CPCS Appointed Person — Lifting Operations in Newark, Nottinghamshire

Dynamic Training & Assessments delivers the CPCS A61 Appointed Person for Lifting Operations from Newark Beacon. This is the most senior of the lifting roles and among the most demanding CPCS categories — the person who plans the lift, selects the equipment and takes responsibility for the whole operation being safe.

CPCS A61 Appointed Person
The CPCS A61 Appointed Person – Lifting Operations at Newark. The Appointed Person plans lifting operations, produces the lift plan, selects appropriate cranes and lifting accessories, assesses the ground and the site, and appoints the supervisor and slinger signallers beneath them. See all CPCS courses.
Where the role sits
Lifting operations under LOLER require a competent person to plan them. On site that is generally the Appointed Person. Beneath them, the Crane Supervisor controls the lift as it happens and the Slinger Signaller attaches and directs the load. All three roles need covering, but only the Appointed Person carries responsibility for the plan itself.
Is this the right course for me?
The Appointed Person course assumes real experience of lifting operations — it is not an entry qualification. If you are new to lifting, Slinger Signaller comes first, then Crane Supervisor. Appointed Person suits people already supervising lifts who are moving into planning them, or contracts managers who need to hold the role formally.
Why does the lift plan matter?
Most serious lifting incidents trace back to planning rather than operation — the wrong crane for the radius, ground that could not take the outrigger loading, a load whose weight or centre of gravity was assumed rather than established. The Appointed Person's job is to settle those questions before anything is lifted, which is why the role carries the responsibility it does.
