Objective

The objectives of the standard are to ensure an understanding and carry out the required planning and risk assessment for the conduct of basic lifting operations in the wind Industry including: Basic lifting operations are routine lifting operations where the load characteristics are considered straightforward and any significant hazards within the working area or on the load path have been identified and are not considered to be complex or non-routine. The training programme includes methods and techniques which will instruct the learner in the process and procedures which are essential in achieving practical and theoretical knowledge for planning and management of lifting operations in the wind industry.

Target Group

This Product is intended for learners who are required to participate and/or assist in the planning of basic lifting operations, including but limited to, construction, operations, maintenance and decommissioning, using fixed or low-capacity equipment, and who have awareness of basic lifting operations in the role of a lifting operative.

Prerequisites

A valid lifting operations training or competence qualification/certification, issued by an industry recognised awarding body.

Examination

Following successful completion of both knowledge and practical assessments delegates will be awarded an OPITO approved certificate which is valid for two years
