CPCS A40a Slinger/Signaller - Novice

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

These will include:

• Establishing the weight and dimensions of loads and communicating information to the crane operator.
• Selecting appropriate lifting tackle and attaching and detaching correctly and safely.
• Using clear and unambiguous signals to direct the actions of a crane moving loads of various weights and dimensions.
• Determining the serviceability of lifting accessories and maintaining and storing them.

All delegates must have successfully passed a CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test, often referred to as the touch screen test, within the past two years.

Delegates must have a good understanding of spoken and written English.

Successful delegates will receive a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card (on successful completion of the CPCS Technical Tests).
