1 Introduction and Overview

By their very nature, lifting activities can give rise to hazardous situations resulting in

serious harm to personnel, damage to plant and equipment, and business loss.

This document describes the regime which will be put in place on all BP sites to

ensure that lifting operations are carried out safely, in compliance with the requirements

of The Lifting O perations and Lifting Equipment R egulations (LO LER) 1998, SI 1998/

No 2307.

The key components of this regime are:

Categorisation of the lift by agreed standard definitions

D evelopment and implementation of a suitable documented lifting plan

Suitable and adequate assessment of the risks associated w ith the lifting operation

Correct selection and use of appropriate equipment (refer to G uidance on Lifting

Equipment Supply, Control and O peration (U KCS-TI-012))

Involvement of personnel suitably trained, experienced and assessed as competent

by the relevant authorised body

Clarity on roles, responsibility and primacy notably where co-contractor interfaces

are involved

The approval, authorisation and, where necessary, endorsement of lifting plans and

their execution

M aintenance of databases of approved risk assessments and lifting plans, and of acurrent register of personnel competent in respect of lifting operations

Formal appointment of key personnel within the regime

It is BPs strategic intent that any additional technical expertise in the execution of lifting

operations will be sought from the BP Federal M echanical Handling Contractors (M HC),

who will advise Business U nit (BU ) Technical A uthorities and Site LO LER

Representatives in respect of lifting operations on BP sites. L ifting plans for all activities

shall be reviewed by the Site LO LER R epresentative before work commences.

Note: The Site LO LER R epresentative wi ll ensure an appropriate level of review of all

routine and simple lifting plans before execution.

It is recognised that most lifting activities on BP sites will be managed and supervised by

contractors other than the M HC, typical examples being:

Siting of new equipment as part of a project being undertaken by the engineering and

modifications contractor

Supply boat offloading/backloading being undertaken by the installation services

contractor

D ay-to-day pick-up/layout of tubulars by the D rilling and W ell Services Contractor

Uncontrolled

2 D ecem ber 2002 Issue 3/AM 01

D ay to day handling of tubulars, drilling and well services equipment in the course of well

control activities involves a combination of routine, simple and complicated lifts. T hese

activities are categorised as being Routine D rilling and Well O perations Lifting operations

subject to full compliance with the controls and conditions laid out in A ddendum 1.

The assessment and planning of these lifting operations will usually be led by the

contractors who are accountable for the safe delivery of the overall activity, and it is

recognised that non-M H C contractors may have sufficient in-house lifting expertise to

assess, plan and execute lifting operations.

H owever, for the purposes of assurance of operational and technical integrity,

BP requires that the arrangements for those lifting operations categorised as complex

are reviewed and endorsed by the M HC Technical Support Engineer, (on behalf of the

BU Authority or Site LO LER Representative) prior to work commencing.

For those operations categorised as routine, simple or complicated, the approval of thelifting plans by a person suitably trained and qualified to EC ITB Level 3 in rigging

practices or equivalent, plus 10 years (m inim um) experience, (typically a R igging

Foreman) is sufficient, prior to authorisation by the Site L O LER R epresentative.

The Site LO LER R epresentative at his or her discretion may consult the M HC Support

Engineer for guidance and further endorsement if there is any doubt as to the

categorisation of any lifting operation.

The M HC will supply technical expertise to other federal contractors in the development

of arrangements for lifting activities, as requested, on behalf of the BU Technical

A uthority or Site LO LER R epresentative.

To ensure uniform approach to lifting operations and procedures across all BP sites andInstallations, it is mandatory that all pre-lift assessments should follow the definitions

and format laid down in this Federal document.

2 Lif t ing Operations Control andM anagement Review Process

In the interest of safety, several factors should be taken into consideration prior to any

mechanical handling lifting operation being carried out:

Responsibility for the planning and execution of the lifting operation m ust beestablished (who is in charge of the lifting operation?)

The lift must be categorised using one of the four agreed standard definitions

routine, simple, complicated or complex

An appropriate lifting plan (and method statement w here necessary) must be

developed by a suitably competent person, with input from those involved in

the operation

A suitable and sufficient risk assessment must then be carried out to ensure that the

plan will manage all identified risks to As Low A s Reasonably Practicable (A LAR P),

any improvements identified then being fed back into the plan

Complex

Complex lifting operations require additional engineering input from M H Cs

Technical Support Engineer, Structural Engineer, or the operating sites equivalent

Technical A uthority for lifting operations and/or other specialist contractors. This input

should be included in the risk assessment and subsequent method statement and lifting

plan. T he specific plan is then reviewed at a Toolbox T alk prior to being implemented by

appointed competent personnel.

Table 1 gives an overview of the definitions of the lift types and examples of their

application. M ore detailed definitions of the lift types and the control measures are

included in Addendum 1.

Paragraph 4 defines appropriate minimum levels of competence for each category of lift.

Notes: (1) Where the lifting activities simple, complicated or complex are likely to

be repeated over time, the risk assessments, lifting plans and methodstatements should be held on file for subsequent review and reuse.

R outine activities by definition are repetitive (usually daily or weekly) and

as such, the assessments, plans and any supporting procedures should be

held on file. They must be continuously reviewed to ensure they are

current and reflect any changes to operating context.

(2) It should be noted that there is an important link between LO LER and

PU W ER (T he Provision and Use of W ork Equipment Regulations 1998).

In simple terms, PU W ER applies to all equipment including lifting

equipment; L O LER applies where the equipment is involved in a

lifting operation. A working definition, for the purposes of this federaldocument, is that if the load being moved remains static (in the event of

any failure of the equipment that is moving the load), then the operation is

not classified as a lifting operation even if lifting equipment is being used.

A practical example to illustrate this principle (developed from that cited in

the ACO P guidance to LO LER R egulation 2) is that of a winch being used

to move a load across a level surface. P U WER applies to the winch,

but LO LER does not apply to this operation, as the load stops moving if

the winch fails. H owever, if the winch was being used to impact a

sideways force during a cross-hauling operation, then LO LER applies to

the operation because, in the event of a failure of the winch, the loadwould swing about the point of suspension.

3 Roles and Responsibilit ies

The LO LER regulations require that every lifting operation involving lifting equipment is:

Properly planned by a Competent Person

Appropriately supervised

Carried out in a safe manner

N ormally lifting activities involve several craft disciplines and authorities ( stakeholders ).

So any system set up to manage lifting operations safely must recognise this inherent

complexity and must ensure that roles and responsibilities and the competencies for

each activity are clearly defined, recognised and there is a shared view of interfaces

and boundaries.

This paragraph details the roles and responsibilities of these stakeholders. G iven thediversity of titles for similar roles across BP operations, contract strategies etc, the roles

below are generic, however, each site and Installation must translate and appoint to suit

their own organisations. W ith regard to lifting operations, some roles may be combined,

eg D eck Foreman and the Competent Person, but it is essential that these roles are

clearly stated in each site or Installation Safety M anagement System (SM S) document

and understood by all.

The generic stakeholders are:

categories of lifting operations on site. He is responsible for ensuring that all complicatedand complex lifting operations are engineered to the relevant standards and for

reviewing and approving, and/or endorsing as appropriate the method statements and

lifting plans for these categories of lift, prior to their im plementation offshore. He is also

responsible for ensuring that the appointed Site LO LER R epresentatives and Competent

Persons have the necessary competence for the control of lifting equipment, and he

must provide support and advice to Installation/site management and Site LO LER

Representatives. T he PU Technical Authority is responsible for ensuring that the

interface with the M HC runs smoothly and an appropriate involvement and level of

service from the M HC is achieved.

3.2 M HC Technical Support Engineer

The M HC Technical Support Engineer is nominated as the person responsible for

providing technical expertise, in support of all complicated or complex lifting operations,

on the Installation/site. This includes the development of the scope and/or the

supervision of method statements, lifting plans and task-based risk assessments,

discussions with specialist engineers and contractors, ensuring all relevant engineering

standards are applied during the development phase of the workscope and that the

output from the engineering studies/assessments are documented and recorded.

He is also responsible for the review and challenge or endorsement of complex lifting

plans and, where necessary, complicated plans where other contractors have prepared

these, prior to authorisation by the Site LO LER Representative.

3.3 The Offshore Installation M anager or Site M anager

The O ffshore Installation M anager (O IM ) (offshore installations) or Site M anager (SM )

(onshore facilities) have overall responsibility for all aspects of health and safety on the

3.4 The Site LOLER Representat ive

The Site LO LER R epresentative has a managerial role, responsible for ensuring that a

regime is established and maintained on the Installation/site so that lifting operations arecarried out safely, in compliance w ith the requirements of LO LER , and for the

implementation of the BP Federal lifting operation and lifting equipment procedures on

the Installation/site (these documents are listed in Paragraph 5). This will require:

The authorisation of all lifting plans and risk assessments for all categories of lifts by

the Site LO LER Representative, supported by the M HCs Support Engineer and the

BP Technical Authority for lifting operations as appropriate. T his includes ensuring that

it is clear who is in charge of specific lifting operations, and ensuring that primacy is

clear in the case of co-contractor operations

Ensuring, by documentary evidence, that all personnel involved with any lifting

operations on the site have been properly trained and assessed as competent torelevant industry/national standards, and that a register of such personnel is

maintained on the Installation/site. This includes resident site personnel and any

ad-hoc personnel (such as drilling crews, wireline personnel and ad-hoc engineering

contractors). C lose liaison will be required w ith em ployers of those personnel to

achieve the necessary levels of assurance of competence to perform the specific

category of lifting operation

Ensuring that the issue and control of lifting equipment on the Installation is rigorously

controlled, in accordance with BP s procedures as laid down in G uidance on L ifting

Equipment Supply, Control and O perations (U KCS-TI-012), by the nominated

Competent Person for the control of lifting equipment. The lifting equipment shallonly be issued to those persons on the register who have the necessary competence

Providing the continuous in-house review to ensure compliance with the regulations

and Company standards and procedures

The nominated Site LO LER R epresentative has overall accountability for ensuring that

the BP regime for lifting operations is applied on site. The postholder should have the

necessary management skills to ensure that the framework is established and used by

the various stakeholders involved, and to identify and resolve issues of interface and

primacy. A lthough technical expertise in matters of lifting equipment and lifting

operations is provided to the Site LO LER Representative by the M HC, the LO LER

R epresentative must have a good understanding of the inherent hazards associated withmechanical handling operations and also be fully conversant with the requirements of

LO LER and BP procedures. Specific training shall be undertaken by the Site LO LER

R epresentative to ensure the necessary knowledge and technical appreciation.

The C rane O perator-M echanic is responsible for ensuring that all servicing routines have

been carried out prior to the crane operation to ensure that the crane can function

correctly and is available to carry out the necessary lifting operations as required.

The ultimate responsibility for loads being lifted or moved by the Installation craneresides with the C rane O perator, who should satisfy himself that the operation in hand

has been risk assessed and included in the T oolbox T alk at the start of the shift.

N o attempt should be made to lift any load not subjected to an approved risk

assessment or included in the Toolbox Talk. H e will also ensure that all equipment is

returned to the rigging loft prior to rigging loft 6-monthly changeouts.

3.7 Area/Issue Authority

The Area Authority (A A ) is responsible for controlling lifting operations within their area

and for bringing any specific hazards to the attention of the P A that may encounter

during the execution of the work. Prior to authorising work involving lifting operations,

the A A will satisfy himself that persons carrying out the lift are formally deemed

competent to do so.

3.8 Performing Authority

The PA is responsible for ensuring that all personnel involved in the lifting operation are

suitably qualified and have the necessary experience to perform the category of lift

specified on the LO LER plan and risk assessment and that the lift is implemented safely

and within the level and competency of those in the team. The PA is also responsible for

briefing the work party involved in the activity prior to the task commencing.

4 Training and Competence Assurance

A ll personnel involved in m echanical handling and lifting operations on BP

Installations/sites shall be trained to the relevant standard, have the requisite experience

and be formally assessed as competent in the tasks to be undertaken. Training for

personnel involved in lifting operations shall be to industry recognised standards and

shall be undertaken at facilities approved by one of the following accredited bodies:

O PIT O , EM TA or EC ITB. The training course curriculum for rigging personnel should be

designed to assist the candidate to progress easily to the SQ V level for rigging andlifting, particularly for rigging supervision.

D ocumentary evidence of training and competence assurance will be required before

any person is authorised to perform lifting operations on the Installation/site. A register

of competent personnel authorised to undertake lifting operations shall be maintained on

the Installation/site, to assist with the control of equipment issue and with the allocation

of tasks. O ngoing competence of all personnel authorised to perform lifting operations

shall be monitored by the Installation/site competence assurance standards. It is the

responsibility of the employer to ensure that their employees competency profiles are

maintained and are current. The minim um acceptable training and competency standards

for the various disciplines and categories of lifting operation are set out in Table 3.

D efinitions of Lift CategoriesD ecem ber 2002 Issue 3/AM 01 Add 1-1

Addendum 1

Definitions of Lift Categories

Category 1: Routine Lifting Operation

Routine, uncomplicated lifting operations are performed regularly (at least on a daily or

weekly basis) that involve basic slinging practices and the use of mechanical equipment

such as cranes, chain hoists etc, implemented by people who are suitably trained to the

required standards for this category of lifting operation and have the requisite

experience. O n most BP sites these lifting operations involve the majority of routine

deck operations, boat transfers and the unloading/loading of road transport vehicles etc.

A generic LO LER risk assessment, covering all aspects of these operations, m ust be

conducted and subjected to continual review to ensure any changes in prevailing

conditions are identif ied and taken into account. T he risk assessment must involve all

personnel involved in the execution of the lift and be approved by the BP site nominated

Site L O LER Representative for lifting operations. The technique and format for this

assessment should be sim ilar to that of a Hazard and O perability (H AZO P)/Failure M ode

Effect A nalysis (FM EA ) study where all applicable hazards are identif ied and control

measures put in place to mitigate the consequence of the perceived hazard. To enable

all aspects of the lifting operations to be captured, the A ssessment Team should consist

of all personnel involved in the activities, typically the deck or yard crew,

Crane O perator-M echanic, M echanical Handling Technical Support Engineer, site Safety

Adviser and the nominated Site L O LER R epresentative and/or the relevant Business Unit

(B U ) Technical A uthority. The product of the assessment should be an approved

procedure and plans for the routine lifts.

D rilling and well service lifting operations require a combination of competence in both

lifting and well operations activities. R outine lifting operations associated with

tubing/casing and other general handling equipment on the drill floor, BO P deck and pipe

deck can be categorised as a mixture of routine, simple and complicated. Therefore all

routine lifting operations associated with drilling and well operations is to be categorised

as routine and will require a generic risk assessment to be developed and approved. The

drilling and well service crew, providing they are trained, have the requisite experience

and are assessed as competent to Level 1 (refer to P aragraph 4 Table 3) m ay execute

lifts for well operations that are classified as routine, simple and complicated but only ifall the conditions listed below are satisfied:

The lift is for drilling and well operations and not for maintenance of associated drill

floor or well operations equipment

The lift is on or above the rig floor/pipe deck or other drilling areas, provided that the

appointed I nstallation C ompetent Person has agreed that the drill crew can execute

the lift

The lift has been assessed and the required lifting plan, risk assessment and, where

applicable, method statement has been carried out

The risk assessment recognises that the lift is to be carried out by the drill and

well service crew

A ll persons involved in using lifting equipm ent have received training recognised by

BP as equivalent to an O PIT O approved Banksman and Slingers course and will have

at least 12 months well operations experience in the previous two years

O ne person is appointed in charge and in control of the lifting operation. H e will be

qualified to a minimum of Level 1 rigging and lifting course from an O PIT O approved

training provider and must have at least three years well operations experience in the

previous four years

The Senior Toolpusher/Well Service Supervisor (or his delegate) will maintain a

register of persons appointed as competent to supervise lifting operations under this

dispensation on the drill floor, B O P and pipe decks

A form al, rig-site assessment is carried out by a D32/D 33 assessor, and persons

appointed to supervise lifting operations on the drill floor are also assessed within

1 month of drill operations commencingThe use of permanently installed drilling equipment like the draw w orks, bridge racker

and iron roughneck is already covered in existing drilling documents DO G S and their

competence and management controls and is excluded from this document.

This instruction is intended to ensure the safety of lifting operations for all routine lifting

and handling activities associated with drill floor, BO P and pipe deck operations.

A n example of the output from a typical risk assessment and method statement for

routine deck and cargo handling operations, carried out on the Eastern Trough Area

Project (ETAP) operating assets, is given in Addendum 4.

Category 2: Simple Lifting Operations

Simple or basic lifting operations are those lifting operations that involve the use of basic

lifting accessories eg overhead travelling gantry cranes or manual hoists suspended from

dedicated lifting structures such as runway beams, davits, padeyes etc directly above

the load. The load being lifted must have certified lifting points and the weight of the

load known. The persons involved in this category of lift must be trained to the required

standards and assessed as competent to perform lifting operations under this category.

These operations will be one-off tasks involving a lift with only a single item of lifting

appliance and one set of lifting accessories eg sling shackle eyebolt, being employed at

any one time. The use of generic lifting plans, accompanied by risk assessments and

Toolbox Talks, w ill be adequate for this category of lift. The plans must be developed by

the nominated BP site Competent Person for lifting operations and endorsed by the

Site LO LER R epresentative. C opies of plans and risk assessments should be stored and

maintained at the site in either electronic or paper format.

Category 3: Complicated Lifting Operations

Complicated lifting operations are those lifts which are difficult to implement, due to the

nature of the load:

Awkward shape

O ffset or high centre of gravity

Fragile

Uncontrolled

D efinitions of Lift CategoriesD ecem ber 2002 Issue 3/AM 01 Add 1-3/4

Containing liquids

R equire the use of soft becket eye flat webbing-type slings

Lifts with loads equal to or less than 2 tonnes that have no dedicated liftingattachments

Lifts which require the use of non-certified steel structural support beams (refer to

the note that follows this paragraph)

The lift may require to be rotated, cross-hauled using two or more items of

lifting equipment, or for tandem lifting operations using more than one lifting

appliance. This category of lift must only be undertaken by personnel who have the

relevant core skills and experience in implementing this category of lifting operation.

They must also have been trained to the required standard, have the requisite

experience and be formally assessed as competent to undertake complicated lifting

operations. A Toolbox Talk will be required, addressing the lift to be undertaken,and copies of plans and risk assessments maintained at the site in either electronic or

paper format

For lifting operations categorised as complicated the method statement and lifting plans

will be developed by the site Competent Person(s), who must be suitably trained to the

required standards and experienced in mechanical handling lifting operations.

Note: The method statement and lifting plans must be approved by the Site LO LER

R epresentative and, i f deemed to be necessary, endorsedby the M HC Technical

Support Engineer. For complicated lifts involving the use of non-certified steel

structural support members approval must be sought from a suitably qualified

Structural Engineer (refer to the lifting operation approval proforma in A ddendum 6).

Category 4: Complex Lifting Operations

Complex lifts can be any of the previous three categories but with additional hazards,

such as:

Being extremely heavy or loads with significant financial value

Confined spaces, restricted head room

Lifting over live or unprotected plants containing hazardous substances

Subsea operations or involving D ivers

Lifts utilising floating cranes or other specialist lifting equipment or services

Lifts greater than 2 tonnes which involve the use of non-certified steel structural

support members

As for complicated lifts using non-certified steel structural support beams the

involvement of a suitably qualified Structural Engineer in the development and approval

process of the lifting plan is mandatory.

If the complex lifting operation is developed and implemented by expertise other than

BPs M HC, it is essential that the method statements and lifting plans are reviewed and

endorsed by the BP M HC Technical Support Engineers on behalf of the BP site T echnicalAuthority for lifting operations.
