Description and objective: As an ISO 9002 accredited training provider, we are pleased to be able to offer
BS7121 Safe Use of Cranes – Appointed Person Training
Introduction
In order to comply with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER), the British Standards Institution provides the code of practice BS7121.
This code of practice introduces the title of 'Appointed Person' - the competent person responsible for developing a safe system of work for every lifting operation.
Competence is defined as 'sufficient experience, technical knowledge and training'. This course provides the training element, which also includes some underpinning knowledge of legislation, risk assessments and method statements.
Important Information
This is NOT an attendance course. Delegates will be required to pass 3 written question papers and complete a final day practical exercise. For the benefit of delegates and employing organisations, we archive the test results for 2 years after the course end date.
Duration
Three Days (3) – A photographic ID card and a certificate of training will be given to successful delegates.
Who Should Attend
The role of the Appointed Person is critical to lifting operations and it carries a great deal of responsibility in law. This course is aimed at delegates who will be required to act as an Appointed Person and who do not have any formal training but do have some experience and technical knowledge of cranes and lifting. Only suitable personnel should be selected for this course.
Aims
To provide delegates with the underpinning knowledge and training with regard to legislation and the roles and responsibilities of all personnel involved in lifting operations.
