OFFSHORE TRAINING COURSES - LIFTING EQUIPMENT AND LIFTING ACCESSORIES INSPECTION

Brief Description

With the history of the failure of lifting equipment, whether it’s mobile cranes tipping over, or slings, shackles or eyebolts failing for various reasons, inevitably leading to “Human Error”. Your company’s first line of defence should be “Pre-Use Inspection”. Many companies now employ a second line of “in-house defence”, in that they have carefully identified staff who conduct detailed inspection of their lifting equipment, backed up with an inspection report.

We will give a presentation to your selected staff covering the legal aspects of inspection followed by a practical inspection of equipment.
