The NOCN Assured – Non Crane Lifting Awareness (Managers and Supervisors) course is designed to equip managers and supervisors with the knowledge and skills necessary to oversee and manage non-crane lifting operations on construction sites. This course focuses on the safe planning, execution, and supervision of lifting activities using alternative lifting equipment, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and minimising risks associated with lifting operations.
The course begins with an introduction to non-crane lifting operations, providing an overview of the types of lifting equipment used in construction that do not involve cranes. Participants will gain an understanding of the importance of safe lifting practices and the potential hazards associated with non-crane lifting activities.
This module covers the specific roles and responsibilities of managers and supervisors in overseeing non-crane lifting operations. Participants will learn about their duties in ensuring that lifting operations are planned, coordinated, and executed safely, and that all personnel involved are adequately trained and informed about the tasks at hand.
Participants will be introduced to various types of non-crane lifting equipment, such as forklifts, telehandlers, hoists, and manual lifting devices. This section covers the selection and safe use of equipment, as well as the appropriate lifting techniques for different types of loads. Topics include load balancing, securing loads, and understanding equipment limitations.
Conducting thorough risk assessments is crucial for safe lifting operations. This module teaches participants how to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and implement control measures to mitigate those risks. Participants will learn how to develop and implement lifting plans that account for site conditions, load characteristics, and equipment capabilities.
Understanding relevant health and safety legislation is essential for managing non-crane lifting operations. This module provides an overview of the legal requirements and industry standards governing lifting activities. Participants will explore the key elements of the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
This module focuses on the practical aspects of safe lifting operations. Participants will learn about the correct procedures for lifting, moving, and placing loads, as well as the importance of communication and coordination among the lifting team. The course emphasises the need for continuous monitoring and the use of safe work practices to prevent accidents and injuries.
Effective supervision and monitoring are critical to the success of lifting operations. This module covers the techniques for supervising lifting activities, ensuring that all procedures are followed, and that safety protocols are adhered to. Participants will learn how to conduct on-the-spot risk assessments, monitor equipment performance, and address any issues that arise during lifting operations.
Participants will be trained on how to respond to emergencies related to lifting operations, such as equipment failure or load instability. This module covers the development of emergency response plans, the importance of quick decision-making, and the steps to take in the event of an incident to minimise harm and ensure a safe outcome.
Accurate documentation and reporting are essential for managing lifting operations. Participants will learn how to document lifting plans, risk assessments, and equipment inspections. This section also covers the importance of reporting any incidents or near-misses and how to use this information to improve future operations.
The course includes practical sessions where participants will apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. Participants will practice planning, supervising, and executing non-crane lifting operations under the guidance of experienced instructors. This hands-on approach ensures that participants gain confidence in their ability to manage lifting operations safely and effectively.
The course concludes with a review of the key concepts covered, ensuring that participants have a comprehensive understanding of non-crane lifting operations. This final module includes a recap of legal requirements, safe lifting practices, and supervisory responsibilities. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns, ensuring they leave the course with the confidence to apply their knowledge in real-world situations.
By the end of the NOCN Assured – Non Crane Lifting Awareness (Managers and Supervisors) course, participants will have gained the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively manage and supervise non-crane lifting operations, ensuring safety and compliance on construction sites.
