The Banksman Offshore (Nogepa 1.9A) is a three-day practical training that has been specially developed for operational personnel involved in lifting activities on board ships and / or on oil platforms. The purpose of this Banksman training is that the participants, in collaboration with the crane operator, carry out the lifting activities safely, responsibly and efficiently.
The Banksman training is NOGEPA certified. The certificate is valid for four years, before the expiry date the training must be repeated with a Banksman refresher (NOGEPA 1.9B). This certificate gives an exemption for the ‘SOG BVL and VVL-H’ certificates within the (petro) chemical industry in the Netherlands and can therefore be followed instead of these courses.
