[GARY]

There are no books specific to becoming a competent person, you just do the course (provided you meet the entry requirements).

 

If you are ready you will know you are ready

Hi Gary

 

Im one of the trainers for the NPTC certificate, and would reccoemnd you have a lok at the following

http://www.nptc.org.uk/assets/documents/7b83377c1ec6469198a9fac7198ef276.pdf

thats the learner sheduel, look through and make sure you meet all the pre requisites.

If you do there is a book as part of the cource but there is a wide range of differant sources for info.

 

you will learn some basic rules and regs, you should also recive a copy of the LOLER ACOP which you can down load at the HSE web site

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) - Work equipment and machinery

 

other great sources of info are some of the manufactures web sites, I particully like the DMM web site and the Yale, and Samson sites

 

follow their links for tchnical info and look at the goodies

Technical Bulletins

Climber's Line | Custom Climbing Rope | Yale Cordage | Yale Cordage

 

If you visit the Stign web site thay have a range of infomation on their gear.

The thing about LOLER is its knowing the gear, knowing the Specs, Knowing How it will be used and understanding that its about passing a defined standard, not your standard.

 

hope all that helps
