COURSE OVERVIEW

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”.
