MOVING IN HIGH RISK AREAS)

1.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that the movement of a crane, piling rig or other large plant
item, in high risk areas of the site, is carried out in a safe manner, with all safety measures and
precautions taken to mitigate the hazards identified. This procedure is not intended to control the
slewing or luffing motion of the crane or localized tracking or spragging at the point of work.
This procedure is developed to strengthen the existing control measures implemented by the Works
Package Contractor (WPC) and is in addition to the requirements of the relevant legislation, contract
requirements and WPCsown procedures. The implementation of this procedure does not relieve the
WPC of their statutory or contractual requirements or obligations.

2.

SCOPE

This Procedure is applicable to all PDP Works related to the KVMRT Project carried out by the Works
Package Contractors (WPCs). It is mandatory for the WPCs and their Sub-contractors.
