Rigging & Crane Operator Safety Train The Trainer | 4-Day Workshop
This 4-day workshop incorporates topics covered in our Level 1: Basic Rigging & Signalperson class, Rigging Gear Inspection training, Level 2 Advanced Rigging course and Overhead Crane Operator training. Also includes hands-on rigging and crane exercises.
Day 1: Overhead Crane Operator Safety Train the Trainer
The full-day session consists of hands-on crane exercises, operator responsibilities, pre-operational inspections and identifying unsafe conditions. All students will be evaluated with a skills assessment utilizing our overhead cranes.
Day 2: Qualified Rigger & Rigging Gear Inspection
Candidates will learn the requirements of OSHA regulations and ASME guidelines for the proper inspection and documentation of rigging gear inspection. OSHA requires inspections be done by a competent person selected by the employer. Candidates will learn how to properly select and use slings and rigging equipment. Course also covers hand signalperson requirements per OSHA 1926.1400, ASME B30.3 and ASME B30.5. Hands-on rigging training will be performed in conjunction with classroom training. This training will better enable employers to deem their associate competent. A CMCO basic rigging/inspection exam will be given to test candidates knowledge of topics covered. Each candidate will be tested on signaling.
