Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our LOLER Training Level 2 is as follows:
Begin by exploring the purpose of LOLER and the safety principles behind controlled lifting operations. Learners examine key terminology, workplace responsibilities, case examples, and how lifting safety can relate to other equipment and workplace safety requirements.
Choosing unsuitable equipment can create significant risks during a lift. This section covers equipment categories, safe working loads, compatibility, documentation, and factors to consider when assessing equipment for a particular task.
A safe lift depends on more than the equipment itself. Learners consider site hazards, load positioning, clearance, access and egress, temporary installations, weather conditions, traffic, and interaction with other people around lifting operations.
Regular inspection and appropriate maintenance help identify problems before equipment is used for lifting. Learners explore pre-use checks, defect reporting, inspection arrangements, safe storage, maintenance scheduling, and methods of keeping relevant records.
