Implementation
Steps of Operation BEFORE Implementing Selected Solution.
Step 1: Preparation
Prepare manpower, accessories
and crane service.
Step 2: Administration
Apply permits (cold work, lifting, road
closure permits). Conduct tool box
briefing. Inform control/guard room.
Validate document
Step 3: Site Inspection & LMRA
Cordon off to prevent unnecessary entry.
Conduct inspection with checklist
Conduct LMRA (Last Minute Risk
Assessment)
Step 4: Trial Lift
(w/o load)
Ensure all measures
taken prior to actual lift
Step 5: Lifting and
Change Wind Sock
Commence lift and
change wind sock
Step 6. Completion
Complete work and
finish off all
administrative work.

Proposed Solutions

Proposal 1 - Telescopic Structure:
–
–
–
–

Proposal 2 - Pulley System:
–
–
–
–

Simple and effective idea
Not practical; Corrodes easily and flimsy.
Expose to inclement weather; possibility of the wind sock structure to
topple.
Expose to caught in between hazard while adjusting the telescopic pole
Not effective.
Design not suitable for strong wind condition.
Rope can get entangled with wind sock and pulley.
Pulley requires maintenance
Proposal 3 - Two-Section Structure
–
–
–
Safe, effective and strong
Easy to implement.
Minimum maintenance was required.

Safe operation and very minimum hazard exposure.

Reduce work steps (no machinery used, less man/ materials
utilized and minimum administration)

Increase productivity and morale of workers.

Enhance efficiency and maintenance effectiveness.

Less time waste (no need to wait for crane and applying
permit)

No possibility of environmental issues.

Confidence in our team’s ability to address and overcome
problems has been enhanced.

Teamwork, sense of team identity and team morale has
improved.

Conclusion

Infineum Maintenance Team has always believed in making our plant
a safe working environment for our colleagues, contractors and
visitors.

The Maintenance Team looks forward for more challenges and
opportunity to enhance the safety and health in Infineum

Lastly, we all know that lifting equipment is the second highest
contributor of workplace deaths in 2006 and it has always been in
the area of safety concern.

Safety as a Culture in Infineum, we have taken steps to prevent
such occurrences in the plant and at the same time contributing to a
healthier nationwide safety statistics
