Cranes used for basket transfers
All associated lifting equipment used during basket transfer (for example,
slings, shackles, etc).
1.4 COMPANY REQUIREMENTS
It is a company requirement that all tasks are subjected to an assessment of risk to
demonstrate that risks have been reduced to as low a level as reasonably practicable
(ALARP). This can be achieved by complying with the Company‟s existing standards.
Where compliance with Company standards cannot reasonably be achieved, a
formal level 2 Risk Assessment will be undertaken to identify any additional controls
and demonstrate that risks remain as low as reasonably practicable. Whether by
compliance with Company Standards or through level 2 Risk Assessment, the
Company‟s Golden Rules of Safety must be complied with. Golden Rules are non-
negotiable.
1.5 STOPPING UNSAFE WORK
To stop the continuation of potentially unsafe work at the earliest possible stage, the
Control of Work (CoW) Policy and this procedure for Man Riding Operations make it
very clear that all personnel are obliged and have the authority to “STOP” the work
that they consider to be unsafe.
1.6 DEVIATIONS
This procedure is written in sufficient detail that it should be able to be applied
consistently at all sites / installations. There may still be the requirement for some
local rules covering site / installation specific logistical/administrative arrangements
and local variations in responsibilities to reflect differences in organisational
arrangements. These local rules should not deviate from the core processes within
this document. Any form of deviation from this procedure, including but not limited to
local rules, shall be requested and authorised in accordance with SSOW, Deviations
from Regulations and Procedures (Doc. No: AZSPU-HSSE-DOC-00011-2).
1.7 DOCUMENT REVIEW
This document will be reviewed on an annual basis when users from the sites /
installations will have an opportunity to propose changes to the existing processes
and procedures. The document Technical Authority will be responsible for
coordinating this review.

4 MAN BASKET CONSTRUCTION
4.1 CONSTRUCTION
The following guidelines apply to the construction of all man baskets used by BP in
Azerbaijan and Georgia:
Passengers must be protected from harm: man baskets should be of sound
construction, in good and safe condition, and must be fully enclosed to prevent
passengers from falling, being crushed, trapped or struck.
In an emergency, passengers should not be exposed to any further danger:
should personnel become trapped in a man basket, they should not be exposed to
any further danger and they must be capable of being freed.
The basket must be protected from falling: fall arrest devices must be in place to
prevent the basket falling if the primary means of support fails (this can entail suitably
rated ropes with independent anchorages.
In the absence of specific design criteria for fabricated man-riding personnel baskets,
guidance on certain safety features can be adopted from the British Standard BS
2830 - which addresses Suspended Work Platforms.
This guidance gives:
A minimum height from the floor to the underside of the top handrail to
prevent persons toppling over.
(Minimum height = 910mm but recommended
height of 1150mm preferred).
A maximum vertical distance between the handrail/intermediate rails to

prevent persons falling through. (Max = 500mm)
A minimum of 4 Lifting points must align to centre of lift
Floors to be slip-proof and must be a minimum area for each person working
in the basket. (Minimum area per person recommended = 600mm x 600mm)
A stipulation that toe boards must be fitted all around the flooring if the basket
is open sided. (Minimum depth 150mm.)
Mesh sides to aid visibility form basket or visibility for crane operator / banks-
man
Internal handrails to prevent hands/fingers being trapped if the basket swings
against an obstruction.
Doors (if fitted) must open inwards and have a locking mechanism to prevent
inadvertent opening. Or integral ladder for access/egress
Basket should have internal anchor points for safety harnesses.
The lifting slings, if fitted with a fifth leg (top lifting leg) should have a sixth leg
in parallel as a safety back-up. ( Safety Factor for wire rope slings should be
not less then 10:1 )
It must be marked with a SWL and that it is suitable for man-riding
In addition, it is recommended that the following safety features are incorporated.
Note: These are not mandatory but considered good practice/design:
A roof to protect personnel from falling objects.
The base of the basket should have rubber buffers to prevent jarring of the
spine when being landed.
Certification data plate and markings board
The certification for the basket (including slings/shackles etc.) must be current, i.e.:
It must have a proof load test certificate.
It must have been inspected by a competent person within the previous 6
months
Note: The basket and accessories must also be inspected immediately before each
use by a competent person.
4.2 FROG / BILLY PUGH
Numbers of recorded personnel transfer basket incidents are low, but basket
transfers to or from offshore installations are considered a high-risk operation. The
Billy Pugh type of personnel transfer basket does not comply with regulation 5 of the
Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) but it can be
used in exceptional circumstances, ie emergencies or when transfer is essential and
it is not practicable to gain access by less hazardous means. Alternative forms of
basket such as FROG are available which duty holders should consider if they offer a
safer means of personnel transfer for their needs.
For additional guidance refer to HSE Safety notice: 1/2007 or 10/80 Apr 2001

Note: Frogs should be load tested yearly as per manufactures recommendations and
load bearing components should also be replaced as per manufactures chart
including two yearly change out of slings.
4.3 RIDING BELTS
Riding belts are work restraint, work positioning
(including rope access and
positioning techniques), fall arrest or rescue systems.
Ridding belts can be used only if:
A risk assessment has demonstrated that work can, so far as is reasonably
practicable, be performed safely while using the ridding belt
The use of other, safer work equipment is not justified
The user and a sufficient number of available persons have received
adequate training, including rescue provision
The riding belt is securely fitted
The various components of the riding belt are of sufficient strength to support
all known loads
The manufacturer‟s instructions should be checked to consider whether the item is
compatible with other equipment being used. All equipment used in conjunction with
ridding belts should be strong enough to withstand any forces placed upon it and
should include an adequate margin for safety. The equipment‟s safe working loads
(or minimum static strength), working load limits or maximum
(and sometimes,
minimum) rated loads should be checked.
Any equipment used for work at height is required to meet relevant European
Standards (i.e. it is CE marked and tested to relevant European norms (EN) and all
new PPE should be traceable to a certificate of conformity. The equipment should
also be marked with a unique identification number so that it can be traced back to its
point of origin and any test certificates and examination reports.
The need for rapid and effective rescue is particularly important when using
riding belts where a delay may have severe consequences, i.e. when someone
is left hanging motionless in a harness after a fall resulting in „suspension
trauma‟ as a result of restricted blood circulation. The time before loss of
consciousness can vary from about 6 minutes to 2 hours, depending on
physical capability and incident severity. Suitable rescue equipment and
competent personnel must be available on site at all times during the
completion of tasks at height.
4.4 FORKLIFT CAGES / INTEGRATED WORKING PLATFORMS
In the absence of specific design criteria for fabricated integrated working platforms
guidance on certain safety features can be adopted from the HSE Safety Notice:
PM28 December 2005.
Platforms for use on the fork arms of a truck shall have fork pockets on their
underside that will accommodate the fork arms spaced at the widest
practicable distance apart without excessive clearance between the pockets
and forks.
The locating (i.e. pickup) points on carriage mounted and fork arm mounted
working platforms shall be symmetrical about the centre line of the working

platform.
The dimensions of the platform shall be as small as possible, compatible with
the number of persons that it is intended to carry and the work they are likely
to undertake.
The platform dimension parallel to the fork arms, i.e. forward length of the
platform, shall not exceed 2 times the rated load centre distance of the truck.
The width of the platform shall not exceed the outside width over the truck
load wheels by more than 250mm either side.
A positive locking device shall be included on the platform to retain it on the
truck when in use.
The floor of the platform shall be of adequate strength, horizontal when
attached to the truck in its elevated position, slip resistant and designed to
prevent the accumulation of liquid. Any openings in mesh floors or between
the floor and toe-guards or access gates shall be dimensioned so as to pre
vent a sphere of 15mm diameter passing through.
A top rail being between 1000mm and 1100mm from the platform floor; and at
least one intermediate rail, equally spaced between the top of the toe board
and the under side of the top rail
A toe-board, having a minimum height of 150mm
Suitably sized and positioned handholds shall be fitted within the confines of
the working plat form. To allow for safe use, e.g. to allow use with gloved
hands, it is recommended that there is a gap of 90mm between any handhold
and the side of the platform.
Other equally effective means of guarding between the top rail and floor, such
as infilling with robust wire mesh, panelling and/or safety glazing may be
used.
Gate access should be provided and shall open inwards, upwards or
sideways and return automatically to the closed position. It is strongly
recommended that a device is provided that locks the gate automatically and
ensures it cannot be opened once the platform is raised.
Safety harness anchorages shall be included on the working platform
5
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Man-riding equipment shall be inspected and maintained by a competent person in
accordance with AZSPU-HSSE-DOC-00056-2 Lifting Operations.
In particular, man baskets must be:
Inspected immediately prior to use
Thoroughly examined before first use and thereafter every six months
In possession of all relevant up-to-date certification and have a valid thorough
examination record.
In addition to regular inspections, man baskets shall be thoroughly inspected
whenever the integrity of the basket may have been jeopardised or whenever other
risks are identified.

Note: When Billy Pugh‟s are not in use they are to be covered to protect them from
adverse weather conditions.
6 CRANE / WINCH SPECIFICATIONS FOR MANRIDING
6.1 INSPECTION, EXAMINATIONS AND CERTIFICATION
All cranes shall be operated and maintained in accordance with AZSPU-HSSE-DOC-
00056-2, Lifting Operations.
Cranes which are suitable for lifting people should be clearly marked at the crane
operator‟s location „SUITABLE FOR LIFTING PEOPLE‟ or „SUITABLE FOR MAN-
RIDING‟ and marked with the maximum number of people it can carry. Any crane
that is not marked should not be used to lift people or for man-riding.
In particular, the following guidelines apply to all cranes and associated lifting
equipment used for lifting personnel:
All necessary certification for the crane or winch, winch ropes, crane ropes,
end terminations, hook blocks and other associated equipment must be
current
The crane
/ winch and associated equipment must have undergone a
thorough inspection by a suitably competent person within the previous
twelve months
The crane must be in good condition and must have a full and complete
documented inspection record
All crane safety systems must be fully functional, including Rated Capacity
Indicators, over hoist limiters, emergency stop facilities, etc.
6.2 CRANE OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
Cranes used for lifting people should be equipped with hoist brakes that can be
operated mechanically under all load conditions. The brakes should be able to
support the specified test overload for the equipment.
The brakes should be automatically applied when the drive is in the
„OFF‟ or
„NEUTRAL‟ position, and on failure of the power supply to the motor or control
device. The braking operation should be progressive, to avoid any shock loading of
the hoisting system.
A second brake system should be provided for emergency use in case the normal
braking system fails. For cranes this should be fitted to both load and boom hoist
systems and be located as near to the hoist drums as possible. This brake should be
strong enough to hold indefinitely the weight of the carrier/slings and the number of
people carried. For hydraulic transmission system cranes, the braking effect of the
hydraulic system itself would be considered as meeting the requirement for a
secondary brake.

Clutches or other means of disengaging the drive train are prohibited for personnel-
lifting operations. This is unless there is a fail-safe interface making it impossible to
disengage the clutch when the drive train is in motion or when there is a load on the
hook. Free fall operation of load hoist or boom hoist systems is dangerous and
should be avoided. Any speed-change gearbox should be of constant mesh type and
designed so that it is not possible to change the gear ratio while the hoist system is
carrying any load.
The crane should be fitted with an emergency stop located for the operator to use. It
should be protected against accidental use. Operating the emergency stop should
arrest all motions of the crane. In the event of failure to re-start the prime mover, it
should be possible to recover the carrier by manual methods.
In the event of total power failure the crane should be fitted with a means of lowering
the work basket to a safe location.
Cranes used for man basket transfers must be capable of:
Maintaining the basket in a safe condition in the event of a power or system
failure (for example, primary brake system failure), and of allowing the safe
lowering of the basket (manually if necessary) to a safe position for the
passengers to be recovered safely
Preventing free-fall of the basket in the event of a primary brake or
transmission system failure
Preventing inadvertent free-fall when the drive train is in motion or whenever
the hook is loaded
6.3 WINCH REQUIREMENTS
Winches used for man-ridding should be specifically design for the task and fitted
with the correct safety devices consisting of the following:
Independent second brake system
Limited line pull device (Normally set to 150KG)
Slack line shut-off mechanism
Upper and lower limit switches
Emergency raise / lowering facilities (backup power, air supply)
Correctly terminated winch rope / accessories with a safety factor of not less
then 10:1
Functional rope spooling device
Rope drum guard
Clearly marked emergency stop button within easy reach of operator‟s hand
Clearly marked control leavers (UP, Down, Raise, lower or similar)
Additionally the sheave / snatch block used at the crown block shall have a minimum
diameter of 19 x the rope diameter.
6.4 FORKLIFT REQUIREMENTS
Primarily Forklift trucks are intended for lifting materials and not equipment. However,
they can be used with integrated working platforms to allow people to work at height.

It is essential that the working platform is compatible with the truck on which it is
used.
Before any combination is used for the first time the working platform and truck
manufacturer/supplier must be consulted. It is particularly important to ensure that:
The truck/working platform combination has adequate stability under all
circumstances in which it is intended to be used, and shall only be used on
firm, well- maintained and level surfaces. Gradients and uneven or
inconsistent ground conditions can affect the stability of the truck.
The platform can be securely attached to the truck.
People on the platform cannot reach hazardous moving parts or controls on
the truck.
The weight of the platform together with its load of people, tools, materials
etc. shall be not more than half of the actual capacity of the truck at the rated
load centre distance, maximum lift height and maximum out reach in the case
of telehandlers and reach trucks.
The following functions shall „NOT‟ be capable of movement whilst they are working;
tilt, side shift, chassis or mast levelling.
The truck should not be moved while the working platform is elevated, however,
minor controlled positional adjustments are acceptable if they are necessary to allow
the task to be carried out safely.
The parking brake shall be applied whenever the working platform is elevated. Where
applicable, the transmission placed in neutral before elevating the platform.
The user shall ensure that the platform is positively locked onto the truck with which it
is to be used.
If the platform is fork mounted then the fork arms on the truck shall preferably extend
fully into the fork pockets. If not this is possible, they shall extend to a distance of at
least 75% of the platform length measured parallel to the axes of the fork arms.
Where possible it is advisable to have a secondary restraining sling from the platform
to the mast.
Pre-use checks shall be carried out by an authorised person to ensure that the
working platform is properly located and secured to the truck each time and before it
is used.
7 COMMUNICATIONS
Communications for man-riding shall be clearly defined pre task. If radios are to be
used care should be taken to have only the people involved in the operation on the
radio channel. Care should be taken to ensure the radios have sufficient battery
charge for the whole operation.
Where possible a banks-man should form part of the work party to communicate to
the crane operator.

Hand signals are acceptable if the crane operator and banks-man have clear vision
of the work party at all times.
7.1 HAND SIGNALS FROM RIDING BELTS
These signals are unique to riding belt operations; the personnel involved with this
operation should be appropriately trained.
Pre task the person in the riding belt and the winch operator will confirm the hand
signals that will be used.
Hand signal posters should be readily available and posted in the appropriate areas.
7.2 FORKLIFT / INTEGRATED WORKING PLATFORM COMMUNICATIONS
There shall be adequate communication between the truck operator and persons on
the platform especially when raising and lowering. Hand held communication devices
or a system of signals should be used where communication is difficult.
When using hand signals an agreed system should be used and all involved trained
in its proper use. An example of commonly used hand signals is given in BS 7121
part 1.
8 RISK ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING
8.1 RISK ASSESSMENT
All man basket operations must undergo a Risk Assessment in accordance with
AZSPU-HSSE-DOC-00063-2 Task Risk Assessment.
The Risk Assessment shall determine:
The nature and degree of all the risks involved
What extra precautions should be taken to mitigate those risks, including
increased levels of supervision and the competence of the personnel involved
Whether a practicable alternative and safer means of personnel transfer is
available.
Note: If an alternative safer and practicable method of transfer is recognised, it
shall be used in preference to the use of a man basket.
8.2 PLANNING
Following a Risk Assessment, a procedure shall be produced that addresses:
All identified risks
The resources, procedures and responsibilities required to ensure a safe
operation
The contingency plans to be employed in the event of an emergency.
The Equipment used for man riding is of appropriate specification
Personnel have been trained, Have Experience of Work or transfer from
