Every business is under pressure to maximise efficiencies and cut costs but what could it cost you if something goes wrong?
WHY SHOULD YOU ENROLL
Australian Standards make frequent references to competence and competent persons. Any employees who use and inspect lifting equipment are required to be suitably trained and qualified to do so.
A RIGGERS TICKET OR DOGMAN QUALIFICATION IS NO LONGER ENOUGH to deem you competent under the standard.
Are you confident that you and your team can:
A COMPETENT PERSON MUST:
PERIODIC vs IN-SERVICE INSPECTIONS
In-Service/Pre-Use Inspections
An in-service inspection is a visual procedure that is carried out before each use of the equipment. The in-service (or pre-use) inspection is undertaken by the user and determines whether the equipment is free of any damage or wear that exceeds the allowable discard criteria and that a WLL (working load limit) tag is fitted. Australian Standards clearly set out the requirements for anyone using and inspecting lifting equipment, which includes in-service or pre-use inspections. The Safe Use of Lifting Equipment LEEA accredited online course was created to fill the gap and designed to provide help you meet your obligations under Australian Standards. During the development of the course, we consulted with LEEA and Work Cover to ensure the content was focused on reducing lifting related workplace accidents.
Periodic Inspections
Periodic inspections refer to a more careful and detailed inspection, where the equipment is cleaned, and inspected in an adequately lit location and undertaken by a fully qualified Lifting Inspector who has completed multiple LEEA courses, ongoing training courses, including height safety, and other accreditations. Professional Lifting Inspectors now also undertake a nationally recognised Certificate IV. These courses are not available to end-users, only LEEA member organisations. Periodic Inspections take place at intervals recommended by Australian Standards and Inspectors work with clients to determine whether these frequencies are suitable, or whether a more frequent inspection program
is needed.
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?
As an employer it is your responsibility to ensure you are providing a safe workplace.
Lifting equipment is used daily by employees in the mining, construction, civil, rail industries as well as many government sectors. Some workers who use lifting equipment regularly as part of their role are either a qualified Dogman or Rigger however most have no qualification or training whatsoever. Due to the increased focus on safety, compliance and continued professional development in Australia, there is an immediate need for a new end-user course for the Australian market. Anyone using lifting equipment as part of their role should be suitably trained to do so.

HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE
TAKE TO COMPLETE?
That depends on quite a few things including how quickly you learn, how well you do in the quizzes, and whether you already have some experience with lifting equipment. We would suggest that you allow around 8 hours to complete this course. That doesn’t mean it needs to be completed in one sitting, you can complete the course at your own pace, in your own time, and from wherever in the world you’d like to be.
Many companies have used this course to up-skill their teams during down-time and wet weather days. Delivered 100% online and completed at their own pace, this course can be delivered to your teams wherever they might be.
A LITTLE FEEDBACK…
I enjoyed the course and learning some of the technical elements that are not covered in the various high risk licenses.
The industry certainly needs more training and education in line with this.
I would recommend this course as there is a lot more detail than what’s covered in Dogging and Rigging courses.
The course was very helpful for me to get familiar with Australian Lifting standards.
The platform was user-friendly on both PC and mobile.
