Come invest a day and learn about all of this & more… with hands-on activities! \nIn this hands-on training\, your crew will learn: \n\nCauses that can be attributed to most rigging fails\nHow to select\, inspect\, & use common rigging gear\nWhat factors diminish the strength of rigging\nHow to create a basic rigging plan & incorporate proper rigging technique\nProper application of mobile & tower crane hand signals\n\nWho should attend? \n\nField/plant personnel who must rig as a part of job duties\nSteel/PEMB/precast erectors\nPersonnel setting rooftop units & MEP crews\nMillwrights\, excavators\nCrane operators\nSite superintendents\, foremen\, & lead persons\n\n\nInstructor: \n \nCraig Shaffer is a Certified Safety Professional who has spent the past +30 years in applied safety management\, training\, and OSHA compliance consulting\, with emphasis in the construction industry.  Half of his time is spent training and the other half functioning as a safety director for contractors in the region. \nCraig is an authorized construction OSHA-10 & -30 instructor and a certified Red Cross 1st aid/CPR/AED instructor.

SUMMARY:Construction Estimating Principles and Application
DESCRIPTION:Location: Live\, Online Virtual Course (The link will be provided after registration) \n\nDescription: \nThis half-day virtual training—crafted by the industry experts at UChapter2—is built for estimators who want to sharpen their approach and gain a competitive edge. The course encourages attendees to ask the critical question: “How can we approach this project differently than our competition?” \n**Viewpoint 1 – The Estimating Principles Behind Every Bid:** \nThis open-forum discussion\, led by a panel of experienced estimators\, explores advanced concepts and current industry models. Participants will examine their own processes through the lens of modern estimating principles. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nCost/Price analysis\nPricing project constraints\nHow to build flexibility into your system\nOptimum time to complete\nEscalation\nManaging risk within the estimate\nDanger zones to avoid\n\n**Viewpoint 2 – How Technology Can Produce Faster\, More Accurate Estimates:** \nIn today’s visual-first world\, simply showing your understanding of a project can help win the work.
