INTERLIFT is able to assist employers to meet the WSHA 2006 requirement to ensure the operators of Lifting Machine (LM) are "Trained & Competent".
Building operator competency is an important part of maintaining safe, compliant and productive lifting operations.
With proper training, equipment downtime can be minimized, costly repairs reduced and equipment lifespan prolonged. Ensuring the highest safety standards and compliance with industry regulations requires a structured and sustainable training programme in the material handling equipment sector.
The Workplace Safety & Health Act (WSHA 2006) came into effect on 1st March 2006. It is the duty of every employer to ensure that those persons at work have adequate instructions, information, training and supervision as is necessary for them to perform their work.
Singapore Standard SS497:2011 (Code of Practice for Design, Safe Use and Maintenance of Overhead Travelling Cranes) states that every crane operator, rigger and signalman should be trained in their respective roles to support safe lifting operations.
