This short course provides you with an introduction to the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, otherwise known as LOLER.
The course starts by explaining the purpose of LOLER, before setting out what is meant by a lifting operation. It then provides some examples of equipment covered by the legislation. Next, it explores why lifting equipment safety is so important, detailing the types of injuries that machinery can cause.
Moving on, the course covers the equipment maintenance requirements that must be complied with by law. It provides a detailed explanation as to what is meant by 'thorough examination' under LOLER, then looks at lifting equipment markings and the safe working load. It finishes by covering what the regulations require of your organisation when it comes to the protection of young persons.
This course is aimed at those in any industry that are responsible for and the use of Lifting Equipment. This could include site supervisors or managers.
Understanding the risks and how to protect yourself from Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment.
For those needing further safety training, courses such as PUWER, Working safely and PPE should be completed alongside this one. For Supervisors that want to continue to enhance their skills, courses such as Introduction to Risk Assessment or Leadership Skills would make great next steps.
Training is not always the answer. A course covers awareness. Where the law asks for a competent person, a written risk assessment or a system you can evidence, training on its own will not close the gap. Tell us what you are trying to satisfy and we will say plainly whether this course does it.
Questions
Buy it online and the learner gets their login straight away. If you are booking for more than one person, or for several different courses, send us the list and we will quote for the group rather than charging person by person.
It is self paced, so learners can stop and pick up where they left off. The time shown is video content and does not count thinking time on the questions.
Yes. A certificate is issued once the learner passes, and you can download records for everyone you have enrolled.
Yes, per learner and excluding VAT. Group rates are better than the published price, so ask before booking a team.
For awareness it often is. Where a duty needs a competent person, a risk assessment or a documented system, training alone will not close it. If you are not sure which side of that line you are on, ask us before buying.
Next step
Tell us what you are trying to cover and how many people need it. We will tell you which courses do the job, whether a bundle works out cheaper, and where a course on its own will not satisfy the duty you are actually under.
