Workplace Safety and Health Guidelines on Lifting Plan Development

The use of lifting equipment, such as cranes, is common in construction sites, shipyards, and factories. Ensuring safe lifting operations is critical to preventing accidents, injuries, and fatalities. This training course provides an in-depth understanding of safe lifting practices and methods, highlighting the importance of planning and preparation in executing lifting operations.

Participants will learn how to develop and implement a lifting plan, as required by the Workplace Safety and Health (Operations of Cranes) Regulations. These regulations mandate that every lifting operation involving cranes must have a well-established lifting plan, adhering to the principles of safe and sound practice. The course will also guide participants through the Code of Practice (CP) on Safe Lifting Operations, which serves as the key reference for safe use of lifting equipment.

The objective of this course is to equip learners with the knowledge and practical skills needed to create a comprehensive lifting plan. This includes understanding essential components, such as risk assessments, equipment selection, personnel roles, and environmental factors. By the end of the course, participants will be able to identify and address the critical aspects of lifting operations to ensure safety at all times.

Ideal for professionals in construction, shipyards, and factories, this course emphasizes the importance of following industry standards and regulations to mitigate risks and enhance workplace safety.
