The CPCS A61 Appointed Person (Lifting Operations) is a specialized certification for individuals responsible for the planning, management, and safety of lifting operations on construction sites. It ensures compliance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) and BS 7121 standards.

The CPCS A62 Lift Supervisor course trains individuals to oversee lifting operations safely, covering legislation (LOLER, PUWER), risk assessments, method statements (RAMS), crane types, documentation, and site preparation, enabling them to supervise complex lifts for a Red CPCS card, leading to a Blue card after an NVQ. It's an intense 3-day training plus a 1-day test for those with little experience, requiring prior passage of the Health, Safety & Environment (HS&E) Test for Supervisors.
