Skip Loaders & Hookloaders: Lifting Safety

Skip loaders and hookloaders lift heavy containers in yards, on building sites and on public roads. This course explains how LOLER and PUWER apply, the safety-critical parts that need examining, why ‘jogging’ a load is so dangerous, and how to prevent runaways, blind-spot accidents and unsafe skip stacking.

This course gives general awareness of skip loader and hookloader safety. It does not replace operator training, the manufacturer’s instructions, thorough examination by a competent person or your employer’s safe system of work.
