NPORS N401 Appointed Person
NPORS N401 Appointed Person

Overview

This course is for people with limited or no experience of being an appointed person. It teaches delegates how to safely execute a lifting operation. It is designed to offer candidates the fundamental knowledge and practical skills to NPORS standards.
Course Content
At the end of the course, delegates will have an understanding of:
•Health and safety regulations
•Planning and risk assessment
•Lifting operations and legal requirements
•Selection of lifting equipment
•Calculating lifting capacities
•Lifting plans and method statements
•Coordination and communication during lifting operations
•Emergency procedures
•Post-operation reviews and documentation
Training delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical instruction. Delegates will cover manufacturer knowledge and awareness of lifting operations, and general knowledge of safety procedures, and best practices.

The NPORS theory and practical tests will be undertaken under test conditions.
Delegates who achieve the NPORS theory and practical tests will receive their NPORS Traditional or NPORS CSCS red trained operator card. Please see additional information below for the expiration of these cards.
There are two types of NPORS red trained operator cards: NPORS CSCS card and NPORS Traditional card.

For individuals operating in sectors beyond construction, where the mandatory requirement for an operator card bearing the CSCS logo does not apply, NPORS offers its traditional operator card. While the standards and methods to achieve this card are identical to those of the NPORS/CSCS operator card route, the traditional NPORS card does not feature the CSCS logo. When obtaining this card, you can choose between 3 or 5-year registrations based on sector-specific or in-company requirements.

Individuals operating within the construction sector should opt for the NPORS CSCS route. If the NPORS CSCS red trained operator card is achieved, you should begin working towards the relevant NVQ to enable you to upgrade to a NPORS blue competent operator card before your red card expires. For more information, please contact us.
