Housekeeping Whilst on site, it is important to ensure that the equipment being used is handled in such a way that they do not suffer any unnecessary damage or exposure to environmental conditions. When equipment is not in use , store them in their bags or bins. Ensure that equipment is moved out of the areas where workers move to prevent slips and trips or other accidents. Storage • In a cool, dry place - This will help prevent mildew in software and rust in hardware. • Free of chemicals - This will reduce the chance of chemical damage to equipment. • Where there are no infestations (rats and moths etc. ), which can damage software; ensure that there is a system in place to prevent this. • In a secure location - This will prevent unauthorized personnel entering and potentially damaging equipment. Lifespan: Confirm the lifespan of equipment with the manufactures’ specifications. Lifetime is generally 10 years, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, from the date of production with the exception of metal components (connectors, braking devices, etc. ) for which the lifetime is determined only by frequency of the use, wear and tear, and working action.

C: Lifting Slinging Principles • Ensure that the slinging is done in such a way that the load is as secure in the air as it would be on the ground. • The slinging method should be adequate to the type of load, with attachment point to the load and the equipment. • The weight of the load should not exceed the SWL of the slinging gear. • The load must not damage the slinging gear and the slinging gear must not damage the load. • Know the weight of your load. • Consider the centre of gravity of the load.

C: Lifting Rigging Principles Always be in reach of your controlling device. Never stand directly below the load. Ensure the lifting route is clear of obstructions. Ensure that the slinging is done in such a way that the load is as secure in the air as it would be on the ground. • The weight of the load should not exceed the SWL of the slinging gear. • Always deviate from the bottom of the tower. • •

C: Lifting Hand Signals Used During Lifting Some guidelines to follow regarding the use of hand signals: All lifts should employ a signalman using standard hand signals. All signalmen must be qualified. The signalman must always be in clear view of the crane operator. Signalman must always maintain visual contact of the load and the hoisting equipment. • The signalman must act as the safety watch to keep the lift site free of unauthorized personnel. • There should be only one designated signalman for each lift. • The signaller should wear distinctive clothing. • • •
