Training: Rigging critical loads- IS-006 - Experienced

Target audience

Employees who when carrying out hoisting work on company premises in installations, workplaces or laboratories must attach and move critical loads and/or coordinate this work.
The following are regarded as critical loads:

Loads of which the centre of gravity is not known, that are voluminous in shape or dimensions and that have no defined attachment points;
Loads that must be precisely positioned and attacked
Loads that are taken over or whereby there is interaction between crane and building or between crane and crane;
Loads to be hoisted with a multiple of non-stationary hoisting appliances
Employees working in the (petro)chemical industry must pass this examination at an recognize training centre.
Conditions of admission

Being at least 18 years old.
Being in possession of a certificate of medical fitness (a/o for safety function)

Program

The training takes half a day
The theoretic exam takes 20 minutes (max 30)
The practical exam takes about 30 minutes
