work box or personnel cradle is secured to a suitable point on the landing, and access and egress does not take place unless a fall arrest harness is properly worn and attached to a suitable anchorage on the structure. Information on crane work boxes is provided in the Information Sheet: Crane-lifted work boxes and the . Lifting equipment like spreaders, slings and hooks used on shore and on board vessels to raise, suspend and lower loads should be well maintained and regularly inspected and tested. Shipboard cranes maintenance records should be checked and any issues with the lifting equipment corrected before they are used. Loose gear for lifting Ensure that the lifting equipment like spreader bars and beams, slings, chains and hooks is: in serviceable condition suitable for the task and of adequate capacity for the load being lifted with an appropriate safety factor, and appropriately certified. Developing a lifting plan which documents the control measures may assist in minimising the risk of incorrect equipment or methods being used. A rigging chart may be developed to ensure appropriate lifting techniques are used with the safest lift angles. Consider all securing methods, for example single or double wrap and chains. Specific lifting or slinging methods may be necessary to eliminate or minimise the risk of a load slipping, for example double wrap or single choke with sliding ring. Take into account the condition of equipment, including age and wear. It is important to check the gear register and certificates relating to lifting gear, but not to rely solely on paperwork as it may be inaccurate or inadequate. Lifting gear should be inspected by a suitably qualified person, certified and tagged. Regular visual inspection of lifting equipment should be carried out during operation by a suitably qualified person, for example a rigger. Slings should be protected from sharp edges. APPENDIX A: Access hatch (man-hatch) provides access for people into and out of a hold. Break bulk means non-containerised cargo transported as individual pieces due to it being oversized and overweight e.g. construction equipment, oil and gas equipment, wind towers and steel. Bulk means a product not separately packaged but rather is loaded in bulk onto a ship e.g. grain, liquids, iron ore and coal. Common user means a facility where multiple operators share the same wharf, apron or vessel. Cargo space for a vessel, means a space intended for the carriage of cargo including a trunkway or hatchway to the space.
