CPCS Slinger Signaller Course – A Brief Overview

CPCS Slinger Signaller Course overview

The CPCS Slinger Signaller course is an entry-level qualification that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for employees to safely perform their work as a Slinger Signaller. A Slinger’s role is a Safety Critical one that involves working alongside the lifting teams to provide safe direction and supervision to the crane operators. Their main responsibility is to ensure the safety of the operators, and any other workers or site visitors that could be at risk.
The CPCS A40 course will give you the necessary certification that you need to operate as a slinger signaller on any site that requires this qualification. Why is the Slinger Signaller course so popular??
CPCS Slinger Signaller is a highly demanded CPCS course. CPCS stands for Construction Plant Competence Scheme and is the awarding body of choice for most of the major contractors ; other options exist but are currently not as popular because they may not be accepted on all sites, whereas, the CPCS qualifications is accepted on all UK sites. This is mainly because the training and testing regimes of CPCS courses is rigorous and is underpinned by a robust quality assurance regime.
Various industry-leading experts have developed the CPCS Slinger Signaller course to keep up with advanced construction equipment, such as mobile cranes, excavators, etc.
CPCS courses are also constantly updated to keep up with CPC operator card changes that have recently become more sophisticated and individualized.

There are two types of street works:

  1. Those carried out under section 1(1), which requires an order from the Secretary of State to be given before they can commence;
  2. Section 1(2), where there is no need for any order to be given before work commences.
