Lifting Alert & Moments
Lifting Alerts and Moment
Thorough planning and specific hazard identification for lifting operations, working at height, and preventing potential dropped objects will allow hazards to be safely managed.
Resources included in this section will help you to:
🔺 Improve hazard awareness of routine lifting tasks and their potential to cause a major accident
🔺 Identify and manage hazards related to working at height
🔺 Increase awareness of potential dropped objects and their effects

This quarter’s theme of “Safe Lifting, Working at Height, and Preventing Dropped Objects” is a regular focus area of health and safety teams and is equally relevant to offshore and onshore operations.
Data from Step Change in Safety’s electronic observation system (e-obs) identifies just how frequently these concerns arise.
When combined, cards submitted featuring line of fire, safe mechanical lifting and “other” contribute the highest number of unsafe behaviours. Examination of the “other” category show most concerns are as a result of tripping hazards, obstructions and potential dropped objects due to poor housekeeping. It is also worth noting that gravity is the second most selected hazard to date.
Our resources range from one page safety alerts to 15min videos. We encourage you to browse and share with your colleagues to help reduce the number of incidents in this area.

Dropped Objects, Sweeps and Working at Height
Dropped objects and falls from height have been a frequent cause of oil and gas industry incidents
Crane Operations
Crane operations are a critical part of moving equipment to, from and around assets on a daily basis within the oil and gas industry
Mechanical Lifting
There are a number of mechanical lifting aids on our sites which if used correctly can significantly reduce the need for manual handling
Lifting Equipment and Hands-Free Tools
It's essential that all lifting equipment used onsite is controlled, suitably rated for the task, certified for use, and suitable for its intended application.
