Hands free lifting objectives
To eliminate hand and finger injuries by
removing them from the energy source
To eliminate caught-between, struck-by and
struck-against incidents
To identify safer methods of handling
suspended loads and the use of lifting
apparatus through:
engineering
work practices and systems
tools
To use existing facility processes (e.g. JHA
and/or PTW processes)

Why hands free? • After years of decline, injury frequency
rates have leveled off
• New approaches required to eliminate
residual injuries
• Hand injuries represent about 1/2 of all
injuries. Hand injuries represent the
majority of more serious, recordable,
injuries
• Caught between and crush incidents can
be fatal
• Huge amount of lifts offshore = huge risk
exposure ...in a dynamic environment
due to rig movement; wind effects (etc)
and confined areas
Eliminating handling of suspended loads is a step change to Zero Harm
"If you always do what
you've always done, you'll
always get what you've
always got.”

Personnel not touching a load (with any part of their body)
that is connected to a mechanical lifting device. That is
…as the load is being lifted or before the load is properly
set down and all potential energy is released.

Applying the hierarchy of control to the problem
5. Administrate
3. Redesign
2. Substitute
1. Eliminate
4. Separate
1. The complete elimination of the
hazard
2. Replacing the material or process with a
less hazardous one
3. Redesign the equipment or work
process
4. Isolating the hazard by guarding or
enclosing it
5. Providing admin controls such as
training, procedures, etc.
6. Use appropriate and properly fitted PPE
where other controls are not practical

A change ... emotional
Change means different things to different people!
• Challenge: winning commitment of rig leaders
• Challenge: resisting strong push back from crews
• Challenge: overcoming deeply engrained behaviours
• Challenge: building a hands free culture on the rig
I’m not
changing!

A change ... to the system of work
Notes
Work crews develop
‘hands-free
exemption’ lists
specific to their area
of operation (deck;
drill floor etc)
Lists are posted at
prominent locations
Increased emphasis
on ‘hands-free’
practices via JHA
and/or PTW process
TASKS INVOLVING LIFTS AND / OR
SUSPENDED LOADS

Supportive strategies (examples)
Discuss hands free initiative with drilling contractor
early (buy-in); present to crews at campaign inductions
Ban polka dot gloves - only using impact type gloves
Mandate that gloves are to be worn at all times in the
workplace
Regular discussion point at pre-tour and safety
meetings
Ensuring loads packed securely, all lifting equipment
checked and certified (and inspected); QAQC
processes
Hand and finger preservation campaigns
Cameras on the crane booms
Active support by Drilling Contractor and crew;
Title Holder including Supervisor’s and HSE
coaches on the rig

Visible management commitment and
leadership - without it, it will
fail…guaranteed (definitely a top down
initiative)
Ensuring the total workforce is educated
on the initiative (all shifts / swings
…something we don't always get right)
Make sure all the tools are available for
use at 'go live' date (and ongoing)
Set a hard 'go live' date and be
unwavering in expectations / requirements
(i.e. no fuzzy implementation date)
Lessons for success

An acceptance that in the early learning /
trialing phase that it may take a bit longer to do
the job
Have the crews identify what should be
included on the hands free list; and then work
with them to reduce the list
Identify ‘hands free champions’ (converts) as
early as possible and get them actively involved
in the initiative
Coaching, giving time and having
patience are critical to it’s success

Lifts and weights for Santos 2011 campaign
Between April – July this year,
we moved over 5000 tonne of
equipment representing over
1400 lifts*
*The actual number of lifts is
considerable higher as loads are
often moved a number of times
due to operational requirements
/ competition for space

The Results speak for themselves
We have had zero injuries associated with
suspended loads since going
‘hands free’
Hands Free Operations work!
