What happens on the day of the training?

We require the use of a room to run through safety videos. These demonstrate crane safe use, and good slinging practices. The trainer will then carry out a written theory test, while delegates show what they have learnt. After lunch the candidates take a practical crane use and slinging test, rather than classroom work. This takes place on your factory floor with your own overhead crane. Training will be completed within a day, depending on numbers, moreover 4-6 people is optimum.
