Course Summary
Effective transportation is incredibly important for a vast number of organisations who rely on onshore trade and services. When transporting cargo, it often comes with the requirements of heavy lifting. Heavy lifting can be a complicated process that comes with a multitude of risks, so it is crucial for those involved to have a comprehensive understanding of all processes and health and safety standards.
To ensure a smooth journey throughout transit, those involved need to have considerable knowledge in the processes, functions, and features of various types of cranes and trailers. With the variation of types and weights of cargos, different equipment will need to be used. For extra heavy cargo, there is a requirement of additional rigging and safety attachments to minimise the risk of damage to the cargo.
Alongside knowledge of the equipment itself, one would also need to be educated on the health and safety regulations and standards the project would need to adhere to. Establishing risk management through hazard identification and risk assessments is crucial, as this will allow for the opportunity to implement preventative measures to reduce the possibility of harm to human life and damage to cargo.
- To understand the importance of transportation and heavy lifting in onshore projects.
- To identify various types of heavy lifting and transportation equipment.
- To explain factors that may influence heavy lifting processes and safety.
- To conduct thorough inspection of heavy lifting equipment to ensure maximum safety and function.
- To examine risks, hazards and implement preventative measures and solutions.
- To create plans detailing each stage of the onshore process for the project.
- To analyse the relevant health and safety regulations and ensure the project is fully in line with them.
- To advise on the use of various accessories and attachments for heavy lifting and transportation machinery.
This course is designed for anyone with the responsibility of managing or involved in the process of transportation and heavy lifting within onshore projects. It would be most beneficial for:
- Operations Managers
- Project Managers
- Project Engineers
- Transportation and Lifting Supervisors
- Health and Safety Officers
- Cargo Specialists
- Crane and Equipment Inspectors
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review plans and documents of real-world onshore projects to highlight key equipment used, safety features and potential risks.
Participants will be able to partake in a range of learning activities, including presentations, video materials, discussions, and practical activities. They will also be provided case studies throughout the course to further develop their knowledge and allow them to test their new skills. Participants will be provided with all the necessary tools required to effectively complete these tasks.
