Agree the equipment before the date
Send the loader-crane make and model, controls, attachments and the loads normally handled. For slinger/signaller training, discuss the lifting equipment, accessories and practice loads available. Confirm what is needed before taking equipment out of normal operations.
Make space for the practical course
Identify an area that can be separated from deliveries, vehicle movements and pedestrians during training. Discuss access, ground conditions, overhead hazards and the space needed for the vehicle and crane. The training arrangement must fit your site’s risk controls.
Have documents and a site contact ready
- Relevant manufacturer information and equipment records
- The site’s lifting and traffic arrangements
- A person who can deal with access or equipment questions
- Any restrictions that affect work or emergency arrangements
Protect time for learning
Provide a quiet indoor space for theory and assessment. Ensure candidates can attend the complete course and that production demands do not repeatedly interrupt practice. Share shift patterns and preferred start times when arranging dates.
Send one clear briefing
Include the site postcode, course role, candidate numbers and experience, equipment details and preferred dates. We will review the requirements and confirm the practical arrangements before booking. This checklist supports course planning; it does not replace the site’s lifting plan or risk assessment.
