Presentation aboutResponsibilities of LiftingEngineer and Safe Lifting

REGARDS:

ENGR SYEDSHAH



Introduction

The role of the lifting team, which includes the lifting Engineer, crane operator, rigger

crucial to ensure safe lifting activities at workplaces. Many of past accidents had show

planning, co-ordination and supervision of the lifting work could have prevented the a

needless loss of lives. In particular,

the role of the lifting Engineer & supervisor is key especially given the collaborativ

work and the importance of ensuring that The various parties are trained and compe

they carry out their roles safely and effectively. this presentation will not only prov

roles and responsibilities of lifting Engineer & upervisor but also information on c

associated with lifting, "ifting #lans, $isk %ssessment $%', #ermit-to-(ork #T(

Skills, interests and qualities

%s a lift engineer, you will need)

%n understanding of engineering drawings and principles

kills in electrical and*or mechanical work

E+cellent problem-solving skills

ood communication and customer care skills

ood organi!ational skills to plan workloads

The ability to work without close supervision

IT skills for updating records and writing reports

amiliarity with %/ packages if involved in design work

% willingness to work fle+ibly

%n awareness of industry guidelines on health and safety



Common Systemic Lapses Involving LiftingActivities

%ccidents involving lifting activities occur due to many reasons. 0owever, investigations into such

reveal that the primary causes could be attributed to poor planning, supervision and co-ordination o

operations

%bsence or lack of $% prior to lifting operation.

"ack of implementation of relevant control measures identified in $%.

%bsence or lack of proper "ifting #lan for each lifting operation.

%bsence or lack of a #T( system to manage the lifting operation.

ailure to adopt a proper rigging method for the lifting operation.

#oor maintenance of lifting e1uipment e.g., safety devices, lifting gears'.

%nd many more



Responsibilities of Lifting Engineer &Supervisor

#lanning and coordination of lifting operation

Early preliminary study and budgeting for heavy lifting pro2ects

/eveloping detailed lifting and load out plans) cranes selection and working circumstances, r

"ifting lugs and lifting beams design and other steel structure design.

alculating 3#, .4.. and weight theoretically and physically using synchronous hydrauli %ssembly and dismantling of heavy cranes according to manufacturer manual.

upervising e+ecution of heavy lifting and load out operations.

%ttending heavy lifting meetings both internally and e+ternally with direct client interface.



Responsibilities of Lifting Engineer &Supervisor

Inspection of cranes and lifting e1uipment as they are delivered to site, including inspection of c

maintenance records etc.

#rovide technical support to pro2ect manager as well as to lifting supervisors.

/eveloping complete drawings and technical documents and calculation sheets

ensuring that the ground conditions are safe for any lifting operation to be performed by mobile

be present during all lifting operations5 and

if unsafe conditions are reported to him, to take suitable measures to rectify the conditions so th

operation can be conducted safely.



Common a!ards Associated "it# $nsecureSlippage of Loads

any accidents occurred due to unsecured loads or loads t#at slipped o' durifollo"ing are some common #a!ards associated "it# lifting of loads*

defective or damaged lifting gears suc# as slings, #ooks, inserts, eyes, s#a

improper rigging of loads+

lack of proper receptacles for loose loads suc# as bricks+ or

under capacity of lifting gears(



Risk Assessment and ermit-to-.ork

0a!ard Identification

$isk Evaluation

$isk ontrol

#ermit-to-(ork #T(' ystem is a system to manage and control certain types of ha!ardous

lifting operations. The contractor6s supervisor coordinating the lifting operation is to apply f

carry out the lifting operation. In the application for #T(, he should state the scope and conthe lifting operation is to be carried out. %n independent inspection is then conducted on-site

appropriate control measures have been taken to mitigate any foreseeable risks. %fter confir

measures have indeed been taken, the application would then be approved by an authori!ed

etc



re-use Inspection of LiftingEquipment

"ifting Engineer must ensure that the crane operator conduct pre-use inspection before each lifting ope

that the e1uipment is suitable, safe and correctly installed for the lifting operation. The pre-use checks

visual inspection of the lifting e1uipment5

functional test of the lifting e1uipment5

functional test of the safety system and devices5 and

functional test of the emergency stop device.

"ifting gears must also be inspected to ensure that they are free of any faults or defects before any lifti

begin.

"ifting supervisor must not allow the lifting operation to be carried out if any defects are spotted durin

checks by the crane operator until all the faults of the cranes are fully rectified. imilarly, lifting gears

if defects are spotted and reported by the riggers.



re-use Inspection of LiftingEquipment

%n authori!ed e+aminer must also be engaged to inspect the lifting e1uipment)

%fter modification or repairs of its load bearing components5

(hen there is a change in e1uipment configuration, such as alteration of the boom le

crane height5 or %fter an incident or accident involving the lifting e1uipment.



Selection of Lifting /ears for Lifting0perations

actors affecting the choice of lifting gear for each lifting operation are)

(eight and type of load5

%vailable lifting points5

#osition of the centre of gravity of load5

Mode of use

Environment factors e.g., wind speed conditions'.



Estimation of .eig#t of Load

The following may be used as a general guidance to estimate the weight of load going to be lifted

operation.

heck if the weight is marked on the load.

heck if the weight is indicated on any documentation

e.g., shipping documents'.

heck if the weight is indicated on the construction

drawing of the load.

If the load is still on a trailer or truck, weigh it physically

over a bridge.
