Full Product Description

The Code of Practice for Selection, Management, Use, Maintenance and Examination of Hand Chain Hoists and Lever Hoists in the Offshore Environment including Sub-sea was originally created in response to research by the HSE/OSD into a series of incidents involving hand chain hoists and lever hoists in the offshore industry. This latest version improves on the original requirements of the guide and implements ‘state of the art’ practices and technologies

Despite that offshore and sub-sea environments are characterised by corrosive conditions, extremes of temperature, and frequent use of lifting equipment up to maximum capacity, the research revealed widespread use of standard industrial products not specifically designed for the rigours of marine applications. The standard of maintenance and management procedures was also found to vary widely.

Selecting lifting equipment most suited to the environment can obviously mitigate some of the additional risks inherent in offshore applications. However, good maintenance, examination, inspection, transportation, storage and control procedures are equally important. The Code addresses all these areas. Alongside offshore applications, it may also be of value in other industries characterised by arduous operating environments.

Contents include –

  • Legal requirements
  • Selection of equipment
  • Information and data requirements
  • Thorough examination including verification testing
  • Requirements for transportation, storage and control
  • Maintenance
  • Historical records
  • Planning the lifting operation and safe use of hand chain blocks and lever hoists
  • Training and competency
  • Checklists for thorough examination
  • Model data sheet and report of thorough examination

This publication is a useful pocket size and can be carried around on site.
