1 AIM OF THE ADVISORY
1.2 This document contains key information on the Lifting Supervisor Safety Course
(LSSC) including the course aim, learning objectives, target audience, assumed skills and
knowledge/entry requirements, course syllabus, recommended course duration,
recommended class size, and recommended trainer/trainee ratio. It also sets forth
guidelines for training delivery and assessment for the course.
1.3 This CDA will be reviewed on a regular basis and whenever it is deemed
necessary due to changes in training syllabus or industrial requirements.
2.1 The LSSC is a mandatory course for individuals who are assigned to supervise
lifting operation involving a mobile crane or tower crane or any other crane in the
workplace.
2.2 WSH (Operation of Cranes) Regulations 2011 stipulates that it shall be the duty of
the responsible person:
“To appoint a Lifting Supervisor before any lifting operation involving the use of any
crane is carried out in a workplace.”
“Not to appoint any person as a Lifting Supervisor for any lifting operation involving
the use of a mobile or tower crane unless the person is one who
(b) has, in the opinion of the responsible person, such relevant experience in lifting
operations for at least one year.”

5 TRAINING DELIVERY ADVICE
5.1.1 The ATP is required to prepare a trainer’s guide for the course. The guide
provides the trainer with information on the course including
Course aim
Learning objectives
Target audience
Assumed skills and knowledge
Course duration
Class size and trainer/trainee ratio
Lesson plan
Course contents and instructional materials
Training methodologies
Training resource requirements
Course administration instruction
5.1.2 The ATP can also facilitate the learning process by providing each trainee
with a trainee’s workbook or handouts. This set of notes should contain the course
aim, learning objectives and the key learning points (WSHA 2006, subsidiary
legislations, industrial code of practice, safety guidelines etc) as well as guides for
learning activities including safe use of a mobile crane, tower crane and gantry
crane.
5.1.3 The ATP is required to prepare and submit a course reference matrix (see
Annex C) for coverage of course contents with respect to the training slides and
the assessment modes.
5.1.4 It is the responsibility of the ATP to ensure that no part of the materials
used for the training infringe on patent, design, copyright and intellectual property
rights of any individual or organization.
5.1.5 The ATP shall retain an updated version of the training course syllabus,
lesson plan, trainer’s guide and trainee’s workbook or handout at all times for
inspection and verification by MOM.

learning, the following delivery methods can also be used to supplement classroom
lectures:
Case studies (with or without video)
Group discussion
Videos and other e-resources and instructional media
Problem-based learning and instruction
Report writing exercise
5.2.2 Skill
In terms of skills, it may be useful for the trainees to proceed on-site for
demonstration and practice. The demonstration and practice may include four key
skills:
Plan and supervise safe lifting operation involving mobile cranes, tower
cranes and other lifting machines
Conduct pre-operation check, job planning, crane set-up, crane safe
operation and crane shut-down
Check and supervise proper slinging and rigging practices
Conduct inspection of lifting gear and accessories to ensure safe usage
5.2.3 Attribute
Accidents can happen very fast at the worksite. A competent Lifting Supervisor in
the construction industry must have a very high sense of “situational awareness”.
At all times he must
5.3.1 The ATP shall ensure that the classroom used for this LSSC training has
adequate seating for the class of 30. Seating facilities inclusive of writing tables
must be reasonably and comfortably spaced so as to be conducive to the learning
process and for the purpose of conducting the assessment. Classrooms must be
equipped with projectors, whiteboards, flipcharts and models of different types of
cranes. The classroom must have adequate lighting and ventilation. Emergency
exit routes must be clearly marked out and briefed to the course trainees at the
start of the course.

5.4 Training resource allocation
6 ASSESSMENT ADVICE
6.1.1 The ATP is required to prepare and submit an assessment plan (see Annex
D for proposed sample with table of contents) for the LSSC. The aim of the
assessment plan is to determine the competency of the trainee to undertake the role
of a Lifting Supervisor at the construction site upon successful completion of the
LSSC.
6.1.2 The assessment plan must be directly related to all the learning objectives
determined in the course. It comprises four main parts:
6.1.3 The assessment plan is subject to review on an annual basis by the ATP to
ensure that trainees are constantly kept current and competent to perform up to the
industrial requirements.
Assessment will be fair, valid, reliable and flexible for all trainees without deliberate
barriers against the individual.
Fair – Are the assessments criteria clear? Do all the trainees know what to expect
from the assessment? Does the assessment disadvantage any trainee? Do the
trainees have any recourse to appeal?
Valid – Are the assessment methods and tools appropriate and effective in
assessing what they claim to assess. Are the evidence collected relevant to the
training and demonstrates that the learning outcome has been achieved?
Reliability – Are the results consistent from one assessment to another? Do people
have the confidence that the standards are applied consistently from learner to
learner and from context to context?
7 CDA_LSSC
Flexibility – Can the assessment be used for multiple assessments? Are the
assessment tools and methods uniform across different approaches and drawing
on a range of different methods? Can they be used appropriately to the context,
task and individual under assessment?
6.3.1 The ATP must conduct written test (compulsory) and use one or more skill-
based assessment method such as practical performance, role-play or case study.
There are four assessment instruments recommended to ATP:
Written test (WT) – This method of assessment is quick and the most convenient
to conduct. It can be used for a large class and a wide range of subjects
particularly knowledge-based. It can be conducted as a multiple choice
questionnaire (MCQ).
Case study (CS) – This method of assessment allows the ATP to use a wide range
of real on-site accident cases for training purposes. The materials are readily
available on MOM website.
6.3.2 The total allocated time for assessment of the LSSC is 3 hours comprising
2 hours for 80 MCQ written test and 1 hour for other modes of assessment.
10 MCQ (2 marks each) related to Lifting Plan and its requirements under
the topic Planning for Safe Lifting Operations.
8 CDA_LSSC
5 MCQ (3 marks each) on load chart interpretation related areas under the
topic Planning for Safe Lifting Operations
6.3.2.3 In the event trainee fail the assessments, ATP has the jurisdiction to allow
re-test only (without re-siting the course) on the failed assessment(s)
provided there is sufficient justification for this decision.
6.4.3 During the briefing, assessors must take the opportunity to confirm with
trainee on any special needs & explain how needs will be addressed during
assessment
9 CDA_LSSC
6.6 Recording and reporting of assessment outcome
6.6.3 The ATP shall maintain a record of the assessment results for 2 years for
inspection by MOM.
8.1 The ATP shall conduct an end-of-course evaluation at the end of each course.
Trainees shall be allowed to provide quantitative and qualitative feedback on the course
content, duration, training delivery, training materials, training venue, training resources,
quality of trainers and assessors.
8.2 The ATP shall monitor the end-of-course evaluation and feedback closely to ensure
that the ratings are consistently above 3. Immediate action should be taken whenever the
ratings fall below 3. These actions should be properly recorded and kept for audit
inspection.
