About Course

The appointed person in any lifting operation carries out approval of all risk assessments, lift categorization and method statements. The appointed person will often be the person who selects the correct crane/s and lifting accessories for the job too.

Description

Do you work on construction site?

In lifting operations, an appointed person is the person responsible for the execution and safety of a lifting operation. Although duties may be delegated to others, it is the appointed person who retains the responsibility of the operation.

An appointed person may also be a crane supervisor or crane operator in addition to being an appointed person. The role is a very responsible one as the appointed person must have good working knowledge of lifting operations and safe working.

Why?

Under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), an employer must ensure that each lifting operation is planned by a ‘competent person’. BS 7121 Code of Practice for Safe Use of Cranes, states that “the competent person for planning lifting operations is referred to as the appointed person”. This means that the competent person or appointed person are the same thing and may be used interchangeably – it just so happens that appointed person is the recognised title for this role and is widely used and recognised in the construction industry.

What Will I Learn?

This course helps you understand the responsibilities of an appointed person latest technical, legal and safety information necessary to operate successfully in today’s lifting equipment industry.
