BEC is enhancing lifting operations expertise with Wee Soon Chia’s successful completion of the 5-Day Appointed Person – Lifting Operations Course.
This intensive course brought together project managers, site engineers, and WSH (Workplace Safety and Health) professionals to strengthen their expertise in lifting operations, regulatory compliance, and safe work procedures. Through hands-on training and detailed assessments, participants learned how to prepare and review rigging and lifting plans in line with Singapore’s Permit-to-Work (PTW) system.
“Coming from a background with little site lifting experience, this course was eye-opening. I now have a much clearer picture of how lifting operations are carried out and the importance of safety planning. I feel more prepared to support the team on site.”
– Wee Soon Chia, Contracts Manager, BEC
Key Takeaways from the Course:
- A deep understanding of lifting plan preparation and the role it plays in ensuring site safety and regulatory compliance.
- Clear insight into the appointed person’s responsibilities and the importance of coordination with riggers, crane operators, and site supervisors.
- Real-world case studies that demonstrated how planning and communication can prevent lifting-related incidents
As BEC gears up for more complex lifting operations, including on the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) Project in Singapore, investments in upskilling and training are more important than ever. This certification ensures that our team is qualified to approve lifting plans and contribute meaningfully to project safety and execution.
Why This Matters:
- Ensures compliance with WSH regulations in lifting operations
- Supports project readiness for high-risk, high-precision lifting activities
- Builds a strong foundation for operational excellence and safety leadership
