5.9 Code of Practice ftw Handling of Tubes and Fittings
Asa result of tatting, it is possible that burn and marl may be present on the end cuts of tubes.
When handling ensure that protective gloves are worn.
5.93 Protective clothing and gloves should be worn wheal handling products coated with corrosion
preventative oils or varnishes and normal standards of hygiene should be observed e.g. regular
washing and changing of overalls.
Bagged ancillary fittings are generally supplied in plastic or hessian bags and these may break
open if not properly handled. Bags of andantes and fittings should be handled with care and the
package examined before lifting to ensure that there art no splits in the container. On no account
should hooks be used to handle the packages.
Bundling lies, ropes or steel bands surrounding bundles of tube are intended only to prevent
separation during transit and storage. Under no drcumstances should bundling ties, ropes etc. be
used as lifting points or be relied on to secure bundles during lifting or other movement.
Hot rolled or treated tube may exhibit a certain amend of surface scale. This may give rise to
flying particles when machining, so the appropriate eye protection shoold be worn.
When subjected to dented temperatures as daring welding, hearing, flame netting etc. steel
tubes coated with corrosion inhibitor such as preventative oils or varnishes may give rise to
noxious limes. in particular, zinc called (galvanised) tubes give off tine oxide fumes when
subjected to elevated temperatares. As precautionary and protective onsores care should be
taken to minimise exposure to such fume, and ensure adequate ventilation is provided.
In the tam of handling Large diameter steel or east iron pipe it is important to assess the risk
involved and apply the following bask principles:
If the pipe has to be carried it is important to make sure that you have a dear
unobstructed path and beware of slippery surfaces.
Never try to lift more than you feel comfortable with and ensure that you can see over
the load when carrying it.
Ensure you ha e s fin, grip with the palms of the hands and the roots of the fingers,
and never change grip while carrying — rest the load first on some lino support, then
change.
When carrying homy Pipe two or more men must be used The same basic principles
apply when two or more men are lifting the same object, however the lifting gam) mast
work as a team and be given instructions by one man only.
When lifting heavy pipe into position, above head height, it is important to prepare •
suitable working platform to operate from to ensure that no over-reaching Gann. You
must ensure that each man in the team knows precisely what to do and how to do it.
Where dealing with henvY lengths of pipe, a block and tackle set up should be used to
winch the pipe into the approximate position, so that manual handlingillftiog is kept to
minimum.

All work from a ladder can be carried out without over-
stretching and with one hand on the ladder at all times
The ladder is tied-off and than-fore cannot slip
The ladder is placed on firm ground or positioned on a board
to prevent sinking into soft ground
Ladders are only used as a means of access, not as a place
of work
Materials that could cause instability are not carried up
ladders
A second person is to foot the ladder when it cannot be
effectively secured and it W otherwise safe to do so
Only ladders that are in good condition with no visible defects
are used
Ladders are set at the correct angle, 1 unit out for every 4
units of height to its point of rest (ladder rests at an angle of
75 degrees)
Ladders extend to at least 1 metre (about 5 tunas) above the
landing point, or an alternative handhold is provided
