ALLMI Slinger / Signaller

Many employers are under the impression that a lorry loader operator course also provides candidates with the knowledge and skill required for slinging and signalling, but this is not the case as additional training and assessment needs to be undertaken in order to be proficient in this area.

The use of inadequately trained slingers / signallers is a major cause of accidents. Even if such accidents do not cause a fatality or an injury, they will almost certainly lead to costly legal action or damaged equipment.

Therefore, quality slinger / signaller training is a must. A properly trained slinger / signaller is also a more profitable one, providing higher levels of efficiency and less down time, as well as a safer working environment. Our ALLMI accredited instructors can supply the rigorous and all-inclusive training necessary to achieve these benefits. We can provide an ALLMI Slinger / Signaller two day novice course, or a one day experienced course.
