Construction projects inherently require objects to be moved, hoisted and relocated. These tasks are often performed using a “rig.” Failures of the rigging arrangements are common when riggers don’t understand capacity aspects of the equipment they are using and/or make a “bad” rig.
The purpose of this program is to give participants the information they need to make a good rig. Rigging is so important in the construction field, but is often overlooked. Sometimes hook-ups can work, without the user really understanding what they are doing – but this does not mean the operation is safe.
Consider failed rigging outcomes: A broken sling? A broken product? A broken skull?
This topic is just too important to do it wrong!
Test your rigging knowledge. If your crew is rigging loads and can’t answer these questions completely, they need to attend this program! Gain answers to these questions:
Each participate will receive sample load charts and materials that they can use in the field every day.
Anyone and everyone who connects a load to a crane, hoist, backhoe, pulley system should attend this program. If you are a supervisor or project manager who has been charged with safety oversight for your project (as you should be), this course is for you.
This course is ideal for individuals working as project managers, supervisors, safety coordinators, management officials and safety committee members.
Basic math and calculator skills are required. Awareness of rigging and hoisting practices is helpful.
