Managers and supervisors that oversee lifting operations with limited knowledge of the material handling industry unknowingly create opportunities for exposure. They may rely solely on the word of the operator regarding a lift, choose the least expensive option for rigging gear or an inspection, or lack understanding to make an informed decision and they end up with an accident on their hands.
While management doesn’t have to know everything; abdicating responsibility to the operator in the hope that they will watch out for the company’s best interest may not be the wisest choice either.
When you schedule this course at your facility, we can build a customized program based on your lifting operations so that your managers and supervisors gain a better understanding to cost-effectively manage risk and create a safer workplace as it relates to material handling.
