS on which persons are present duringoperation shall have sufficient stability.The Netherlands have adopted this resolution as legislation.See: “Reglement onderzoek schepen op de Rijn 1995”http://wetten.overheid.nl/BWBR0025973/2016-12-20, chapter 17Regarding stability the following is applicable,• Lowest freeboard > 0.3m• Sum of heel plus trim < 10 deg• Openings that are < 0.4 m from the water level shall be wheathertight. Openings

shall always be > 0.3 m from the water level.

Hereby the all loads and moments to be taken into account. Wind pressure; turningwhilst under way , current, deck loads, free surfaces, inertia forces etcA reduced residual freeboard of 0.05m is under special conditions allowed. To applyfor this additional stability calculations are to be submitted.For details see:

Regulators’ use of standardsFree!IOGP Report 426

National regulators documents from regulators in fourteencountries, Australia, Brazil, CanadaChina, Denmark, India, Italy, The Netherlands, New Zealand,Norway, Russia, Thailand, United Kingdom and United Stateshave been examined for referencesto standards. In addition IMO rules and EU directives andtheir associated standards have beenreviewed in brief.

LSD: Limit States DesignLRFD: Load and Resistance Factor DesignWSD: Working Stress DesignASD: Allowable Stress Design

WSD and ASD are seen as the older, simpler approach while LSD and LRFD are the newer methods.LSD/LRFD applies factors to the loadings while WSD/ASD applies a safety factor to the yield stress. Inother words:

LRFD: loads * (safety) factor gives stresses < yield stressWSD/ ASD: stress < yield stress * (safety) factor

ASD: Allowable Stress Design

American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC)

– Tension: stension =< 0.60 * syield– Shear: t =< 0.40 * syield– Compression: scompression =< 0.60 * syield– Bending : sbending =< 0.66 * syield– Bearing: sbearing =< 0.90 * syield

ASCE/SEI standards no longer permit the one-third stress increase in allowable stress design


LSD or LRFD and WSD or ASD

Also known as Limit state design (LSD).The factors and the formulae may slightly differfrom code to code.According DNVGL we have in LRFD:– ULS = ultimate limit states– FLS = fatigue limit states– ALS = accidental limit states– SLS = serviceability limit states.In LRFD case “a” and “b” are both to be checked.

In addition, a material factor (γM) is to beconsidered


Load and Resistance Factor Design

Load factors γ f for ULSCombination ofdesign loads

Load categoriesG Q E D

a) 1.3 1.3 0.7 1.0b) 1.0 1.0 1.3 1.0Load categories are:G = permanent loadQ = variable functional loadE = environmental loadD = deformation load

Drawback when using LRFD:ULS-a can not be used for ships. The increasedgravity results to an increased draft.A solution can be to calculate normal stresses foreach load case and then apply the factors to thestresses before combining them to von Misesstresses. This may however give results difficult tounderstand.

IMPORTANTFactoring loads ≠ factoring stresses!Stresses may never be vectorized!!!Use von Mises formulae to combine stresses

How to deal with the variety of regulations?

Since regulations andstandards are notworldwide harmonized,code verification issometimes to be doneagainst variousstandards andregulations.This is an example takenfrom the Moduliftwebsite.
