Rigging, lifting, and setting skylight glass using a glass power cup at the CLEO jobsite, Mortenson general contractor, focusing on fall protection, pinch points, and equipment inspection compliance.

Expected Duration: 8 hours

Number of Workers: 4

Required PPE and Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment

• Hard Hat: Ensures head protection from falling objects and overhead hazards. Must meet ANSI Z89.1 standards.
• Safety Glasses: Provides eye protection against dust, debris, and potential chemical splashes. Must meet ANSI Z87.1 standards.
• Gloves: Protects hands from cuts, abrasions, and potential contact with chemicals or sharp edges of glass.
  • Leather gloves for general handling
  • Cut-resistant gloves when handling glass
• Safety Boots: Provides foot protection against falling objects, punctures, and compression. Must meet ASTM F2413 standards.
• Fall Protection Harness: Full body harness with appropriate lanyard and anchor point for fall arrest. Must meet OSHA requirements for fall protection.
• High-Visibility Vest: High-visibility vest to ensure workers are seen by equipment operators and other personnel.

Tools and Equipment

• Glass Power Cup: Used for lifting and placing skylight glass. Ensure the power cup is rated for the weight of the glass and is inspected before each use.
• Crane: Used for hoisting the skylight glass. Cranes must be inspected daily and operated by certified personnel.
  • Ensure load charts are available
  • Conduct daily inspections
• Rigging Slings: Used for securing the glass during lifting. Slings must be inspected for damage before each use and have appropriate load ratings.
• Two-Way Radios: Used for communication between the ground crew and the crane operator. Radios must be in good working condition with charged batteries.
• Scaffolding: Used to access the work area. Scaffolding must be erected by competent personnel and inspected before use.
  • Ensure proper bracing
  • Inspect for stability

Hazard Analysis

Identified Hazards

Hazard	Risk Level	Potential Consequences
Falling from heights while rigging or setting the skylight glass.	High	Serious injury or death.
Being struck by falling glass or equipment.	High	Serious injury or death.
Pinch points and crushing hazards during rigging and setting.	Medium	Crushing injuries, fractures, or amputations.
Cuts and lacerations from handling glass.	Medium	Minor to serious cuts and lacerations.
Equipment malfunction (e.g., power cup failure, crane malfunction).	Medium	Dropped glass, equipment damage, potential injuries.
Weather conditions (wind, rain) affecting lifting operations.	Medium	Loss of control of glass, slips, falls.
Ergonomic hazards from repetitive lifting and awkward postures.	Low	Musculoskeletal disorders.

Control Measures

• Ensure proper fit and inspection of equipment before use.: Use fall protection equipment (harness, lanyard, anchor points) at all times when working at heights.
• Use barricades and signage to clearly mark the area.: Establish a controlled access zone below the lifting area to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
• Remove any damaged equipment from service.: Conduct a thorough inspection of all rigging equipment, including slings and power cups, before each lift.
• Provide cut-resistant gloves specifically for glass handling.: Use proper hand protection (gloves) when handling glass.
• Ensure all personnel are aware of their roles and responsibilities.: Implement a lift plan that includes a pre-lift meeting to discuss the procedure, potential hazards, and control measures.
• Establish clear weather limits for lifting.: Monitor weather conditions and postpone lifting operations if wind or rain could compromise safety.
• Rotate tasks to reduce repetitive motions.: Use mechanical aids (e.g., dollies, carts) to minimize manual lifting.
• The safety monitor shall be identified by wearing an orange hard hat.: Implement a safety monitoring system where a competent person is responsible for recognizing and warning employees of fall hazards. [2]
