Introduction

To increase awareness in Lifting Operation, Lifting Gears General, Lifting Machine Manual, Lifting Machine Power to effectively fulfil the duties & responsibilities in connection with Operation, Inspection, and Maintenance. This course is suitable for supervisors, technicians, and managers responsible for lifting.

Lifting operations are inherent to many occupations in the construction industry. They can be performed manually or using lifting equipment. Both manual lifting and mechanical lifting operations can put construction workers at great risk of injury or health symptoms causing sick leave or disability. The costs of accidents and ill health related to lifting operations are immense. Therefore, by providing appropriate training to lifting personnel, organizations can ensure significant reduction in the cost associated with safety hazards, incompetence, and delays.
