The NOGEPA 1.9 Banksman training is required to extend the validity of the NOGEPA 1.9 (A/B) Banksman certificate. The most important parts of the theory and practice of the NOGEPA 1.9A Banksman basic training will be repeated.
The practice-oriented NOGEPA 1.9 Banksman training course has been specially developed for operational staff involved in lifting activities on board ships and/or on oil platforms and petrochemical installations. The objective of this training is that the participants, in cooperation with the crane operator, perform the lifting activities safely, responsibly and efficiently. As of December 2021, a (valid) NOGEPA Banksman 1.9 will no longer count as an exemption for SOG ABvL.

Take the step toward safe and certified working practices today.
