Importance of placing a proper crane lash and securing the crane movement from heavy winds and turbulence of the sea.

Maritime cranes play a vital role in the day-to-day operations of numerous maritime businesses. Ship cranes can be placed on board to assist the crew in moving heavy goods around the ship or to another vessel.

On-ship cranes are often utilized to place or remove equipment from the seabed. Shipyards around the world are well-known for their variety of towering cranes that move cargo to and from the ships.

Operating in marine environments is very challenging, with the elements combining to make even simple tasks difficult. When a vessel is out at sea, it is exposed to different weather, wind, and sea forces that can significantly impact carrying out functions above and below deck.

Other factors that can make operating cranes in marine environments include the motion of the vessel and the stability of surfaces, seabed suction, dynamic loading, and the proximity of adjacent structures and vessels.

One of the most common causes for crane failures in the shipping industry involves wire failures. Wires on a ship's crane are subject to failure when they are fatigued, overloaded, possess a pre-existing defect, or experience deterioration.

Best and funny example for Risk, Hazard, Risk Assessment, Control Measure and Result😃

If the worst happens and your oil does catch on fire, do the following:
• Turn the Heat Off – Don’t try to move the pot. You might accidentally splash yourself or your kitchen with burning oil. And that would be bad.
• Cover the Pot with a Metal Lid – Fire cannot exist in the absence of oxygen. With the lid on (and the heat off), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter.
• Pour on Baking Soda – Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they’re small. It takes a lot of baking soda to do the job.
• Spray the Pot with a Class B Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher – This is your last resort, as fire extinguishers will contaminate your kitchen. Still, it’s better than the alternative if the fire is getting out of control.
• Get Out and Call emergency number– If the fire does break out of control, don’t try to be a hero. Get out and find a phone to call emergency number.

Whatever you do, DO NOT do the following:
• Do Not Use Water – Pouring water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire. The vaporizing water can also carry grease particles in it, also spreading the fire.
• Do Not Move the Pot or Carry It Outside – Throwing the pot outside might seem logical in the frenzy of the moment. But trying to move the pot might splash burning oil on you, your home, and anything outside.
• Do Not Throw Any Other Baking Product On the Fire – Flour might look like baking soda, but it won’t react the same. Only baking soda can help put out a grease fire.

Phew, now that we’re clear on all of that, hopefully you’ll never be in a situation where you have to actually use this advice. Be safe, fellow cooks!

Work at Height

In order to take your safety program to new heights, adequate training on the proper use of equipment is a must and...let's not forget our rescue plan just in case!

100% Tie-Off
Having all the fall protection equipment in the world won’t save a life unless workers at height understand what fall protection fits their application, how to inspect the equipment prior to use, and are adequately trained on how to use the equipment.

Often, jobsite workers encounter dangerous situations when moving from one location to another while working at height. Maintaining 100% tie-off allows the worker to remain connected and protected at all times.

In certain instances, however, 100% tie-off may not be feasible, given the specifics of a unique work environment, such as when the employer can demonstrate using fall protection equipment poses more of a risk than not using it. The employer is still required to develop a fall protection plan that meets the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.502(k)(5), which calls for documentation of the reasons why the use of the equipment is not possible or is hazardous to the workers’ safety. Components include:

Warning line systems 29 CFR 1926.502(f)—A barrier erected on a roof to warn employees they are approaching an unprotected side or edge, designating an area in which work may take place without the use of guardrail, body belt or safety net to protect employees in the area.

Controlled access zone 29 CFR 1926.502(g)—When used to control access to areas where leading edge and other operations are taking place. The controlled access zone shall be defined by a control line or by any other means that restricts access.

Safety monitoring systems 29 CFR 1926.502(h)—The employer shall designate a competent person to monitor the safety of other employees. The employer also must ensure that the safety monitor complies with OSHA requirements.
Fall protection that provides 100% tie-off and includes leg lanyards and SRLs—100% tie-off is beneficial considering work tasks, such as moving from an aerial lift basket onto the roof of a building for steel erectors working on a beam.

ANSI/ASSE Z359.2-2017, which addresses the minimum requirements for a comprehensive managed fall protection program, recommends (5.2) Authorized Person Training, with (5.2.2.2) practice training that “shall include instruction and performance assessments of the following … principles of 100% fall protection and how to remain protected while transferring from one fall protection system or structure to another.”

Interpreted, this means all authorized persons shall be trained on 100% tie-off.
