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.Loading availability...
