./ Angola re:uirements Introduction
To ensure lifting operations are e>ecuted safely and in compliance ith legislation and conformance ith BP Angola requirements, it is important that ey personnel are familiar ith the requirements of this procedure. To meet BP!s 4olden 6ules of 1afety, A*4564*50P5P605(( Angola "ontrol of

The Lifting %ngineer EL%F, or their delegate, shall $erify that all identied direct and related riss are eecti$ely managed through ris assessment, planning, e>ecution and monitoring. %ach site shall ha$e a system for managing lifting operations, ensuring that e$ery lift uses a systematic repeatable process, implementing safeguards, controls and lessons learned and thus a$oiding repeat incidents. The primary considerations hen planning or e>ecuting lifting operations are'
Personal safety.

8ull compliance ith legislation, BP Angola procedures and accepted best practice.
This shall not be limited directly to the lifting operation, but shall also consider any consequences that could be caused by a lifting operation if a catastrophic failure occurred. This often falls outside a lifting contractor or or group!s core sills, and therefore may require a multi5discipline approach. 2inimum training and competency le$el requirements for BP Angola employees, and BP Angola agency and contract employees, are dened in this procedure Esee 1ection -.7F, together ith details of an appro$ed method to be able to assess competence accurately. ceed the requirements stipulated by the 3H L0L%6, the lifting operations shall be performed under the 3H L0L%6. Local legal requirements shall alays be adhered to. This procedure is regarded as the minimum requirements for the BP5oned or managed sites ithin BP Angola This procedure ensures that the BP Angola orforce and third5party personnel and contractors apply common methods and or practices to the same standards across all BP Angola sites.

The eects of raising loads from the dec and landing them elsehere may aect the $essels motion, trim, heel and stability, depending on the eight of the load in relation to the sie of the $essel and the height and position of the boom head in relation to the $essel centre of gra$ity. This can be of note for e$en relati$ely small, increasing in signicance for hea$y lifting operations
