The foundation of all courses is (221) Safe Slinging & Lifting Appreciation. Trainees receive a solid understanding of safe lifting procedures from which, if required, they can then specialise by carrying on to complete further practical modules (223, 224 & 225).
All candidates will complete a multiple-choice test covering the key points of the course. A candidate achieving a total score of less than 80% will meet with the trainer to explore their knowledge of the topic. Where a candidate has a good knowledge of the topic the result may be amended.
Your course will normally consist of a half day theory based module followed by an appropriate half day practical enhancement module (e.g. Practical Slinging Beneath the Hook). A detailed module sheet with the syllabus for each course is available on request.
