16. LIFTING OPERATIONS

• A lifting operation is an operation that involves the lifting and lowering of a load. A load is
an item or device, or tool being lifted which could consist of a person or humans. A lifting
operation can be finished manually or using lifting equipment. Manual lifting, preserving,
putting down, sporting, or transferring is regularly called ‘guide dealing of hundreds.
• Lifting operations in production occur throughout the transportation of cloth from the
garage place to the vicinity in which it's far being processed, and all through the processing
of materials. A load includes any material or humans that are lifted or diminished by way of
a lifting system.

17. HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND OPERATORS

All works involving the use of a crane should be planned and a rigging study should be carried
out to ensure that:
17.1. Precautions to be taken during
• Overturning the crane
• Falling objects
• Breaking the boom sling
• Touching overhead power lines
• Collision with obstacles
17.2. The capacity of the crane should be ascertained before use. The following factors
shall be considered:
• Weights and dimensions of loads
• Number and frequency of lifts period for the lifting operation
• Ground conditions
• Other factors
17.3. Operation Points
• The mobile crane shall only be operated on firm, level ground that adequately
supports the weight of the crane and loads.
• Before lifting, completely extend the crane outriggers and make sure that their
stability and firmness are on the ground/floor.
• The weight of the load that is being lifted or shifted shall not exceed the Safe
Working Load (SWL).
• Don’t/never make sharp swings or stop the crane suddenly/accidently or at once.
• Loads shall not be dragged on the ground.

• Adjust the boom length to make sure the crane is operating within the area of the
Safe Operation Radius (SOR).
• When moving uphill or downhill, the CRANE boom angle shall be fixed and adjusted
appropriately to the Safe Working Conditions (SOC).
17.4. Precautions to be followed while using tower crane
• Make sure that the automatic Safe Load Indicator (SLL) is installed.
• Provision of safe access and egress.
• Make sure that the lifting routes shall not come across any building or movement of
personnel beneath the working radius. The crane travel speed shall be as slow as
possible, to make sure the load's stability.
• Be aware of the height of lifting, and the length of the crane's trolley and refer to the
load chart.
• When the tower crane is not in operation, the crane's trolley must be positioned near
the tower at a minimum radius, with the hook raised to its highest position
17.5. Method
• Plan a proper and careful lifting route, to avoid any possible collision with any
persons, objects, or overhead electrical lines. Good plans are always helpful towards
the successful completion of a lifting operation
• Do not drag loads.
• Never ride on a load that is being lifted or moved.
• When the crane is in operation, it must keep a distance of at least 600 mm from any
boundaries or homes.
• When visibility is blocked, the signalman shall render help.
• Lifting the load at a low velocity so that the sling tightens slowly and keeps a
balanced function.
• Nobody needs to stand under the boom or load.
• The operator ought to be capable of seeing the hook and the burden at some stage in
the hoisting duration.
• During a typhoon, the hook block must be anchored firmly, and the swing lock is
released.
• When prolonged growth is used at the crane, the operator should use excessive care
in reducing the burden on the ground. An extended growth ought to in no way be
lowered to at least one facet of the chassis, for the steadiness of the crane is usually
decreased in that position and the crane will get disappointed.
• The crane must travel on a heavy timber mat whenever there is the instability of soil.

• The use of any make-shift methods to increase the capacity of the crane such as
timbers, with blocking or adding counterweight, should not be permitted.
• Before leaving the crane at the end of the workday, the crane operator should
remove the load from the hook and raise the hook to maximum height.
The crane operator ought to preserve the deck easy from any oil, mud, and grease. Operators
usually need to keep the windshield clean, to prevent an accident. Crane/Equipment Inspection
checklist to be maintained
17.6. The following actions should be carried out to ensure:
• Brakes should be checked while lifting critical loads and adjusted if needed.
• Crane should by no means be overloaded. The Safe Working Load (SWL) for working
the crane shall be distinct according to the outcomes of look at and examination
certificate, and such loads must no longer be exceeded at some stage in the lifting
operation
• Mobile cranes need to be parked on hard soil or a robust base. They must know not
to be positioned near the edge of the pit or excavation.
17.7. The secure running load of any mobile crane relies upon on:
• Operator’s skill
• Condition of the ground
• Boom length
• The radius of rotation while lifting the load, inclination of the boom to the vertical
Outrigger blocked / free
• The load is the total load hung from the rope sheaves of the boom including the
weight of the hook block, ropes/ slings etc.
• A standard signalling code should be followed by the operator and a trained
signalman should be used. The crane operator shall respond to signals only from the
appointed signaler but shall obey the stop signal at any time no matter who gives it.
• Tag strains ought to be used at the same time as hoisting heavy and bulky
substances.
• The brakes, boom, Wire rope slings, Wire rope slings ‐ cable clips, Chain slings,
Shackles, Eye bolts, Hooks, and Spreader beams should be checked periodically by a
maintenance person to ensure the crane’s safe operation.

18. CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH

It is a law that requires employers to manipulate substances which can be unsafe for fitness. You can
save your or reduce worker’s exposure to unsafe materials with the aid of:

1. Observe and find out what the occupational health hazards are.
2. Deciding on how to prevent harm to health
3. Providing proper control measures to minimize the harm to health.
4. Make sure they are used.
5. Keeping all control measures in the correct working order.
6. Proper provision of information, instruction and training for employees/workforce and
others.
7. Proper provision, monitoring and health surveillance in essential cases.
8. Proper planning for emergencies or other cases.
18.1. Chemical Hazards
1. For better understanding, write the complete chemical name as identified on the
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
2. Including CAS- Chemical Substance Number is likely to be distracted with other
chemicals.
3. In the case of commercial products, note down/write the commercial name
followed by chemical details.
4. If relevant to the hazard, list the concentration of the chemical (e.g., an acid may be
a corrosive, irritant, or non‐hazardous depending upon concentration).
5. Use the risk phrases from the MSDS e.g., Irritating to eyes, respiratory system, and
skin.
6. Ecological information, for example, toxic to aquatic organisms- require not to be
constituted but will inform your choice of disposal or discard.
18.2. Biological hazards
1. Use the scientific name of the organism/agent wherever possible, together with a
common or commercial name if appropriate.
2. For biological hazards, list the hazard category.
3. Other hazards may include information on e.g., flammability, radiation safety, heat,
cold and sharps.

18.3. Workplace exposure limits

1. Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) are occupational exposure limits developed to
assist protect and safeguard the health of the workforce.
2. WELS are concentrations of hazardous substances in the air, averaged over a
particular length called a time‐weighted average.
3. Two time periods are utilized: The first is long‐term (8 hours) and the second is
short‐term (15-minutes).
4. Short‐term Exposure Limits (SEL) are developed to minimize the effects such as eye
irritation that may happen following exposure for a few minutes.
18.4. Control measures
When controlling access to a hazardous substance consider whether:
1. The process may be changed to remove the need for the substance,
2. The substance may be replaced with a more secure opportunity,
3. The substance may be utilized in a more secure preparation e.g., pellets in place of
powder, readymade buffers, gels etc. If prevention is not practicable, you must
appropriately control exposure by one or more following:
- To a certain degree, enclose the process (e.g., fume cabinet),
- Ventilated store’s
- Improve general ventilation,
4. Use facilities that reduce the possibilities of spillage and so forth.
5. Reduce the wide variety of people uncovered.
6. List all engineering measures appropriate for the control of exposure to the users. This
must be indicated by the MSDS and the hazardous substances risk register (e.g., if toxic
through inhalation, then use in a fume cabinet and respirator mu be used and nearby
exhaust ventilation are examples.

19. EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES

19.1. Emergency Planning:
In the event of emergency where the site must be evacuated the following procedures shall be
followed:
• On hearing of the alarm, site employees could be required to come together at the
Emergency Assembly Point. Supervisors and responsible persons shall account for

21. SAFE WORK METHOD STATEMENT

(High-risk construction work)
This Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) details how particular risks related to working at
heights are to be organized. It outlines the commonplace risks and risks associated with this
work and the way to greatly manipulate them. The management measures listed on this SWMS
need to be implemented on-website online. The Key Safety messages offer a summary of the
crucial management measures. If different risks are identified that are not identified on this
SWMS a risk assessment for the new danger needs to be finished.
KEY SAFETY MESSAGES
• ‘Working at Heights’ means working in circumstances where there is a risk of a fall from one
level to another and because of which it is reasonably likely that an injury could occur.
• All use of fall arrest and fall protection structures needs to comply with applicable
regulations and manufacturer’s instructions.

Falling object • Is an industrial-rated ladder in good working
order?
• Is on, stable and well-balanced ground
• Is the proper height for the work or activity to
negate the unsafe practice such as reaching or
stretching?
• Is not too close or too far from the support
structure. The ratio must be 4:1. For example, the
distance between the ladders base and the
supporting structure should be approximately one
meter out for every four meters of working ladder
height
• Is secured against slipping or sliding, and/or
another person is holding the base of the ladder
• Have all the proper locking devices on the ladder
been safeguarded into position?

22. WEATHER CONDITIONS ‐ HOT

Outdoor workers who're exposed to hot and humid conditions are susceptible to warmness-
associated infection. The threat of heat‐related illness turns greater because the weather gets
hotter and greater humid. This situation is especially severe when a warm climate arrives
suddenly early in the season earlier than employees have had a chance to evolve to heat
weather.
For human beings running outdoors in hot weather, each air temperature and humidity affect
how warm they experience. The "heat index" is a single value that takes each temperature and
humidity into account. The higher the heat index, the hotter the weather feels because sweat no
longer quite simply evaporates and cools the skin. The warmness index is a better measure than

warmth source
TRAINING WORKERS
Train the workforce before hot outdoor/external work begins. Make the training topic outline to
highlight employer‐relative requirements, regulations, policies, and job-site‐particular
circumstances and or conditions. A single Jobsite may have limited or fewer job tasks that are
low risk for heat‐related ill-health and others that are extremely high risk. The safety training,
orientations or inductions will be more fruitful if it is related to job tasks and conditions and is
reviewed, evaluated, observed, and strengthened throughout extreme hot weather conditions.
The below-mentioned occupational health and safety training topics may be communicated in a
single session or a series of smaller sessions
Training Topics:
1. Risk factors for heat‐related illness.
2. Different types of heat‐related illnesses, including how to recognize common signs and
symptoms.
3. Heat‐related illness prevention procedures.
4. Importance of drinking small quantities of water often.
5. Importance of acclimatization, how it is developed, and how your worksite procedures
address it.
6. Importance of immediately reporting signs or symptoms of heat‐related illness to the
supervisor.
7. Procedures for responding to possible heat‐related illnesses.
8. Procedures to follow when contacting emergency medical services.
9. Procedures to ensure that clear and precise directions to the work site will be provided to
emergency medical services.
SAFETY TIPS
1. Always stay hydrated. Use plenty of liquids (Juices, water); drink liquids approx. 475ml
before going to start work and 175 ml to 210 ml every 15 or 20 minutes.
2. Don’t take liquids that cause dehydration such as Alcohol, coffee, tea, etc.
3. Always use the weather and body compactable and comfortable PPE.
4. Give rest to your body. Stay calm, slow down and work in short intervals. Know your
body capabilities and strengths and avoid working directly in extremely hot conditions
5. Schedule your work activities in short breaks. Take a rest in well-ventilated and shaded
areas.
6. If working in extremely hot conditions, take a damp cloth with you and keep applying it
on your face and neck areas.
