Slinger Signaller (A40)

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
