Qualified person for the inspection of winches, pulling and lifting equipment

Whether for lifting, lowering, pulling, and pushing loads, for tensioning, or for lifting and lowering people: If winches, lifting devices, and/or pulling equipment are used in your company, they must be inspected by a qualified person at the determined intervals in accordance with the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung) and DGUV Regulation 54. You can either engage an external expert – or you can have the inspection carried out internally, thus saving time and money. In our training course, we provide you and your employees with expert training in accordance with the applicable legal requirements to become qualified persons for pulling devices, winches, and lifting equipment, optimally preparing you for your new tasks as inspectors.

Here, we teach you the fundamentals of the subject matter and introduce you to the regulations that must be observed, among other things, for the inspection of lifting equipment.
