Course Overview

A qualified rigger is needed during assembly/disassembly of cranes when employees are engaged in hooking, unhooking, or guiding the load, or in the initial connection of a load to a component or structure and are within the fall zone. A qualified rigger is defined as a qualified person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, successfully demonstrated the ability to solve/resolve problems relating to rigging.

This course has been organized and developed based on the internationally applicable standards for Lifting and Rigging (OSHA 1926.1404; 1926.1425). The Course represents the American Health and safety standards and provides Organisations with a global presence and an internationally recognized health and safety training program for their staff. The Course provides an excellent technical basic grounding in the main essentials of safe rigging operations for personnel.
