Practical Lifting and Slinging Beneath the Hook

Who Attends

The Practical Slinging Beneath the Hook course is aimed at candidates who carry out simple lifts using manual appliances. Engineering companies or manufacturing companies with production lines commonly book this course. During the training course delegates will be expected to carry out lifting operations. This will provide an insight into the delegates’ ability to operate in such conditions. This is only an indication of their capability, as it is not possible to recreate exact working conditions.
