markings\, certificates and thorough examination reports\nCalculate sling capacities\, lengths and angles\nExplain slinging techniques for given loads including balanced\, unbalanced and loose\nSpecify appropriate lifting accessories for given types of loads\nIdentify weights and centres of gravity for different types of loads\n\nCommunication\n\nDescribe and specify different types of communication methods for lifting purposes\nExplain factors that determine types of communication methods\, the limitations of each and the effects of poor communication\nState the need to complete a reflective report following a typical lifting operation\n\nPlanning\n\nIdentify potential proximity and underground hazards from given plans and drawings\nIdentify and plan an area\, with exclusion zones for different\, given lifting operations incorporating safe access/egress routes for before\, during and after the lift\nState requirements that allow safe site access and egress for typical lifting equipment\nSpecify the security requirements for specific lifting operations\nConstruct a safe system of work by producing risk assessments\, method statements and lift plans\, including drawings\, using given information\nExplain additional requirements for pick and carry duties\nCommunicate lift plan information to others involved in a lifting operation i.e. lifting supervisor\, machine operator\, slinger etc.\nSpecify positioning of lifting equipment\, loads in relation to fixed objects and other limiting factors\nExplain the definition\, requirements and factors for temporary works management and the effects on typical lifting operations\nIdentify how the effects of fatigue on the lifting team can affect a lifting operation and how it should be managed\nEvaluate and explain how the weather\, other environmental factors\, and the surrounding area external to the lift zone – can affect the planned lifting operation\nExplain how wind loadings and sail-affect areas are calculated\nDescribe notification\, liaising and reporting procedures to statutory\, authority\, and utility bodies when affected by the lifting operation\, i.e. works\, railways\, highways\, airfields\, etc.\nExplain the requirements to be followed when lifting loads from height\n\n\nFor your reference you can download the relevant questions for the theory test. \nACOP Group is
