Table 4 – Duty Holder Roles and Responsibilities
Duty Holder Role / Responsibilities
Appointed A CPCS card holding Appointed Person named in the Project Management Plan for every
Person - project. The APP must review the Lift Plan and RAMS for all lifting operations on site and
Project (APP) when satisfied with the content, sign the RAMS Evaluation as the Mansell Specialist. It is not
envisaged that the APP will be site based but they must have visited site and be familiar with
the progress of construction. The APP can undertake the role of APL if required (e.g. for
Appointed
Person – Lift
(APL)
Lift
Supervisor
Slinger and
Signaler
Lift
Coordinator
Mansell directly controlled lifting operations).
A CPCS card holding Appointed Person must produce each Lift Plan (having previous
experience of similar lifts) and must brief all those involved into the Lift Plan. The APL need
not be resident on site but must have visited site and taken account of all constraints.
A CPCS card holding Lift Supervisor is responsible for directing and supervising the lifting
operation to ensure that these are carried out in accordance with the Lift Plan and RAMS. The
Lift Supervisor must continually monitor for changes in circumstance and if necessary call a
stop to the lift whilst waiting for further direction from the APL.
A CPCS card holding Slinger / Signaller except for Lorry Loaders where an ALLMI card is
acceptable. The role of Slinger and Signaller is usually combined. The Slinger is responsible
for the correct selection and use of lifting accessories, attaching and detaching the load. The
Signaller is responsible for directing the Operator to ensure safe movement. This requirement
covers all lifting operations and not just those involving cranes.
On sites where multiple crane lifting operations are planned to take place at the same time,
which may impact on each other’s Lifting Plans, a Lift Coordinator must be appointed to liaise
with individual APLs. This role is not a CPCS certified position but must be carried out by a
person with previous experience of the role in similar circumstances, with sufficient seniority
and control over the general site works. They must be fully conversant with the duties of all
persons involved in the lifting operation. Suitable personnel would include a Site Manager
with SMSTS, another Appointed Person or Lift Supervisor.
