Onshore LLFP
Training Operational Requirements
Slings
Synthetic Slings
Synthetic slings (e.g. nylon web, poly-round, fiber rope) may only be used where:
• there is no practicable alternative, and
• wire rope could crush or damage unprotected loads (e.g. piping or equipment with specialized coatings, rotating components from machinery,
fragile equipment, etc.).
During rare occasions where a synthetic sling is exposed to a dynamic/offboard lift, the lift must:
• be considered a critical lift and thus subject to additional requirements for job planning and operating practice, and
• use slings with a working load rating that is double the load being lifted (e.g. a five-ton straight lift requires a sling with a 10-ton working load
rating).
Synthetic slings must not be used when exposed to:
• sharp edges or rough surfaces,
• temperatures exceeding 194°F, and
• chemicals,
or the load may rotate in the sling.
Chain Slings
Chain slings will be used only under the following circumstances:
• During onshore rig moves
• When approved for use by the SEPCo/Contract supervisor

Spreader Bars and Special Lifting Devices
Spreader bars and special lifting devices are fabricated steel structures typically used to ensure that rigging connected
between the bar/frame and the load is vertical. Unlike a spreader bar, special lifting devices are engineered for specific
lifting applications.
The QP shall be instructed in the use of the device by a designated person.
Instructions should include, but are not limited to the following:
• Application of the lifter to the load and adjustments, if any, that adapt the lifter to various sizes or kinds of loads
• Instructions for any special operations or precautions
• The manufacturer’s recommended operating procedures
• Store the lifter to protect it from damage
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of the lifter

Plate Clamps
The use of plate clamps is restricted to situations where the plate is:
• being removed from a racking system, or
• being moved a short distance with the lift maintained just above the deck/ground.
Universal plate clamps can lift a plate from horizontal to vertical and vice versa but must not be used to transport plates
horizontally.

Training Competency
Overview
Training Authority
The custodian of this Standard approves all training courses outlined in the Competency Matrix below. Approved courses will be designated as
“SEPCo Accepted”.

Competency Assessment
To ensure competency of Lifting Appliance QO/QPs, employers shall have a competency assessment process in place. In addition, SEPCo shall
specifically ensure the competency of Offshore Pedestal Crane QOs by performing assessments of all Offshore Pedestal Crane QOs every two
years using a SEPCo-accepted offshore pedestal crane operator competency assessment tool.

Local Lifting Focal Point (LLFP)

Qualifications:
• Prior crane (mobile or pedestal) operator certification and experience operating cranes is preferred (not required).
• LLFP Training every 4 years
• Relevant onshore or offshore crane operator and rigging schools
• Competency assessment training defined and approved by custodian of this Standard
• Detailed training on the OPS0055 Standard requirements
• Recordkeeping requirements

Competency Matrix and Training Course Details
Course Curricula
Individual training course curricula will be available separately and posted on the SEPCo HSE Controlled Document
Livelink site and the Contractor Safety Management Process’ “HSE Standards / Procedures / Guidelines” web page.

SEPCo- Accepted Contractor Training Courses


Contractors may develop their own training courses to meet the competency and training requirements of this document.
For a contractor’s training to be accepted by SEPCo, the contractor must:
• show a business need,
• meet the course curricula requirements of the OPS0055 Lifting and Hoisting Training curricula,
• have the course approved as “SEPCo-Accepted” by the custodian of OPS0055 Lifting and Hoisting Standard (i.e.
SEPCo’s Technical Authority for Lifting and Hoisting), and
• agree to submit all training records to SEPCo’s Training Database for tracking purposes.
Note: Contact Shell’s Robert Training and Conference Center for details on SEPCo’s Training Database at 504-728-1200
or 985-543-1200.

LLFP will only have to verify that trained personnel are in TRNDB for compliance with OPS0055 REV 1.0
If personnel are not in TRNDB then they are not in compliance and therefore will not be allowed to perform
lifting and hoisting operations.

Testing sequence for Crane Operators

1. Written test-- Give them the question test and then verify that the answers are correct. Operator can only miss 5
questions. If they miss more than 5 they need to go back and study the standard OPS0055 and retake the test. If they
miss less than 4 just go over the ones that they missed.

2. Pre-use Inspection-- Watch the Operator perform the pre-use inspection and grade them on the assessment
sheet. Then go over the pre-use inspection with the Operator and discussed any missed items., If the Operator missed
anything on the first pre-use inspection, there will need to be another pre-use inspection assessment performed.

3. Next they will go operate the Crane and you will need to periodically assess them as they perform the
operation of the Crane. Depending on their progression level you will need to supervise their lifts.
