This 6-8 hour instructor-led course was developed to teach safe rigging practices associated with all crane types to make you a better safe operator and rigger.

Improper rigging practices have led to the deaths and injuries of many individuals. These are often due to riggers not knowing the correct method of securing certain loads, loading rigging components beyond their lifting capacities, and getting caught between unpredictable moving loads.
