Who will benefit
This training is intended for personnel who:

- Can perform routine and simple lifts with minimum supervision.
- Can assist with complicated and complex lifts with supervision.
Minimum supervision means the task is authorised by a competent person (e.g. via lift plan or instruction), but does not require their continuous physical presence during routine and simple lifts.

Successful delegates can continue their training with the new NSL competence-based training programme for rigging and lifting operations. The programme is specifically designed to suit the needs of the UK and international oil & gas industry. This is a joint NSL/EAL (EMTA Awards Ltd) initiative covering rigging and lifting levels one, two and three.
This course is physically demanding. Delegates are recommended to take towels and a change of clothes as shower facilities are available.
