TARGET GROUP

Employees who, on a company site in installations, workshops or warehouses, have to sling and move critical loads when carrying out lifting operations and/or have to coordinate these operations.

The following are considered critical loads:

• Loads whose centre of gravity is unknown, which are bulky in shape or dimensions and which have no fixed defined attachment points
• Loads which must be positioned very precisely and therefore must be slung exactly correctly
• Loads which are transferred or where there is an interaction between crane and building or between crane and crane
• Loads which must be hoisted with several non-stationary lifting appliances.

For employees working in the (petro)chemical industry, this exam must be taken in an accredited centre.

OBJECTIVE

Learn how to, in an efficient and safe manner:

• Sling and move loads
• Direct loads by communicating with the operator of a lifting appliance

NO WORDS, BUT DEEDS!

• A full day of training lasts 7 hours by default, unless stated otherwise
• One or more days of tailored practical training
• A lot of experience (1 day) / little experience (2 days) / no experience (3 to 5 days)
