competent

job. Lifting operations range from:

planning by trained, competent people may be all that is needed to
manage risk; to
 Very complex operations, which require sophisticated and detailed
planning / records, with very high levels of expert input, monitoring
and supervision - undertaken by specially trained personnel
The complexity of the plan and the extent of the resources used to manage
risk must reflect the complexity and difficulty of the lifting operation.
