Training: Rigging critical loads- IS-006 - Limited Experience

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 2 days
  • The theoretic exam takes 20 minutes (max 30)
  • The practical exam takes about 30 minutes

Results
