What the N402 Slinger Signaller test covers
This page says slinger signaller. NPORS’s own name for the category is N402 Slinger / Signaller.
The NPORS learning outcomes published in June 2019 cover 12 of the 17 categories Ray tests, and N402 is not one of them. Nothing on this page describes the N402 assessment in detail.
In the categories those published outcomes do cover, the outline includes safety law and the operator’s duties, the manufacturer’s handbook, the main parts and controls, PPE, pre-use and running checks and defect reporting, checking the work area, carrying out the work and shutting down and securing the equipment. If you want the scheme explained first, start with NPORS testing.
Ray will confirm exactly what the N402 assessment covers, and what you need available on the day, when you call.
Experienced operator, or starting out
If you already do this work, an experienced worker test is usually the route. If you are new to it, a novice course comes first. Ray will confirm which fits when you call. NPORS issues the cards, including a traditional card and CSCS logo cards. The [certification](https://walterstraining.com/certification/) page explains the routes.
Experienced worker test
For operators already doing the job who need N402 added, a renewal or an expired card sorted.
Novice course
For people new to the role who need training before the test.
Categories often needed alongside N402
An employer booking a lifting team often needs more than one category, so it is worth checking what else is needed for the job when you call.
