RIIHAN203E – Conduct Lifting Operations

Plan the lift. Control the load. Get the job done safely.

Lifting heavy equipment and materials takes more than strength—it takes planning, precision and the right skills.

The RIIHAN203E Conduct Lifting Operations course gives you the practical knowledge and hands-on capability to plan and carry out lifting activities safely across mining, construction, quarrying and other resources and infrastructure workplaces.

You will learn how to prepare lifting plans, select suitable equipment, connect loads correctly and control load movements using cranes, hoists and portable lifting devices.

What You’ll Learn

This practical, industry-focused course will teach you how to:

• Plan and prepare for lifting operations
• Interpret work instructions, procedures and lift requirements
• Identify hazards and apply effective risk controls
• Develop preliminary lifting plans
• Confirm load dimensions, weight and centre of gravity
• Read load charts, sling tags and equipment information
• Select and inspect lifting equipment, tools and materials
• Confirm safe working loads and equipment limitations
• Connect loads to lifting and load-movement equipment
