Working Load limit (WLL) The maximum load or mass (As certified by manufacturer based on the mechanical properties of the item) that an item of lifting equipment is designed to sustain, i.e. raise, lower or suspend. Safe Working Load (SWL) The Maximum load or mass (As certified by a competent person) that an item of lifting equipment may raise, lower or suspend under particular service conditions. It is the SWL that is marked on the item and that appears on any examination report or test records. Proof Load Test Deliberate application of a predetermined load in excess of Safe Working Load to assess the ability of the equipment to withstand operational requirements. This applied proof load shall never exceed the elastic limit of the item being tested. The amount of Proof Load to be applied will vary depending upon the type of equipment, its Safe Working Load, and the applicable Standard. (Refer Clause 6 and Clause 7.6.1) On completion of any proof load test, the Lifting Equipment is to be fully inspected, to ensure that the structural integrity of the equipment has not been impaired. The minimum Breaking (or failure) Load (MBL) The minimum breaking load is the calculated load at which a sample of the item will break or fail. Factor of safety (FOS) or Coefficient of Utilization or Working Coefficient It is a factor, which is applied to the MBL to determine the WLL (Working load limit). It varies with the product to take account of the susceptibility to damage and considers the type of stresses the item will meet in normal use. Where the conditions of use are more severe than those considered by the product standard, the user would apply an increased FOS, so reducing the value of the SWL from that of the WLL. Mode Factor A factor applied by the user that takes into account the geometry of a sling assembly to obtain the maximum load that he may lift for a particular mode of use or a configuration of use. Dynamic Factor Dynamic factor shall mean the load factor by which the capacity of a crane is determined for Offshore applications. Colour Coding Doc.

Page 51 of 75
DDD
Every Lifting operation involving lifting equipment is properly planned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner. The person planning the operation shall have adequate practical and theoretical knowledge and experience of planning lifting operations. The plan shall address the risks identified by the risk assessment and identify the resources required, the procedures and the responsibilities so that any lifting operation is carried out safely. The plan shall ensure that the lifting equipment remains safe for the range of lifting operations for which the equipment might be used. Proper planning of lifting operations is a combination of two parts: Initial planning to ensure that lifting equipment is provided which is suitable for the range of tasks that it will have to carry out and planning of individual lifting operations so that they can be carried out safely with the lifting equipment provided. The factors to be considered during initial planning are as follows The load to be lifted, its weight, shape, center of gravity, availability of lifting points etc. Where the load is presently positioned and where it will be positioned after the lifting operation How often the lifting equipment will be used to carry out the task The environment in which the lifting equipment will be used The personnel available and their knowledge, training and experience. The plan shall address the various weather conditions that could have an effect on the integrity of the equipment or expose persons to danger which may mean that lifting operations have to be stopped, e.g. excessive wind speed, poor visibility due to mist or fog, lightning, heavy rain, sea state etc. The plan shall ensure that you have adequate site access and egress for the lifting equipment. You should also consider whether there would be sufficient space to safely position and install the equipment, for example to put out any outriggers. The plan shall have measures in place that address the risks arising from proximity hazards. Ensure that where persons are lifted by lifting equipment primarily designed for lifting loads other than persons, the control position of the lifting equipment is manned at all times. Ensure that persons being lifted on such equipment have a reliable means of communication with the equipment operator or some other responsible person. Ensure that the person in control of the lifting operation and the person being lifted are able to communicate effectively with each other. Ensure that in the event of failure of the lifting equipment that the persons being lifted are not exposed to danger and a reliable means of rescue is available.
