Training in safe slinging and lifting operations — lifting accessories, slinging technique and lift planning. ITSSAR-accredited or in-house certified, delivered in-company.
Slinging and lifting operations training is delivered in-company at three levels — choose by your team’s experience.
Slinging and lifting operations training gives staff the knowledge to plan and carry out lifting operations safely — selecting and inspecting lifting accessories, slinging loads correctly and working as part of a lifting team. It is delivered in-company under LOLER, with an ITSSAR-accredited or KeyOstas in-house certificate.
Lifting operations are high-risk: LOLER requires every lift to be properly planned, supervised and carried out by competent people. This course covers lifting accessories and their inspection, estimating load weight and centre of gravity, safe slinging technique, and the roles within a lifting team. KeyOstas delivers it in-company so the team trains together in their real environment.
KeyOstas trains slinging and lifting teams at every level.
