Duration
5 Day Course
Overview
This training will provide candidates a clear understanding of regulations and standard on lifting operations, correct procedure in designing a lift plan, preparation of a lift such as selecting appropriate lifting gears, methods of calculating capacity on every lifting equipment involve in the operation and the roles and responsibilities. During the course, candidates will be given scenarios on which they will analyze each for the safe procedure that must be followed and select the appropriate lifting gears which will be needed to execute the safe lifting procedure as per result the lift planning. The course incorporates theory discussions and practical exercises.
Candidates will be assessed based on their gained knowledge through theoretical assessment and performance assessment on which they will complete series of task on lifting operation.
