Cite. The drawing on this table wins.

User manuals from the manufacturer. Do not copy a hire-yard note as this site’s method.

PURPOSE

Stop a corner or nontypical table from being flown on the typical cycle. WorkSafeBC and BC Crane Safety call these out as a separate plan.

SCOPE

The crew when the table is a corner, infill, reduced-width, or any table the drawing or the engineer marks nontypical. Do GOSPEL-SWP-028 as well. This SWP does not replace it.

This document is the method — the steps. Hazards, consequence and residual risk for the same work are in the JHA library. A procedure is not a hazard analysis. A hazard analysis is not a procedure.

PROCEDURE

01
NAME IT
This table is nontypical — said on the SJP, said in the brief. If nobody can say why, it is not ready.
02
THE SPECIAL PLAN
Engineered handling plan for this table at the lift. Not a note in the margin of the typical drawing. Pick points, sling lengths, COG, extra tag lines, extra holds — as that plan.
03
THEN THE CYCLE
Do GOSPEL-SWP-028 on top of that plan. Gate, drop, roll, attach, fly, land. The crane still does not pull the table out.
04
STOP
Anyone treating it as a typical table, any missing pin, any change from the special plan — stop. Rewrite. Do not improvise a corner fly.

RESPONSIBILITIES

This program

The published method for the work. Stop-work is named in it. It does not own the site.

Supervisor

Confirms the plan, the crew, the zone and the stop criteria. Owns whether the hook moves.

Crane operator

Runs only the machine they are competent on, to the chart, after inspection. Stops on an unclear signal or a broken plan.

Rigger

Selects, inspects and applies the hitch. Does not guess weight, centre of gravity or angle.

Signalperson

One set of hands on the crane. Holds the zone. STOP means stop.

Worker

Works to this program and to site rules — whichever is stricter. Uses the three rights. Reports damaged gear.

Formwork supervisor (host)

Drops, rolls and lands the table to the manufacturer cycle and the engineered drawing. The crane crew does not lower jacks or invent a cycling sequence.

Prime contractor

Coordinates floors, drawings, inspections and exclusion. Not a spectator. WorkSafeBC names this duty on flytable work.

REQUIRED COMPETENCY

Same as GOSPEL-SWP-028
Can say why this table is not typical, and what the special plan changes

EQUIPMENT

GOSPEL-SWP-028 equipment
The special handling plan for this table
GOSPEL-SJP-002 / FRM-052 marked nontypical

PPE

Hard hat
CSA-grade footwear
High-visibility clothing
Eye protection
Task-rated gloves
Hearing protection where required
Fall protection where the work exposes a fall

PROHIBITED PRACTICES

Flying a corner table on the typical SJP
Guessing sling lengths because the typical table used them
Skipping the extra tag line or spotter the special plan names

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Same as GOSPEL-SWP-028. A nontypical table that starts to spin is a stop, not a recovery with more hoist.

DOCUMENTATION

GOSPEL-SJP-002 / FRM-052 marked nontypical
