Key Points:
List the
top
3 Key Points
you took away from this week’s reading of
1918 subparts E-I.
1.
The first Key point that struck me was 1918.41(b)(1) There will be a three-foot
working space between the stowed cargo and the coaming at both sides and one
end of the hatches with athwartship hatch beams, and both ends of those hatches
with fore and aft hatch beams, before intermediate deck hatch covers, and hatch
beams are removed or replaced.
2.
The second Key point I found interesting was 1918.42(b) Bridles for lifting hatch
beams would be equipped with toggles, shackles, hooks, or other devices of the
design so that they cannot become accidentally dislodged from the hatch beams
that are being used.
3.
Finally, the third key takeaway from this week’s reading would be 1918.43(j).
When a hatch is to be covered, hatch covers or night tents shall be used.

Reflection: Choose one key point and
explain precisely
why it is important
for
safety.
The critical point I found most important to safety is 1918.42(b). When planning
an overhead lifting project and needing to specify the type of sling and rigging
equipment, it is vital to understand the best type of sling to use and, just as
important, to select the correct type of rigging hardware that will be connected to
that sling. Choosing the correct type of lifting problem-solving will be determined
by several factors, such as the total weight of the load, the type of load or material
you will be lifting, and the number of lifting points. These are factors to be
considered when choosing the correct rigging equipment.
3.
Application/Problem-Solving:
Describe a recommended action that details how to
practically solve a specific problem or accomplish one of the important points from your
reflection.
When it comes down to it, the most crucial part of determining what hook to use
for an overhead lift is asking yourself, “how am I connecting to the load?” For
example, will the load have eye bolts, swivel hoist rings, and engineered lifting
points, or will you use shackles to connect the hooks? Furthermore, as I discussed
in the previous paragraph, you will also need to understand the total weight of the
load, the type of sling being used, and the type of sling hitch being used.
You can partner with a reputable rigging shop or rigging equipment supplier to
determine the best hooks for your application. This will ensure that the design of
the hook and its Working Load Limit is adequate for the lifts you will be
performing. Lifting and rigging training by certified inspectors to fulfill
OSHA/ASME periodic inspection requirements is also an excellent idea.
