To ensure lifting operations are both safe and legally compliant, they must be carefully assessed, planned, organised and executed. Every step of a lift requires a person, or people, who have a great knowledge in both theoretical and practical steps involved. Adequate levels of training must be provided.
This course highlights the safe working principles and controls required to reduce the chances of accidents occurring as a result of lifting operations. It supports meeting legal obligations under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
