3 1, October 1997 NORSOK standardPage 3 of 35 FOREWORDNORSOK (The competitive standing of the Norwegian offshore sector) is the industry initiative toadd value, reduce cost and lead time and remove unnecessary activities in offshore fielddevelopments and NORSOK standards are developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry as a part of theNORSOK initiative and are jointly issued by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association) andTBL (Federation of Norwegian Engineering Industries). NORSOK standards are administered byNTS (Norwegian Technology Standards Institution).

4 The purpose of this industry Standard is to replace the individual oil company specifications for usein future petroleum industry developments and operations , subject to the individual company'sreview and NORSOK standards make extensive references to international standards. Where relevant, thecontents of this Standard will be used to provide input to the international standardisation to implementation into international standards, this NORSOK Standard will be A is B is C is primary purpose of this Standard is to provide owners and users of LIFTING EQUIPMENT on anoffshore installation with a framework and guidance to enable them to operate LIFTING EQUIPMENT in asafe and efficient manner.

5 The purpose of this Standard is to focus on safe OPERATION of liftingequipment in order to establish, maintain and further develop an adequate level of safety forpersonnel, the environment and for physical assets during planning and execution of preparing this Standard , due considerations have been taken to Norwegian statutoryregulations, OLF guidelines, international and European standards and to operating companiesinternal specifications and procedures concerning the safe use of LIFTING appliances and LIFTING this NORSOK Standard gives information to many user groups special guidelines for thedifferent groups may need to be EQUIPMENT OperationR-003 Rev.

6 1, October 1997 NORSOK standardPage 4 of 351 SCOPEThis NORSOK Standard establishes requirements and guidelines for safe OPERATION of liftingequipment in the petroleum activities. It covers LIFTING appliances and LIFTING gear used in connectionwith LIFTING operations offshore. It does not cover drilling hoisting tools on the drill floor or in thedrilling derrick specifically designed and used for drilling operations or in the support of suchoperations, neither does it cover safe use of lifts, trucks and suspended scaffolding.

7 Examples oflifting EQUIPMENT covered and not covered by this Standard are shown in annex covered include safe systems of work, , management, planning, OPERATION , selection,inspection/examination/testing and maintenance of LIFTING appliances and LIFTING gear as applicableas well as the requirements for competence of crane operators, slingers and NORMATIVE REFERENCESThe following regulations and standards include provisions which, through reference in this text,constitute provisions of this NORSOK Standard . Latest issue of the references shall be used unlessotherwise agreed.
