In these five days, you will learn how to determine safe load limits, figure balance points of loads, apply the techniques of a skilled crane operator, inspect cranes for safety and work safely while working on rigging and forklift operation.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Apply a basic knowledge on industrial rigging and forklift safety
• Carryout rigging and forklift operations safely
• Understand the fundamentals of forklift safety including the hazards involved in forklift driving
• Enumerate the types of slings, hooks and wire ropes used in rigging operations
• Identify chain and its classification that includes the welded link chain, chain grades, chain strength, chain attachments, chain slings, inspecting chain slings and etc.
• Illustrate the general operating practices of using industrial hoist and cranes, inspection and standard hand signals for cranes as well as the proper use of spreader beams
• Determine wedges and inclined planes, load leveling and practice fork-lift operation
• Apply pre-use inspection, operation, stability, conditions and loads and recognize hazards in real life situations

This course is intended for engineers and maintenance supervisors who directs lifting operations. It is also suitable for industrial workers and technical staff involved in rigging operations.
