INTRODUCTION FOR LIFTING SUPERVISOR TRAINING
The Lifting Supervisor training will equip the Lifting Supervisor with competences that will permit
him to adequately implement the lift plan and ensure that lifting is carried out exactly as stated in
the method statement. Upon completing the training participants will be competently trained as
a lifting supervisor with adequate safety knowledge and skills to supervise all lifting operations in
accordance with the lifting plan.
COURSE OBJECTIVES FOR LIFTING SUPERVISOR TRAINING
