Course Summary
Effective transportation is incredibly important for many organisations that rely on onshore trade and services. When transporting cargo, heavy lifting is often required. Heavy lifting can be a complicated process 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 of the processes, functions, and features of various types of cranes and trailers. Because cargo types and weights vary, different equipment will need to be used. For extra heavy cargo, additional rigging and safety attachments are required 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 must 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.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of transportation and heavy lifting in onshore projects.
- Identify various types of heavy lifting and transportation equipment.
- Explain factors that may influence heavy lifting processes and safety.
- Conduct a thorough inspection of heavy lifting equipment to ensure maximum safety and function.
- Examine risks and hazards and implement preventative measures and solutions.
- Create plans detailing each stage of the onshore process for the project.
- Analyse the relevant health and safety regulations and ensure the project fully aligns with them.
- Advise on using various accessories and attachments for heavy lifting and transportation machinery.
This course is designed for anyone responsible for 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 for real-world onshore projects to highlight the key equipment used, safety features, and potential risks.
Participants will be able to participate in a range of learning activities, including presentations, video materials, discussions, and practical activities. Throughout the course, they will also be provided with case studies to develop their knowledge further and test their new skills. Participants will be provided with all the necessary tools to complete these tasks effectively.
