Course Summary
Effective transportation is incredibly important for a vast number of organisations who rely on overseas trade and services. With offshore projects, comes the requirements of heavy lifting. Heavy lifting can be a complicated process that comes with many risks, so it is crucial for those involved to have an in-depth understanding of the processes and health and safety regulations.
To ensure a smooth transition from onshore to offshore functions, there needs to be considerable knowledge relating to all the equipment involved. There are a variety of vessels and cranes that can be used for heavy lifting, and each come with their own regulations and safety equipment. Preparation and planning is crucial for this stage, as this is where all factors and influences will be documented and adjustments made to ensure the project can continue smoothly.
Conducting risk assessments is absolutely essential for heavy lifting to take place. Identifying all risks and hazards associated with this process will allow those involved to establish preventatives and potential solutions for these risks, protecting all workers involved. When implementing risk management, there needs to be a great understanding of the health and safety regulations the project needs to adhere by.
- To understand the importance of transportation and heavy lifting within offshore projects.
- To identify various types of equipment used for transportation and heavy lifting.
- To advise the use of various accessories and attachments used within these projects.
- To effectively create plans detailing processes and essential equipment required for a project.
- To conduct in depth inspections of desired equipment to ensure maximum safety and that they are fit for purpose.
- To carry out risk assessments and implement risk management.
- To analyse health and safety regulations for offshore transportation and heavy lifting.
This course is designed for anyone involved in the processes of transportation and offshore heavy lifting. It would be most beneficial for:
- Project Engineers and Technicians
- Project Managers
- Heavy Crane Inspectors
- Health and Safety Officers
- Operations Managers
- Offshore Installation Engineers
- Lifting and Rigging Specialists
- Transportation Safety Supervisors
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review various heavy lifting plans to highlight key information that must be included, and to identify any areas of potential risk.
They will be able to partake in a range of learning activities, such as presentations, video materials, group discussions and practical activities. These methods will ensure all participants have full opportunities to develop a comprehensive understanding of the taught content. They will be provided with all the necessary tools to effectively take part in the activities.
