Routine lifts
shall
be identified and described as those which:
x
Are covered by a job risk assessment (
Job Safety Analysis
(JSA)/
Tool Box Talk
(TBT);
x
May not require a new Lifting Plan;
x
Are lifts for which the Lifting Plan can be generic but
shall
still be discussed/reviewed at the pre-lift
meeting. Such pre-lift meeting can, for example, be in the form of a
Tool Box Talk
at the start of a
shift or as required during the shift;
x
Are known, repetitive lifts, familiar to all of the lift team;
x
Are repetitive lifts which are covered by a previously prepared JSA and Lifting Plan, however this
shall
be reviewed by the competent person;
x
Are where the identified lifting team is trained in the use of the specific lifting equipment and familiar
with its limitations; and competent to complete the entire operation;
x
Are where the lifting team has performed their identified roles previously;
x
Are where all personnel involved are familiar with the written risk assessment and the Lifting Plan for
the operation being conducted;
x
Are where the Lifting Plan is verified as the current issue before the operation.
For routine lifting operations, the Lifting Plan
shall
be properly planned by a competent person together with
the people normally using the lifting equipment.
The lift
shall
be appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner.
All lifts require a Lifting Plan.
When operations are considered to be ‘routine’ the Company
shall
have a process in place to ensure that
sufficient planning has been conducted.
Due to the repetitive nature of such operations, an individual plan
should
not be required on each occasion
that the operation is conducted, unless any of the significant matters to which the plan relate have changed
and need to be taken account of.
If in doubt, a lift
should
be considered ‘non-routine’.

Non-routine lifts are those which do not meet all the criteria for routine lifts.
An engineered lift is a typical non-routine lift.
A non-routine lift is where:
x
A job risk assessment is required to identify and mitigate the risks and a completed Lifting Plan is
required, signed off by the persons identified in the relevant boxes of the Lifting Plan;
x
A new specific Lifting Plan is required based on a risk assessment, (for example a HAZID);
x
Identification and risk assessment or site specific JSA;
x
A pre-lift meeting or
Tool Box Talk shall
be conducted involving all relevant parties. Those at this
meeting would use the Lifting Plan, relevant drawings and JSA as a basis to summarise the
proposed lifting operation.
