LIFTING SUPERVISOR TRAINING

INTRODUCTION FOR LIFTING SUPERVISOR TRAINING

Lifting supervisors are expected to ensure that projects are done safely on the field. It may seem like an easy job, but even lifting supervisors need to pass a lifting supervisor course in order to be fully qualified for the job. 

A lifting supervisor is part of a lifting team which usually comprises a lifting supervisor, a crane operator, rigging, slinging ,signalman and a tagline holder. Each individual has an important role and because of this, they must all learn how to effectively communicate and coordinate when doing their job. One of the jobs of a lifting supervisor is interpreting a lifting plan. A lifting supervisor course aims to teach each trainee on what to know and what to do when making plans to move the heavy load in accordance to the lifting plan that has been approved. They will be taught techniques and will also be taught to look out for risks that may be involved. 

The lifting supervisor is expected to check the area where the load will be moved. It is up to them to check its safety before they start the job. Trainees will be taught in the lifting supervisor course is communication. They need to be able to communicate with the team on how they will conduct the lifting plan. It is up to the lifting supervisor to let everyone know just what to do and how to do it properly so that injuries and accidents may be prevented.
