SCX Academy makes sense of lifting legislation 24 September 2013

The SCX Academy has launched a new course to help people in charge of companies' lifting equipment make sense of the laws surrounding their safe usage – ultimately keeping themselves legal and their workforce safe.

Duncan Randall, founder of the SCX Academy, argues that, far too often, even experienced managers and supervisors don't understand exactly what is required.

With two sets of regulations relating to lifting equipment (LOLER and PUWER), plus HSE guidance and British Standards to meet, ensuring that cranes and lifting operations are legal can be confusing, he asserts.

"The course will explain what all the different regulations mean for a company, in a way that can be clearly understood and applied to day to day operations," states Randall.

"It will incorporate everything managers need to know, without bombarding them with irrelevant information that they don't, in order to be legal, safe and effective," he continues.

"And, if you know how to keep your cranes not only safe, but in top condition, then they will work more efficiently, with a longer lifespan, minimising the risk of expensive downtime and making your business more productive."
