1 UNIERSITY or MANI TO B A PHYSICAL PLANT Safe Work Practice # Hoting & Rigging Edited by: approved John Evinger M- Bruce Alexander M- by: W - Jim Martens Created W - SO by: NI A A NI Date Created: November 2014 L.ast revion date: John Evinger November 2014 Supportive Information: i. No person shall use Hoting or Rigging equipment without having been certified or superved 2. by a certified/competent person Recertification shall take place every 3 years Purpose The objectives of the hoting and rigging practices are to protect personnel from injury, the environment from harm, and equipment and property from damage; specifically, to protect load operators and others in the work area, scientific equipment, other university property, and the hoting and rigging equipment itself Method The method used to reduce the rk of incidents involving hoting and rigging based on the rigorous application of rk management principles combined with education and training including: compliance with applicable leglation; rk identification; rk assessment; identification and implementation of treatments; communication and review of procedures; training and education; and actions and considerations following an incident. Health and Safety Hazards: I. Crushing Injuries Pinch points. Struck by falling or swinging objects. Materials handling hazards; lifting, lowering and pushing/pulling. Work practice hazards; following establhed safe work practices and general housekeeping practices Unwanted / unauthorized pedestrian traffic and procedures, A lifting I hoting device defined as a device that used to rae or lower any material or object and includes its rails and other supports but does not include a device to which used to elevate personnel

Selection, Use and Inspection of Slings Workers involved in hoting and rigging must exerce care when selecting and using slings. The selection of slings should be based upon the size and type of the load, and the environmental conditions of the workplace. Slings should be vually inspected before each use to ensure their effectiveness. Improper use of hoting equipment, including slings, may result in overloading, excessive speed (e.g., taking up slack with a sudden jerk, shock loading), or sudden acceleration or deceleration of equipment. There are generally six types of slings: chain, wire rope, metal mesh, natural fiber rope, synthetic fiber rope, or synthetic web. Slings tend to be placed into three groups: chain, wire rope and mesh, and fiber rope web. Each type has its own particular advantages and dadvantages. Factors to consider when choosing the best sling for the job include size, weight, shape, temperature, and sensitivity of the material being moved, and the environmental conditions under which the sling will be used. Inspections Initial, pre-use, frequent, and periodic inspections are required for all equipment. Requirements and procedures for various inspections vary with the type of equipment. Each type of inspection must be conducted and documented in accordance with specified requirements noted below and in Hoting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements. Only equipment bearing a CSA approved tag and load rating may be used; equipment without a current tag must not be used.

3 UNIERSITY OF MANITOBA PHYSICAL PLANT Safe Work Practice #1.9.1 Hoting & Rigging Initial Inspection Prior to initial use, a qualified inspector or person must perform an initial inspection on all hoting and rigging equipment, as appropriate for the equipment type. Additionally, modified lifting devices, or reinstalled, modified, or repaired cranes or hots, must pass an initial inspection by a qualified inspector. Inspections of repaired and modified cranes may be limited to the provions affected by the alteration, repair or modification as determined by a qualified person. Initial inspections must be documented and recorded as described in Hoting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements Pre-use Inspection A pre-use inspection for all types of equipment performed by the operator before each use. The pre-use inspection of a crane, hot, or mcellaneous lifting device must be documented and the documentation must be readily available and retained for five years Frequent Inspection A qualified inspector or person must perform and document a monthly inspection of running wire ropes, chains, and hooks for hots and cranes over one ton, as described in Hoting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements. Monthly inspections are tracked using the Hoting and Rigging: Crane and Hot Monthly Inspection Form. Periodic Inspection A qualified inspector or person must perform and document an annual periodic inspection on all hoting and rigging equipment as appropriate for the equipment type, as described in Hoting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements. Safe Lifting Practices Ensure that a Job Hazard Assessment has been completed Area secure from unwanted I unauthorized personnel (pedestrian traffic) Selection of the sling only the first step in the rigging process. The next step learning how to safely use it to hold and move a suspended load. There are four primary factors to consider when lifting a load safely. These are: Load Size, Weight, and Center of Gravity The center of gravity of an object that point at which the entire weight may be considered to be concentrated. To make a level lift, the hot hook must be located directly above th point. If the hook too far to either side of the center of gravity, dangerous tilting will result, causing unequal stress in the sling legs. Load imbalances must be corrected immediately. Number of Legs and Angle with the Horizontal The smaller the angle between the sling legs and the horizontal, the greater the stress on the individual sling legs. Th increased stress effectively decreases the weight that can be safely lifted with any given sling size. Large (heavy) loads can be safely moved by keeping th angle as large as possible and, when necessary, dtributing the weight of the load among more sling legs. Rated Capacity of the Sling The rated capacity of a sling varies depending upon the type of material the sling made of, the size of the sling, and the type of hitch. Workers must know the 3

4 , UNIERSITY 0 or MANITOBA PHYSICAL PLANT Safe Work Practice #1.9.1 Hoting & Rigging capacity of the sling, and dn obtain th information through charts or tables available through the manufacturer. The rated capacity of a sling must not be exceeded, under any circumstances. Htory of Care and Use Mhandling and muse of slings are the leading causes failure. Following the manufacturer s recommendations for proper care and use are essential for maximum sling service life and safety. of sling General Safe Work Practices: 1. Ensure that a Job Hazard Assessment has been completed 2. Area secure from unwanted I unauthorized personnel (pedestrian traffic) 3. A lifting superved and device shall be operated only by a competent person or by a worker being directly in view of the competent person The training and instruction record shall include the person s name, the dates on which training and instruction took place and must be available under request. Only properly engineered equipment that (equivalent or exceeding) shall be used and operated appropriately. adequately ensure the safety of all approved by the Canadian Standards Association workers and others in the work area. It must be constructed to The equipment must be thoroughly examined by a competent person to determine handling the maximum load as rated, prior to its capability being used the first time and thereafter as often as necessary but not less frequently than recommended by the manufacturer and once a year. See also, the Safety Standard for Maintenance and Inspection Gantry Cranes, Monorails, Hots, and Trolleys (CSA ). of in of Overhead Cranes, any case, at least Physical Plant shall keep a record of each examination conducted for as long as the equipment remains on the premes and for one year after the equipment by the person who conducted the inspection. removed; the record shall be signed The examination record signed by the competent person conducting the inspection shall be kept and must clearly identify the maximum rated load that the device condition. Furthermore, the maximum rated load that the device capable capable of of lifting lifting it operating condition shall be legibly cast, marked or stamped on the device where seen by the operator Where a lifting device equipped with the limit under any operating under any can be readily switches, the switches shall, automatically cut power and apply the brakes, and not be used as an operating control unless designed for such use, in which case a second limit switch shall be located behind the control limit switch. off the jack shall be equipped practicable, 10.

5 UNIERSITY OF MANITOBA PHYSICAL PLANT Hoting Safe Work & Rigging Practice # The equipment shall have adequate protection (such as a canopy or screen) for the operator area where the operator may expose to hazard of falling material. 13. If the equipment a pneumatic or hydraulic hot, the equipment must have controls that automatically return to their neutral position once released. 14. Hoting controls operated from other than a cab or cage shall be located so that they can be operated at a safe dtance from a load being lifted and shall automatically return to their neutral position when released. 15. No part of the load shall pass over any person at any time. 16. Tag lines WILL be used to control the load 17. Equipment controls must be locked-out when the device not in operation and trained! certified personnel are not in the work area. 18. The supervor shall develop an emergency rescue procedure and communicate these procedure(s) verbally and in writing to all person(s) involved in the process. Safety Before moving a load: considerations when using cranes, lifting devices and other equipment: Inspect equipment, cables, hooks, and document the inspection keep for duration of equipment possession plus 1-year after equipment no longer on preme. Ensure all loose materials, parts; blocking and packaging have been removed from the load before lifting. Remove any slack from the sling and hoting ropes before lifting the load. Make sure that the lifting device sits in the saddle of the hook To move a load safely: Move hot controls smoothly. Avoid abrupt, jerky movements of the load. Follow signals only from one signaler in charge of the lift. Ensure constant communication Use tag line to control the load Make sure everyone away from the load before hoting; to do so - sound other warning device and slowly begin hoting the load. a bell, siren or Ensure nothing links or catches on the load while raing it or traveling. Ensure that nothing obstructs the movement of a load. Inspect expected path of travel Keep the load under control when lowering a load, If the braking system fails, the load can usually be lowered by reversing the hot controller to the first or second point. D

Lower the blocks below the point where less than two full wraps of cable remain on the drum. Attempt lifts beyond the rated load capacity of a crane or slings. Lift a load from the side. Centre the crane directly over the load before hoting to avoid swinging the load. Allow anyone to ride on a load or hooks. Leave slings dangling from the load hook. Have sling hooks placed on the sling ring when carrying slings to the load. Rae loads higher than necessary to clear objects. Pass a load over workers. Reverse a motor until it has come to a full stop except to avoid accidents. Walk on the crane runway. Leave suspended loads unattended 6
