Scope

GB 16994.5-2024 is the English-translated version of 港口作业安全要求 第5部分:件杂货物.

Part 5 of China's mandatory safety requirements for port operations, covering general cargo. General cargo is everything that is not in a container, a tank or a bulk hold - steel coils and plate, timber, bagged goods, machinery, project cargo and anything else that has to be slung individually - and it is the most dangerous cargo work there is, because every lift is different and the load is rigged by hand. The accidents come from the rigging: a sling that fails, a load that is not balanced and swings, a coil that rolls, a bundle that shifts as it leaves the hold. So the requirements cover the lifting gear and its inspection and marking, the slinging methods for the cargo types that keep causing injuries, the stowage and securing in the hold, the position of the people who must be near the load and the signals between them and the crane driver, and the access into and out of the hold.
