Course aims

The course is designed to provide a practical and theoretical enhancement to the safe slinging and lifting appreciation course and other height safety courses.

As a focused complement to HSS working at height training, this course includes an outline of rigging and lifting, as well as guidance on types of equipment that can be utilised.

It also covers details relevant to the equipment standards to ensure compliance under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER). The criteria for issue, ID marking, inspection, record keeping, maintenance, storage and withdrawal from service are also explained.

All candidates will be subject to continuous assessment by the instructor and will undergo a final assessment exercise.
