Lifting operations are part of everyday life on building and construction sites. However, they present a wide variety of hazards. Poorly maintained equipment, unsecured loads, difficult working environments, and inadequate training all contribute to the chance of something going wrong during a lift.
According to the Labour Force Survey (LFS), approximately 20% of the workplace injuries that occur are due to handling, lifting or carrying.
All employees who operate lifting equipment need to be properly trained in the equipment’s operation, maintenance, and emergency measures to comply with LOLER regulations.
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 of both the theoretical and practical steps involved. Adequate levels of training must be provided.
This awareness level course is designed to provide workers at any level who conduct lifting operations with the knowledge they need to minimise risk to themselves and others.
Lifting operations involve the lifting or lowering of a load using equipment such as cranes, hoists, forklifts, or lifting accessories like slings and shackles. These operations are common in construction, warehousing, and manufacturing. Lifting operations carry risks if they’re not planned or carried out correctly, such as equipment failure, falling loads, or injuries from poor manual handling.
Lifting Operations Training is an awareness-level course designed to give workers practical knowledge of how to perform lifting tasks safely. It covers risk identification, equipment checks, communication, and safe lifting techniques. This training course supports meeting legal obligations under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).
