AIMS & OBJECTIVES:

To establish that the delegate has the required responsibilities, knowledge, understanding and operational skills to fulfil the role of Crane operator in line with BSJV Lifting & Hoisting Control Procedures/ Standards safely and effectively

To assess the delegate’s skill and knowledge for safe operation of the category/ class of crane prior to working on BSJV’s worksites and locations with it has prevailing influences.

Learning Outcomes:

Successfully complete this training, delegate must be able to explain:

Introduction to Mobile Crane Operation in BSJV’s sites (Knowledge)

• The requirements of the BSJV Lifting & Hoisting Standards/ Procedures

• The roles and responsibilities of the typical Lifting Crew and the reporting structure (most emphasis in the Crane Operator’s Role)

• The importance and the difference of Lift Classifications (Routine Lifts vs Non- Routine Lifts) within BLNG & BSP

• Why mobile cranes have to be set up with fully extended outriggers and supported with appropriate outrigger pads/mats

• What are the BSJV requirements for outrigger pads/ matting, restricted areas for outriggers and crawler tracks

• What are the BSJV requirements in terms of allowable distance away from drains or any types of excavation; including outriggers away from cable trenches

• Lifting over live equipment; what are the risks? What are the requirements?

• BSJV recognized banksman hand signals

• The typical hazards associated with crane lifting operations

• The purpose of carrying out pre-use inspection of a crane

• The pre-use inspection criteria for mobile cranes

• The mandatory documentation to obtain prior to mobile crane operations

• Why it is important that all personnel involved in the lifting operation know and understand their duties and responsibilities

• What are the quality documentation required to be obtain prior to entering BSJV sites (specify Q-Pass in BLNG)?

• What are the typical mandatory documentation to obtain prior to mobile crane operations

• Why it is important that all personnel involved in the lifting operation know and understand their duties and responsibilities

• What are the quality documentation required to be obtain prior to entering BSJV sites (specify Q-Pass in BLNG)? Mobile Crane Operations (Knowledge)

• The basic crane operation’s terminology

• The type of cranes used in Oil and Gas especially in BSJV sites

• Identification of crane components, their location on a crane and their principle functions

• The crane inspection criteria

• The importance to read, write, understand and demonstrate mathematical skills in crane operations and maintenance

• The basic crane principles of stability and configurations

• Advance capabilities and limitations of a typical mobile crane

• The crane safety devices and their purpose

• The crane safe working load (SWL) and how it is identified

• The universal communications protocols and procedures used for handheld radios

• How to interpret the requirements in a lifting plan and risk assessment

• How to visually inspect the basic condition and spooling of crane wire rope

• How to Identify conflicting activities which may affect the lifting operations

• The environmental conditions liable to affect the lifting operation

• How to identify safe lifting principles

• Crane operating techniques

• How to identify unsafe areas and positions of personnel during a lifting operation

• How to check the suitability of crane set up locations and laydown areas for the crane load

• The emergency access and egress routes for the crane operator

Mobile Crane Operations (Practical Skills)

To successfully complete this training, delegate must be able to demonstrate:

• The Pre-start and pre-operational checks

• Crane maneuvering and positioning as plan

• Setting up the crane and levelling the crane with tyres off the ground

• Basic operation of the crane without load on the hoist to gain familiarization and confidence of the crane controls and functions

• Operating a crane to follow a planned load path avoiding obstacles (with and without load)

• Operating three crane control functions simultaneously [luff/jib, hoist and slew]

• where crane type has capability of simultaneous control function operation (with and without load)

• Correctly responding to banksman hand signals and radio instructions pertaining to a blind lift

• Changing the number of falls of rope on a hook block and terminal fittings

• Lifting, transferring and placing simple lift loads • Lifting, transferring and placing of non-routine loads such as bundled loads, load with eccentric COG, load with awkward shape/ size

• How to interpret information from crane rated capacity indicators and explain how they are used • Correctly placing the hook/ hoist over the load’s COG • Apply safe operating techniques, to include: slew/ swing control, height judgments and crane controls coordination

• How to correctly implement shutdown procedures and make the crane safe following a facility emergency alarm
