Instructions for Crane Lift Plan

Lifting with crane is always very risky and requires all mandatory safety
precautions before the lifting activity proceeds.

The following are some instructions that could be very helpful for the
personals who involved in the crane lifting.

1. The use and Planning Process for crane lifting has two major
categories:
• Crane Lift Plan
• Daily Safety Review for Crane Operations

2. A Crane Lift Plan is required for every crane lift on each project
where the Lifting is required

3. Where Critical Crane Lifts Operations involved, then only if


authorized, may have to be reviewed by a Lifting professional engineer.

4. Submission for the Crane Lift Plans must be done at least 48 hours
before crane mobilization. If helicopter or critical lifts involved, then for
this purpose we need to submit Crane Lift Plan before-5 days.

5. Crane Lift Plans (CLP) must be based on worst case % of capacity


(for example, gross deductions/chart capacity) for each particular crane
configuration, location and activity (e.g., unload a delivery truck is a
separate activity from erecting steel structure).

6. The Crane Lift Plan (CLP) may be valid for more than 1- day, as long
as the configuration, location, and parameters used for Establishing
“worst case” condition have not altered. Multiple Lift Plans (MLP) for
multiple lifting locations/areas/projects.

7. All rigging devices/Machinery MUST have the name of the Lifting


Machinery/Devices manufacturer and identify Working Load Limit
(WLL) and be certified as to their capacity.
8. Where Custom-Fabricated Devices exists such as lifting beams,
spreader bars, etc., may be acceptable with appropriate Professional
Engineer (PE) stamp or proof testing as needed by lifting applicable
standards. Lifting and WLL Capacities shall be marked and legible on
all such devices.

9. Other worksite activities and the work that is not foreseen in the
Crane Lift Plan (CLP), but may arise due to worksite conditions such as
moving of various equipment, devices or machinery, loading &
unloading materials/substances onto floors, etc.) must be reviewed with
Organization in advance. Other Changes affecting crane configuration
and/or location may need the Crane Lift Plan (CLP) to be amended.

10. The Main-Contractor/Sub-Contractor is accountable to visit the site


before the lift date to review crane setup location and documentary
information referring to the worksite, which is maintained by
Organizations. The subcontractor is accountable (determining adequacy,
supplying and installing) for all supporting material mandatory for the
crane lift.

11. The Subcontractor is responsible to obtain all information that is


necessary to develop a power line safety plan.

12. The Subcontractor is accountable to train all workers involved in the


use of the crane, for example:

• Rigging
• Signaling
• Crane Operation
• Assembly / Disassembly.

13. The Main-Contractor/Sub-Contractor must provide the following


information along with the Crane Lift Plan (CLP):

• Competent person designation forms for Rigger operation Signal


Person.
• Rigger and Signal Person training certification, such as OSHA 10
cards.
• Jurisdictional Registration.
• Risk Assessment (RA)/Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for truckload
/unload boom conflicts, public protection, Etc.
• Risk Assessment (RA)/Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for power line
encroachment
• Logistics Plan (LP)
• Weight of Material (WM) – Bill of Lading (BL), calculation,
manufacturers product datasheet, etc.
• Rigging Plan (RP)

14. The Crane Manufacturing Company must provide with the following
information added to the Crane Lift Plan (CLP):

• Competent/qualified person designation forms for the operator and


Assembly & Disassembly (A&D) Supervisor
• Operator/Worker accreditation – eg, license, medical certification,
OSHA 10 cards
• Load Chart-(LD)
• Range Chart-(RC)
• Dimension illustration and specifications for the crane
• Lightning and wind restrictions (from operator’s manual)
• Crane dimensions and area (quadrant) of the operation diagram
• Provide a copy of annual 3rd party inspection certification and
report – see Crane Lift Plan for requirements
• (Note: The inspector shall be accredited with the CCAA
• Scaled Site Plan (SSP) and Elevation Drawings- (ED)
• Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for Assembly/Disassembly of crane
and severe weather.

15. The crane activity shall comply with the Site-Specific Safety & Loss
Control Program.
