Lifting, Rigging and Slinging Safety for Mine Workshops

Mine workshops and shafts handle heavy motors, pumps and structural loads where poor rigging leads to dropped loads and fatal crush injuries. This programme develops competence in lifting equipment selection, sling and shackle use, and safe lift planning for workshop and underground tasks. Delegates practise load calculations and inspection routines relevant to mining maintenance.
