5.4 Lifting considerations
LIFTING EQUIPMENT
All health & safety requirements as laid down by the vessel, shipyard or site safety regulations
must be checked and observed at all times when lifting any equipment. Any applicable local or
national regulations must also be observed
In line with Kelvin Hughes, shipyard, vessel and/ or site requirements, all appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) such as safety harnesses, fall arresters, hard hats, safety boots,
safety glasses and gloves must be inspected prior to use and worn at all times when lifting
equipment and when working aloft.
Never leave equipment unsupported on a mounting platform.
Ensure that tools or equipment cannot present any form of drop hazard.
Where special equipment such as cranes hoists and jigs is required, consideration must be given
to the authority to use such equipment.
During lifting, a safety zone shall be established beneath the lifting area, around any cranes or
platforms. Safety personnel must ensure that persons do not encroach into the area of work.
When making arrangements for lifting any equipment, consult with the lifting operator to obtain the
best and safest method of securing the lifting strops or ropes to the equipment.
Lifting operators should be advised of the areas of a system that are susceptible to damage such
as the SCV or SxV radome cover.
Check that the centre of gravity of the equipment cannot cause the lifting strops or ropes to slip or
move.
MANUAL LIFTING
The SCV/ SxV radome radar weights approximately 22Kg (SCV with anti-vibration mount & cable
bracket fitted) or 20kg (SxV) so may be manually lifted by two-people.
In addition to the precautions noted above, all manual lifting requirements and precautions must be
observed when lifting the equipment.
