The challenge of offshore liftingIn terms of ensuring high standards of health and safety, the offshore and sub-sea sectors have always represented unusually challenging environments. However, practical guidance is readily available.- Look below the hook for more efficient overhead liftingTo ensure both the safety and efficiency of lifting operations, it is important not to overlook the most straightforward items. A classic example is provided by 'below the hook' equipment. These products are commonplace and typically inexpensive, but this should not obscure the fact that they play a critical role.
- Making sense of competenceThe LEEA has launched the TEAM card scheme, designed to ensure that only genuinely 'competent' engineers are permitted to test, examine and maintain overhead lifting equipment.
- Is your lifting equipment out of control?Regular in-service inspections and periodic thorough examinations are essential to maintain the continued integrity of all lifting equipment.
