 1.0 Purpose

• The purpose of this Method Statement is to present the procedure for Safe load and
unloading material throughout construction phase
2.0 Scope of Work

This procedure applies to staff assigned to carry out safe work during loading and unloading
of miscellaneous material.

3.0 Equipment

• Mobile Crane

 Boom lift

• Fork lift

4.0 Plans, Permits and Pre-Mobilization Activities

• A level area will be cleared for the standing of the mobile crane and trailer. Prior to
standing and rigging of crane on the project site, the HSE officer will be responsible for ensuring
that Plant Check list is completed and that copies of relevant documentation is available.

5.0 Health, Safety & Environment

Barriers and warning signs will be provided as appropriate. Fixed and solid barriers will used for
edge protection if any. Tape will be used as a warning of danger.

• Defensive Driving {program shall be developed then effectuated}. Drivers & Operators
shall be trained and adept and shall obey the Project Driving rules.

• Drivers shall have valid license accepted in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

• Lifting Equipment shall be inspected daily and prior to the beginning of work to
safeguard good working condition.

Page 5 of 21
 • Entrances and exits to/from the work area as well as haul roads shall be approved prior
to loading and unloading activity.

• Mobile phones shall not be used during the operation of loading and unloading.

5.1 Personal Protective Equipment

• Safety Helmet

• Safety Foot wear

• High visible Safety vest

• Cover All (Dungarees)

• Safety glasses and ear protectors

• Safety Gloves

• Ear Protectors

5.2 Emergency Procedure

Refer to the Approved Health & Safety/ Emergency Plan.

First aid kits will be provided on site for light injuries as well as First Aid Station and a Nurse. In
the event of an emergency all workers will be asked to evacuate and assemble at the designated
assembly area and wait for further instruction from supervisors.

5.3 Environmental Issues

• Contractor does not envisage any major environmental impact because of loading and
unloading activity.

• The Job Hazard Analysis Chart provides the action and/or procedure taken to minimize
the identified risks.

statement and all in-situ tests according to the ITP are implemented.

Page 7 of 21
 7.0 Control Plans

Slippage/turning of heavy equipment shall be controlled.

8.0 Methodology
Before loading and unloading activities lifting plan will be briefed (tool box talk) prior to
start of activity/ lifting operations.

Lifting will be designated “Authorized Personnel only” and will be demarked and signage
displayed to ensure that no unauthorized personnel can gain entry to the lifting zone.

Safe access and egress for the route of the forklift/ mobile crane for loading and unloading
material will be determined. Access will be free of obstructions and be properly
maintained.

The lifting equipment for loading/unloading utilized for the task should be rated for safe
working load capacity to lift off. The lifting load will be suitably bound or lashed to ensure it
is secure and on a pallet

Loading and Unloading Material with Mobile Crane/Boom truck

Equipment will be delivered at site, A level area will be identified, agreed with Main
Contractor and cleared for the positioning of mobile crane and trailer prior to the lifting and
. unload task

Outrigger mats or suitable timbers will be positioned under outriggers. The hydraulic out
riggers will be extended over mats and the crane leveled. The cranes boom will be raised
and telescoped to the required length. The Automatic Safe Load Indicator will be checked for
. correct operation

Only one piece of load to be lifted one at the time. The Slinger/banksman will attach chain
sling from crane hook point, hook block. The banksman will be attached 2 Nos web sling
. with equipment and chain sling hook

Once it is confirmed by the Banksman/slinger that the load is level, the lift will commence to
the required position under the strict guidance of the Banks man. If the Crane operator can
. not see banksman then he is to stop the lift immediately

Ensure that set down area is clear where the load is going to be offload. Tag lines are to be
used to prevent swinging. On completion of lifting operations, all lifting is to be removed and
.stored properly
