This course provides the delegate with a refresher to legislation knowledge & HSE, Operator & MATS guidance involving lifting activities specific to telecoms.
A refresher course exploring realistic, practical experiences to be achieved, whilst working to heights of 30m and loads of 65Kg. We reference the potential weight of a 5G non active antenna (circa 120Kg) showing the benefits of mechanical advantage. We discuss the merits of lifting with mechanical equipment over that of manually lifting with such weights.
All personnel involved with either managing or delivering rigging activities should attend.

This course is intended for the delegates to further their knowledge towards becoming compliant with the definition of competent persons under LOLER 1998. If in any doubt always seek guidance from manufacturer’s guidelines and instruction. Loads & heights of lesser or greater amounts than those taught on the course will, as best practise, need to be Risk Assessed before works & the competency of the team is considered.
