Design of Standard Operational Procedures of Flip and Lifting Material Processes

Abstract

The manufacturing industry is inseparable from the process of lifting material using a crane. The demands of the machining process require the material to be flipped and lifting material. In many companies, flip and lifting material is a high-risk process, because the material has a big load so can be potential to work accident. Mostly, the operator of the crane does the flip material process based on their experience, so that each operator has a different way. The design of SOP aims to equate the procedure and to reduce the HARC score so that the process becomes safer and controlled. The approach that the researchers used was the RIE project. Based on the design of SOP, founded that SOP for flip and lifting material is highly recommended for the operator of a crane, so the operator can work safely. Based on the validation process with the HSE Expert, the SOP is declared as a suitable guide for the operator in conducting flip and lifting material. Therefore, the HARC score decreased from 6 to 4. It means the process of flip and lifting material is safer and still needs continuous improvement with the SOP to the next improvement with different conditions.
