This course is designed for delegates wishing to become competent in the Banksman & Slinger role in the oil and gas industry.

This course is aimed at personnel responsible for the issuing and control of lifting equipment from a Rigging Loft onboard an offshore installation, or a shore based workplace. It aims to provide training in the appropriate rigging loft management systems and the in-use inspection requirements of lifting equipment.

The LOLER Competent Person plans or approves all lifting operations in the workplace and ensures lifting operations comply with LOLER regulations and company procedures. The course provides an assessment of the LOLER Competent Person’s competence.

The aim and objectives are to provide the delegate with knowledge of the rigging principles, general hazards and risks of rigging and lifting operations, an awareness of relevant legislation and regulation, and an opportunity to practice basic rigging operations following a lifting plan. Delegate performance in practical exercises will be evaluated against learning outcomes where delegates will be required to demonstrate various rigging tasks.

This course is designed for all levels of personnel who are involved in lifting operations, the administration of lifting operations, and completion of lifting equipment records. Companies must be able to provide evidence that their contractors and staff have the training, competency and knowledge to work safely.

This course is designed to give Installation Supervisory level personnel in-depth coverage of LOLER 98 Regulations and requirements in order that they might set up controls and systems to implement LOLER requirements.

The target group for Competence Assessment is personnel that wish to become certified competent Banksmen & Slingers – having previously completed Banksman & Slinging training, and/or possess sufficient and relevant work experience to be eligible for the Competence assessment.

This is aimed at personnel who have had previous training and experience in rigging and lifting operations. Delegates will complete the following tasks: 1) Obtain and position the lifting equipment and lifting accessories as detailed in the lifting plan 2) Loft, cross-haul and lower loads 3) Move loads where there are obstruction restricting the direct path of the load e.g. over, under or around pipework.

The aim of this course is to provide Learners with the theoretical and practical skills to plan and organise basic routine lifting operations. The programme includes methods and techniques that will instruct in the process and procedures that are essential in planning and management of lifting operations in the wind industry.

The purpose of this course is to provide basic safe working knowledge in the use of an overhead gantry crane, along with simple slinging practices and a basic knowledge of lifting equipment.

This course will provide delegates with both theoretical and practical exposure to working with the main electro hydraulic components, with the emphasis on setting up and carrying out systems testing, along with demonstrating the relevant safe working practices.

This course will provide delegates with a good understanding of fittings and adaptor used in systems comprising Flexible Hose Assemblies. Correct identification and matching of these components is essential to ensure the safety of personnel and maintaining machine/equipment integrity. A hands on approach is taken to ensure that delegates completing the course are aware of the wide range of fittings and adaptors available and the correct methods used for identification.

This course aims to impart the necessary knowledge to allow personnel to be able to manually handle light loads safely and efficiently around the workplace, and enables them to assess possible problems, thus minimizing the risk of injury. Over a quarter of all accidents reported each year are associated with the manual handling of loads. Strains and sprains are most common but amputations, physical impairment and permanent disabilities are also frequent.

The aim of the OPITO LCP Assessment and LCP Re-assessment is to establish that learners have the required underpinning knowledge, understanding and practical skills to undertake the role as a LOLER Competent Person/ LOLER Focal Point at the workplace. To successfully complete these assessments learners must be able to read and write in English.

The aim of the OPITO Lift Planning Training is to provide learners with theoretical and practical skills to plan and organise the optimum resources needed to safely plan lifting operations under the supervision of LOLER Appointed Person/LOLER Focal Point, within their workplace. To successfully complete the training learners must be able to read and write in English.
