Overview

The course is designed to provide delegates with a knowledge and understanding of items of slinging equipment and their correct use, as well as the ability to plan routine slinging tasks for safe operation.

Course content follows closely the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Lifting Equipment as well as the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) and the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER).
