TCVT Rigger/Slinger-Signaller (Construction) W4-09

TCVT Rigger/Slinger-Signaller (Construction) W4-09

The construction hooker assists with lifting operations by attaching and detaching loads, guiding loads, and providing signals and instructions to the crane operator on the construction site. Therefore, the content of this certification scheme is less extensive than the TCVT Hoist Supervisor certification scheme (W4-08), making it more suitable for the qualification of the construction hooker. 

This training course is intended for anyone who assists and supervises lifting operations on a construction site. For standard lifting operations on construction sites, with fixed methods for attaching and guiding the load, a one-day basic training course is available.Safe attachment of loadsIf the lifting operations you will be supervising are complex, then an advanced 5-day training course is recommended.Lifting Supervisor W4-08" appropriate.
