Hi. You may want to consider the Banksman/Slinger course at Lerus Training https://www.lerus.com/offshore-courses/crane-operations/banksman-slinger.html . This course provides an interactive learning experience to help you understand personnel skill requirements and company policies for lifting/slinging operations. It is geared towards strappers, but will also be useful for supervisors and technicians who encounter lifting and handling problems in their daily activities. The course covers slinging procedures and precautions, working with a lifting plan, safety procedures, use of materials in steel cables, proper use and care of lifting equipment and accessories. The objectives of the course are to develop knowledge and competence in slinging principles, assess hazards and risks, and develop the necessary skills for slinging and lifting. Participants are required to have a COC, sea book and a current medical certificate. Course participants left positive feedback stating that the course provided them with a lot of new information and was an excellent learning experience.
