6141T4 Hoisting&Rigging Ops

1.0 Purpose

Overhead or mobile cranes operations at Jefferson Lab are accomplished in accordance with DOE-STD-1090, Hoisting and Rigging (formerly Hoisting and Rigging Manual).

2.0 Scope

This procedure applies to hoisting and rigging operations performed on behalf of Jefferson Lab, by its employees or by others.

The activities required for hoisting and rigging are performed in coordination with chapters:

· 6140, Material Handling Equipment Program

· 6141, Material Handling Equipment: Rigging, Cranes, and Hoists

3.0 Responsibilities

Note: Management authority may be delegated to a task-qualified TJNAF employee at the discretion of the responsible manager.

3.1 Material Handling Manager (MHM)

· Ensure the Lift Director/ Person-In-Charge (PIC), as defined by ASME B30.5; or the Person-In-Charge, as defined by DOE STD 1090, is qualified to perform all designated responsibilities for subcontracted mobile crane operations.

· Provide oversite of crane and rigging operations site wide and as requested.

· Assist with complex and critical lift planning when notified by the responsible Manager/ Supervisor/ Technical Representative (TR).

· Review Critical Lift Plans.

3.2 Managers, Supervisors and Technical Representatives (TR)

· Provide oversite of crane rigging operations in their area of responsibility.

· Notify the MHM of any Critical Lifts with as much time as possible but no less than one (1) week notice.

· Request assistance from the MHM for consultation for non-routine or complex lifts.

· Be the “Management Representative” and classify the lift as Ordinary, Pre-engineered or Critical.

3.3 Person-In-Charge or Lift Director

· Develop lift plans.

· Ensure all personnel involved in the lift operations are knowledgeable and qualified to perform duties as assigned.

· Ensure all foreseeable contingencies have been addressed.

4.0 Procedure

4.1 Planning the Lift

In accordance with DOE-STD-1090, Hoisting and Rigging – A management representative shall classify the lift as Ordinary, Pre-Engineered or Critical, prior to planning the lift. The management representative should have a basic knowledge of material handling methods and significant knowledge of the capabilities of the material handling personnel and material handling equipment within the work area. Material handling personnel with master rigger training should be consulted by the management representative or consult with the MHM.

Step 1: Review DOE-STD-1090, Hoisting and Rigging when developing lift plans. Where the DOE Standard appears to be in conflict with previously employed lifting practices, contact the Material Handling Manager (MHM) for an interpretation.

Step 2: Classify each lift into one of the DOE categories:

· CRITICAL (see Step 2a).

· PREENGINEERED PRODUCTION (see Step 2b).

· ORDINARY (see Step 2c).

Step 2a: CRITICAL LIFT* – Lift Plan[1] required.

Step 2b: PREENGINEERED PRODUCTION LIFT** – Requires an Operational Safety Procedure (OSP) or Temporary OSP.

Step 2c: ORDINARY LIFT – A plan is required, however, a documented lift plan is not required. Consult with your manager/ supervisor/ Technical Representative to determine if a lift requires documentation. Lift plans can be verbal or documented as determined by the appropriate manager in accordance with DOE 1090 and ASME P30.1, “Planning for Load Handling Activities”.

4.2 Lift

Perform lift operation in accordance with the Lift Plan or OSP. If a crane/hoist malfunctions at any time during the operation, suspend work in accordance with ES&H Manual Chapter 3330 Appendix T1 Suspend Work for Safety Procedure and contact the MHM immediately.
