Micro-credential Description

This Slinging, lifting and pulling micro-credential provides an overview of the risks associated with slinging, lifting and pulling operations in the mining and resources sectors and how these risks are managed.

This includes ensuring that the persons who are undertaking these activities are currently competent to complete the work required safely.

A critical component of staying safe at work is speaking up and encouraging others to speak up if, at any time you or they feel unsure about how to undertake this work safely. This could be at any time, either when preparing to complete slinging, lifting and pulling operations or when working.

Supervisors of workers and workers who are required to undertake slinging, lifting and pulling operations may benefit from undertaking this micro-credential.

This micro-credential is designed to increase awareness of the risks associated with slinging, lifting and pulling operations; it does not replace a high risk working licence or a certified slinging, lifting and pulling training program.
