EMERSON TRAINING SERVICES

The Appointed Person course is designed to give you the skills & knowledge to become competent in planning safe systems of work for carrying out lifting operations.

The Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 state that every lifting operation involving lifting equipment (cranes) must be "appropriately supervised". A trained & competent Crane Supervisor would be nominated by the Appointed Person. It is a legal requirement under The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 that every lifting operation is appropriately supervised The Crane Supervisor course is designed to tap-in to your existing knowledge of lifting operations and enhance it, to enable you to direct and supervise a safe lifting operation in accordance with the safe system of work. The course will also help you identify problems that may have the potential to lead to unsafe situations during a lifting operation

It is a legal requirement under The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998 that every lifting operation is carried out in a safe manner. This includes use of a responsible person to guide the crane using suitable means of communication, and to securely attach the load to the crane. We have now developed a 'Foundation Plus' course which is five days in duration. This will give candidates more practical training time to give greater preparation for the CPCS Practical Test, and to enhance post-course knowledge and skills. With effect from January 19th 2015 this category has been amended to add endorsements against a range of lifting equipment types to cover the increased use of slingers for a wider variety of lifting operations. The endorsements are: A – All Types – all duties B – All Types – static duties C – Knuckle boom static only D – Excavator only E – Lift truck only

A varied range of companies may own one, or several of these types of cranes. They may also be hired-in for a long or short-term period, often on a "self-operated" contract. Compact cranes should only be operated by personnel who are trained & competent to do so. By gaining this qualification, you may increase your employment prospects within such a company and introduce yourself to a new type of work altogether - lifting operations. There are two options of sub-category for the compact crane course: A66 A - Compact crane - Static on outriggers A66 D - Compact crane - Pick and carry 5 Day foundation course (including the CPCS technical test) Suitable for those with little, or no, lifting operations, crane or machine operating experience. 3 Day course (including the CPCS technical test) Suitable for those experienced in operating other types of cranes e.g. mobile cranes, cranes and lifting operations in general.
