ALLMI Hosts HOSASS Webinar

On 13th December, ALLMI hosted a webinar on the Industry Lifting Lead AP Group’s ‘Hands Off, Step Away, Safe Space’ (HOSASS) campaign. 

The campaign aims to improve practices and behaviours in relation to personnel / load interfaces during lifting operations and the Group has produced a range of supporting material, including a guidance document, poster and video, all of which can be accessed here.

Whilst the webinar was hosted by ALLMI, the core presentation was delivered by Costain Group’s Chief Engineer and ‘Designated Individual for Lifting’, Tom Pawson. Tom is also a Co-Chair of the Lead AP Group and played a primary role in the development of the HOSASS campaign. 

ALLMI’s Technical Manager, Keith Silvester, is also a Co-Chair of the Lead AP Group.  He comments “It was a pleasure welcoming Tom, who explained the origins of the HOSASS campaign, the resources that are freely available, and what the lorry loader industry can expect in terms of site requirements.”

A recording of the webinar is available upon request from ALLMI.

The Industry Lifting Lead AP Group was formed in 2015 to encourage collaboration and co-ordination between working groups, associations, governing bodies, contractors, owners and suppliers. Its aim is to support lifting industry improvements through the development and promotion of guidance and training, ultimately making lifting operations safer and more efficient.
