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
