DROPS

Planning and supervising of lifting operations

Dropped objects survey and training OIS provide qualified inspectors to conduct a thorough dropped objects survey of the Derrick/Mast and agreed surrounding areas, documenting findings with photographic support and providing recommendations for their rectification.

At OIS, we understand that lifting operations are among the most critical and high-risk activities conducted in the oil and gas industry. Proper planning and supervision of lifting operations not only ensures efficiency but more importantly, guarantees the safety of personnel, equipment, and the worksite. Our team of certified lifting supervisors and competent rigging personnel are trained to the highest industry standards and possess hands-on experience in various lifting scenarios.

Our approach to lifting operations begins with a comprehensive risk assessment and site evaluation. We work closely with clients to understand the scope and complexity of the lift, identify potential hazards, and develop a detailed lifting plan. Each plan includes load weight calculations, equipment selection, method statements, exclusion zones, and contingency measures. This ensures that the lifting activity is executed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with international and regional safety standards.

During the execution phase, OIS supervisors oversee the entire operation, coordinating with crane operators, riggers, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless communication and adherence to the lift plan. We also ensure that all lifting equipment has valid certification and is inspected before and after use. Our supervisors are trained to respond to on-site emergencies and can make informed decisions to suspend operations if any safety breach is detected.

Whether it is a routine lift or a complex multi-crane lifting operation, OIS provides the expertise and leadership needed to complete the job safely, on time, and within budget.
