Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and demonstration where participants carryout lifting and rigging operations. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using a mobile crane and assorted rigging through hands-on practical sessions. The absence of good lifting practices contributes to a large percentage of material handling accidents. This course, through classroom problems and practical sessions, will enhance the competencies of engineers and other technical staff for reviewing and approving lifting plans for various lifting equipment. The course will instruct attendees in determining the correct size and type of lifting equipment required to safely perform lifting operations. This course is designed to ensure that all personnel involved in rigging and lifting operations have an understanding of the requirements pertaining to rigging operations, the development and approval of the lifting plans, the requirements for pre-use inspection and discard criteria of lifting equipment, the safe working procedures for rigging and to ensure delegates can use lifting equipment safely without exceeding the load limit imposed on them. The course will train attendees how to prepare, review and approve the lifting plans. It will guide participants on the use and inspection of lifting equipment, hazards and controls required for static and mobile lifting equipment, lifting procedures, colour coding and risk assessment. The course will discuss the various types of static and mobile lifting equipment including cranes, wire ropes, slings, hitches, shackles, hooks, eye bolts, turnbuckles, spreader beams, man-baskets, sheares, blocks, drums, chains, hoists, jacks and rollers. The course will end up by a competency exam (theory & practice) to certify successful participants as ?Certified Lifting & Rigging Officer/Inspector?
