For first-class OPITO training in Lowestoft, talk to the experts who understand both your training gaps and the OPITO competence needs of your people.
Safety, competence and professionalism are essential in the energy industry, particularly when lifting and moving heavy loads. OPITO plays an important role in helping workers develop and maintain the skills needed to carry out such activities safely and effectively.
OPITO is a global skills organisation for the energy industry. Its training and competence standards provide the globally recognised framework for developing workers’ knowledge, practical abilities and safety awareness. For those working in lifting and rigging roles, OPITO training helps demonstrate that the required skills have been developed and assessed against an established industry standard.
OPITO initial training provides a foundation for those developing their rigging and lifting skills. It combines underpinning knowledge with practical training, covering areas such as safe lifting principles, the correct use and inspection of lifting equipment, hazard identification and risk control. Furthermore, candidates learn about relevant legislation and how lifting plans are used to organise operations safely.
OPITO competence assessments enable experienced personnel to demonstrate their ability to carry out lifting operations safely and effectively. These assessments test both theoretical knowledge and practical competence. Candidates are required to show that they can understand lifting plans, check equipment, communicate effectively with a lifting team and carry out lifting activities in accordance with safe working practices.
Maintaining competence is important, too. OPITO reassessment provides an opportunity for workers to demonstrate that their knowledge and practical skills remain current, helping them keep pace with prevailing safety requirements and industry expectations.
