ASME P30.1-2014 pdf download.Planning for Load Handling Activities.
5-1 INTRODUCTION
The decision to use a critical lift plan should be based on the considerations outlined in Chapter 2.
The critical lift plan shall be written prior to executing the load handling activity. See Nonmandatory Appendix A for an example lift plan template.
5-2 CRITICAL LIFT PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The critical lift plan should address the applicable items identified in paras. 5-2.1 through 5-2.10 and any additional considerations identi fled during the planning process.
5-2.1 The Load
(a) Identify the load’s weight, center of gravity, and dimensions, and the sources of that information.
(b) Identify components that could shift during the load handling activity and develop a method for securing, if required.
(c) Identify the load attachment or contact points and ensure that they are suitable for the load to be handled, while maintaining load integrity.
(d) Identify the requirements to be met for the load’s orientation and securement prior to the release of the LHE and rigging.
5-2.2 Load Handling Equipment
(a) Identity the LHE and the anticipated configuration(s).
(b) Ensure that the LHE is capable of handling the total anticipated load, including the rigging, accessories, and attachments in the intended configuration(s), giving consideration to the factors listed in (e).
(c) Ensure that the LI-fE is in compliance with the requirements of the site, the manufacturer or qualified person, industry-recognized standards (e.g., applicable ASME B30 Volume), and federal, state, or local regulations.
(d) Establish the process to set up, erect, or install, and dismantle the LHE using the information provided by
(1) the manufacturer
(2) a qualified person
(3) site-specific recommendations
(4) applicable regulatory requirements
(e) Identify all required inspections and tests on the I..HE that need to be performed using the information
provided by the manufacturer, a qualified person, site- specific recommendations, or applicable regulatory requirements. For repetitive lifts, additional LHE inspection and maintenance should be considered.
5-2.3 Rigging
(a) Establish the rigging method that will support and secure the load and is suitable for the load handling activity.
(b) Ensure that the rigging method and the equipment have the capacity to support the load, in the configuration or geometry required, giving consideration to the factors addressed in para. 5-2.1 and the following:
(1) dynamic effects (beyond that considered in the design of the equipment)
(2) adverse environmental conditions (temperature, wind, water/ice)
(3) position of the center of gravity relative to rigging support points
(4) DId ratio
(c) Identify the weight of the rigging, accessories, and attachments, and the sources of that information.
(d) Establish the process to ensure that the rigging equipment meets the manufacturer’s specifications, regulations, industry-recognized standards (e.g., ASME B30.9, 830.20, 830.26), and site-specific requirements for the methods and equipment selected.
(e) Identify all necessary inspections and tests for the rigging equipment.
(f) For repetitive lifts, establish any additional rigging inspection and maintenance requirements that may be necessary.
(g) Establish the process to install and disassemble the rigging equipment using the information provided by
(1) the manufacturer
(2) a qualified person
(3) site-specific recommendations
(4) applicable regulatory requirements
(Is) Ensure that the rigging will he protected from damage during the load handling activity from conditions such as the following:
(1) temperature (e.g., shielding from heat, cold)
(2) degradation (e.g., chemically active environment)
(3) cutting, abrasion, and friction damage (e.g., turning, shifting, contact with edges)
5-2.4 LHE and Load Travel Path
(a) Identify travel path(s) of the load and LHE.
(b) Ensure that the load and LHE have adequate clearance to prevent contact with site-specific hazards or obstructions during the load handling activity (e.g., LHE to LHE, load to LHE, tail swing, boom/attachment clearance, headroom).
(C) Consider the factors addressed in paras. 5-2.6 and 5-2.8 and the following:
(1) dynamic movement
(2) environmental (e.g., temperature, wind, water/ice)
(3) load eccentricities during operation
(d) Identify the need for load control (e.g., tag line(s), push/pull polesi.
(e) Identify positioning and movement of personnel required to support the load handling activity.
(f) Identify effects of slope or grade on the LHE.
5-2.5 Personnel
(a) Identify tasks to be completed prior to, during, and after the load handling activity, and the personnel required to complete each task. (See Chapter 3.)
(b) Identify specialized training of personnel necessary to accomplish the load handling activity, if required.
