Course Agenda

The OPITO Banksman & Slinging Operations training course is designed to equip participants with the necessary knowledge and skills to safely and efficiently carry out lifting and slinging operations in the oil and gas industry. The course covers both theoretical and practical aspects of the job, ensuring that participants are well-prepared for real-life scenarios.

The course begins with an introduction to the role of a banksman and slinger, including their responsibilities and the importance of following safety procedures. Participants will then learn about different types of lifting equipment, their functions, and how to inspect and maintain them. This is followed by a session on rigging and slinging techniques, including calculating loads and selecting appropriate slinging methods.

The practical portion of the course allows participants to apply their knowledge in a simulated environment. They will have the opportunity to practice rigging and slinging techniques using various equipment, as well as communicating effectively with crane operators and other team members. The course also covers emergency procedures and how to handle unexpected situations.

Upon completion of the course, participants will be required to take a written and practical assessment to demonstrate their understanding and competency. Successful candidates will receive an OPITO-approved certificate, which is recognized globally in the oil and gas industry. This course is essential for anyone working in lifting and slinging operations and is a valuable addition to their skillset.
