Recently, PVD Training successfully conducted the Banksman & Slinger training course for personnel working onboard the Hakuryu-10 drilling rig. The program was organized to enhance competency in performing safe lifting operations within offshore environments where strict operational and risk control requirements apply.
In the oil & gas and heavy industrial sectors, lifting operations are always considered one of the highest-risk activities. Even a minor error in signaling, lifting equipment selection, or load control can lead to serious incidents affecting personnel, equipment, and operational progress.
For this reason, the role of the Banksman & Slinger goes beyond simply supporting lifting activities. It is a critical link in ensuring safe coordination between the crane operator, rigging crew, and the entire worksite.

Key Training Contents
The training course at PVD Training focuses on both theory and practical application, helping participants gain a comprehensive understanding of safe lifting operation principles.
Key topics include:
• Hazard identification in lifting operations
• Principles of lifting equipment selection and inspection
• Slinging techniques and load handling
• Standard hand signaling methods
• Communication between banksman and crane operator
• Control of restricted and hazardous areas
• Practical lifting scenarios in offshore environments
