Elements of a Lifting Plan

Al Ehsaa Housing Project

The lifting plan shall include but not be limited to the following considerations:
The personnel required
The personnels roles, responsibilities and competencies
Compliance to statutory requirements and manufacturer's operation
manual for the lifting equipment

Permit-to-Work system which is mandatory for all lifting operations.

Nature and weight and dimension of load including the NET and
GROSS weights.
Type and location of lifting / rigging points.
Selection of appropriate lifting equipment, lifting gear and appliances.
Application of the correct lifting methods
Position of lifting equipment, personnel and of the load, before and after the lift

operation.

Elements of a Lifting Plan

Al Ehsaa Housing Project

The work site operation including proximity of other lifting equipment and work

activities.
Requirements to erect / dismantle the lifting equipment.
Assessment of the need for tagline to control movement of the suspended load.
Means of communication during lifting operations.
Environmental factors detrimental to the lifting operations such as ground
conditions, adverse weather, wind, and poor illumination.
Ensuring a system for reporting any defects is in place.

Provision of a safe place of work for all personnel during lifting operations.
Separate the lifting area with proper barricades and signboard to avoid
unauthorized entry.

Rigging Considerations

Al Ehsaa Housing Project

Sling Selection : Type & Capacity

Load Control
Lift point over the center of gravity

Appropriate Hitch for CG and Load Control

Coordination of Multiple Sling
Positive Sling to Load Engagement

Friction : Sling to load

Load is free to move & is not snagged
Sling capacity is Adequate ( Angle and Tension )
Adequate Sling protection.

Safe Working Load ( SWL )

Al Ehsaa Housing Project

Stated as the Normal Working Load (NWL) is the load that a piece of lifting

equipment, lifting device or accessory can safely utilize to lift, suspend, or lower a
mass without fear of breaking. Usually marked on the equipment by the
manufacturer and is often 1/5 ( 5 : 1) of the Minimum Breaking Strength (MBS)
although other fractions may be used such as 1/4, 1/6 and 1/10
Load represents a force that is much less than that required to make the lifting
equipment fail or yield, also known as the Minimum Breaking Load (MBL).

SWL or WLL = MBL( Minimum Breaking Load )

SF(Safety Factor) .

lbf = Pound-Force
kN= Kilo Netwon

Sling Angle Factor

Al Ehsaa Housing Project

The Sling Angle Factor is aAngle

multiplier used to
=size when angle
determine the required sling
Sin-1 (a/c)
formed between csling and load is less than 90o

Avoid rigging loads where angle is less than 45o
