Slinging and Signalling Courses
Course Introduction
Which course is right for me?
- A slinger and signallers’ primary function is to attach and guide the movement of items using a wide range of cranes and equipment utilised by their site.
- These training courses are primarily concerned with slinger and signaller operations in a controlled training environment, and we will use a variety of lifting equipment to demonstrate the principles of this function.
- By the end of their course, candidates will be able to attach a load to a crane or forklift, taking into account its dimensions, material, mass and centre of gravity, and communicate with the crane or forklift operator to safely lift and move the load from one position to another position and set it down.
- Candidates will be able to demonstrate an awareness of other site operations, pedestrians, hazards in the environment and weather conditions, taking appropriate action to minimise risk and increase efficiency.
- Additionally, candidates will be able to discuss the role of lifting plans in crane or forklift operations, and they will be able to discuss and perform pre-use inspection of slinging equipment required for operations.
- All our RTITB Accredited courses conform to the HSE guidance, and all certification is valid for three years.
- Novice course – this course is for those with workplace experience and good awareness of industry operations and have reasonable levels of literacy and numeracy. Previous experience of slinging and signalling work is not necessary.
- Experienced course – this course is for those with workplace experience and good awareness of industry operations, and previous operational experience working in this capacity. They will have reasonable levels of literacy and numeracy.
- Refresher course – this course is for those with documentary evidence of adequate prior training for this course.
- Please note – all candidates, regardless of the course level will need to be medically fit, with particular attention paid to sight and hearing, dizziness when working at height, drug and alcohol usage.
- They must be a minimum of 18 years of age and must be able to work well in stressful situations and have a high level of responsibility and maturity.
