The Norwegian authorities require that employees who use lifts (personnel lifts) must be able to document practical and theoretical training in their use. The employer is responsible for ensuring that employees receive the necessary training. (“Regulations regarding the execution of work” no. 1357, section 10-2 Requirements regarding documented safety training in the use of work equipment.) The course provides a basic theoretical and practical introduction to the safe use of lifts (personnel lifts). A certificate of competence is issued to participants in order to fulfil the legislation’s documentation requirements.

Who is the G5, module P-2.1 course suitable for?

Module P-2.1 G20 Fixed Hydraulic Crane Theory is specially designed for people who will be operating fixed cranes in the petroleum industry. The target group is divided into two groups based on the type of crane they will be operating:

• Those who will be operating offshore cranes (G5) or light offshore cranes (G5L) and need certified training.

• Those who will operate fixed cranes (G20) and need documented training.

Prerequisites, module P-2.1

• Module 1 – Basic HSE and module 2.3 G11 Lifting Equipment (Sling/and hook). The course precedes all our crane operator courses.

• Participants must be at least 18 years old. However, training can begin when a person has reached the age of 17.

Course information for module P-2.1

Duration: 16 hours (2 days).

Form: Theoretical instruction with final exam.
