What It Covers
- Supervising lifting operations in line with the agreed lift plan
- Communicating safely with slingers/signallers and crane operators during a lift
- Stopping or adjusting a lift where site conditions change
- Understanding the legal responsibilities of the Crane/Lift Supervisor role
Entry Requirements

How It Works
Assessed through a portfolio of evidence — supervised lifts, site records and professional discussion — reflecting the supervisory responsibility you already hold.
Leads To
CPCS/NPORS recognition for the Crane/Lift Supervisor role — not a CSCS card. CPCS/NPORS is a separate card scheme from CSCS.
