  1. Lifting Gear TDI-Brooks Policies & Procedures Nov 2015

  2. TDI Lifting Gear The backbone of all TDI processes is our ability to safely lift, move and position heavy equipment.

  3. For this reason, TDI has developed strict policies and procedures regarding lifting gear.

  4. Standard Operating Procedures These procedures are explained in SOP-GEN-013A in the Safety Management Manual.

  5. What is lifting gear? • According to the International Association of Drilling Contractors, lifting gear is any components or equipment between the lifting appliance (crane, winch, tugger, lifting point) and the load. www.iadclexicon.org/lifting-gear//

  6. Purchased Gear • Our Resupply department has a Master List of approved lifting gear and suppliers that they must purchase from. • Each item must meet manufacturer specifications and is approved by our Engineering Department.

  7. Customized TDI Gear • Custom made gear for TDI Brooks is either made by an approved machinist shop or in house by our people. • All custom gear must meet TDI technical drawing specifications and be load tested before deployment to the field.

  8. This is why you may NOT use unapproved gear for lifting or purchase lifting gear on your own. Contact resupply@tdi-bi.com to request lifting gear.

  9. Inspection & Maintenance The person using the gear is responsible for inspecting it before use.

  10. Quarantine damaged gear Damaged lifting gear is to be condemned with red paint and/ or destroyed beyond use and quarantined below decks to prevent accidental use.

  11. Lifting Gear Registers (LGRs) • Each vessel has a Lifting Gear Register. • It contains the history of the gear on that vessel. • It also contains Load Certs for lift gear

  12. Tracked in the (LGR) Any lift gear item with a serial number is tracked in the Lifting Gear Register. This includes: • Sheaves/ Blocks • Pendants • Fall Arrest Harnesses • Slings & Chain Falls • Rope on winches/ tuggers/ crane/& rescue boat davit

  13. LGR Responsibilities • The Masteris responsible for ensuring any new gear brought on board is documented in the LGR. • The Party Chief is responsible for reporting to the Master any new gear they bring on board.

  14. LGR Responsibilities • Anyone adding/ removing an item from service is responsible for updating the LGR and notifying the First Mate to order replacements as needed.

  15. Record “in service” and “out of service” dates • Any gear that has a serial number should have service dates recorded in the Lifting Gear Register (LGR). • If youput it into service, you must enter the “in service” dates in the LGR. • If youremove it from service, youmust enter the “out of service” date in the Lifting Gear Register.

  16. How to enter in service and out of service dates in LGR

  17. Lifting Gear Specs are on the Ship Web Pages

  18. Annual Inspection Each year, a qualified rigger must inspect all lifting gear. Gear that passes the inspection is painted with the new year’s color.

  19. This Crosby shackle is specified for use on our Lifting Gear Master List

  20. The pin has been painted to indicate it has been inspected and approved for use. So what’s wrong?

  21. The top of the shackle should also be painted – since they are two separate parts.

  22. Pendant and Shackle Colors • Each year, a list of pendant and shackle colors is sent to the fleet. (posted on TDI Forms page) • It should be posted on the deck and where the gear is stored.

  23. Sling Inspection Slings are often overlooked as part of lifting gear inspections. Like all gear, they should be inspected before each use and removed from service if damaged.

  24. Sling Inspection TDI uses 3 basic types of slings: Alloy Chain slings Synthetic slings Wire rope slings

  25. Sling Inspection ANSI B30.9 establishes criteria for removal from service of slings. Common elements: • Missing or illegible sling identification • Acid or welding burns • Melting, charring or other heat damage • Holes, tears, cuts or snags

  26. Sling Inspection ANSI B30.9 establishes criteria for removal from service of slings. Common elements: • Core yarn exposed, damaged or broken • KNOTS in the sling • Discoloration, brittle or stiff areas indicating damage • Corroded, pitted or damaged fittings

  27. Sling Inspection The label will often tell you what to look for:
