About the Training
Understand the structure of a wire rope, read its specification correctly, measure the actual diameter and interpret safety factors and load charts. Apply inspection methods (visual and internal), recognise the types of deterioration and apply the discard criteria set out in the standards rigorously. Inspect socket terminations in theory, and in practice carry out the measurement, open the rope for internal inspection, analyse defects and complete the technical inspection record independently.
Duration
8 hours
Language
Portuguese and English
Modality
In person
What you will learn:
Standards, Structure and Technical Specification — Applicable standards (NBR 4309, ISO 4309, DNVGL-ST-0377), wire rope structure (strands, core, king wire), actual vs. nominal diameter measurement and safety factor
Inspection, Discard Criteria and Sockets — Inspection types per Annex E of ISO 4309:2017, discard criteria (broken wires, diameter reduction, corrosion), critical deformations and visual inspection of sockets per EN 13411/NBR 11900-5
Theoretical Assessment — Written assessment on regulatory content, discard criteria, sizing and operational procedures
Practical Workshop: Wire Rope Measurement and Inspection — Actual diameter measurement with calipers, internal inspection with hooks/spikes, damage identification in samples and completion of Inspection Record per ISO 4309:2017
Practical Assessment — Visual and practical checklist for identification and classification of anomalies/defects in physical samples inspected
Who it's for:
Train workers to plan, organise, carry out and safely intervene in activities at height, giving them the theoretical and practical knowledge to identify, assess and control occupational risks and impeding conditions, so as to protect the health and physical wellbeing of workers, and to master emergency response procedures.
