Having searched and read some of the other threads, I just want your advice and be absolutley sure of reporting back my findings.
After creating the lifting plan, an Appointed Person can delegate lifting operations (but not his responsibility) to a suitable supervisor. The appointed person ensuring the supervisor is competent
There is no legal requirement for that supervisor to attend a specific course on how to be a lift supervisor if they are well experienced in lifting operations and trained in slinger/signaller.
The appointed person does not always have to be on site.
Any confirmation on this would be great.
Thanks
Ken

Ken,
That is correct, according to my understanding of the BS.

Following on from this thread I have spoke to the person who wished me to take a look at this subject (who is asking on behalf of another colleague who does not work for us); is still not happy with my response.
He was stating competency as experience, knowledge and training - which we are all fully aware of.
But I am still of the opinion that a nominated supervisor who has years of experience in lifting operations and is a qualified slinger and signaller, need not go on a further lifting supervisor course which does not appear to be legally required for the role.
He is since writing to the HSE for their advice and I await to find out what they say.
In the meantime any further thoughts are welcome.
Ken

Ken you and the other posts are correct no need for a Lift Supervisor course.
Suggest the HSE if they respond will say do a course because then you would have a cerificate/card to show as proof of training.
