Dropped loads and overturned cranes cause some of the most serious incidents on construction, mining and heavy industrial sites, yet most are the result of a poorly planned lift rather than equipment failure. This course covers safe lifting principles, sling and shackle selection, load calculation and the appointment of competent riggers and lift supervisors. Delegates learn to develop a lift plan for both routine and complex lifts using site conditions typical of South African projects.
