- Additionally, at the end of the talk, Daelim’s Safety Manager (Mr. Shawn), acknowledged the effort done by the company safety team and expressed the important of keeping the site clean and tidy, ‘free-of-littering’. He pointed the analogy akin to the Singapore’s culture and all foreign workers should value this habit and adopt it.
He should strictly refer to the applicable relevant lifting chart to obtain & understand the information (e.g. lifting weight, working radius, boom angle, etc). It is governed by the MOM regulations that lifting supervisor must know how to read the load chart and ensure all lifting equipment to have valid LM certificate.
If the lifting hook will be used in the operations, the riggerman should inform Lifting Supervisor to replace the lifting hook. He should NOT perform any lifting operations with faulty lifting equipment.
