Lifting, Rigging & Material Handling | Training Programme

The load goes where the sling lets it go.

The basic rigging and slinging programme covers accessories, attachment and the signalling that keeps a lift under control from hook-on to landing.

Overview

A dropped load rarely gives a warning. Most lifting incidents trace back to a load attached incorrectly or a signal misread, and both sit with the people who sling the load and direct the lift.

The programme builds the habits a routine lift depends on: knowing the weight and centre of gravity before choosing equipment, allowing for the way sling angle raises the tension in each leg, and keeping one signaller in communication with the operator.

What the programme covers

  • Slings, shackles and lifting accessories
  • Load weight, centre of gravity and balance
  • Sling angles and how they change loading
