Further to industry consultation, as well as trials of the proposed new requirements, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has postponed implementation of the updated ‘CAP 1096 Guidance to Crane Users on Aviation Lighting and Notification’, which was scheduled for 31st May 2021.
Following a recent fatality involving overhead powerlines, as well as subsequent discussions with its Technical Standards Committee and the HSE, ALLMI is in the process of developing guidance covering tipper grab operations.
The importance and standing of the ALLMI scheme continue to be underlined, with the Association experiencing a 70% YTD increase in demand for training compared to 2020, and, in the case of many courses, training levels are even exceeding those experienced in 2019.
