This 1-day rigging training gives students the knowledge on safe rigging practices, rigging terminology, good and bad rigging practices and more.
Alcoa Clark R.(What I liked most about the seminar was…) Calculations of Rigging, Great job,
very interesting
Gerdau Ameristeel Robert H.(What I liked about the seminar was….) Learning more about mechanics on
cranes, Magnetorque™ and wire rope inspections, etc. Instructor did a great job instructing the class. It would be wise to put every crane operator thru this course, because of safety reasons. The more crane operators receive more knowledge about cranes the better they would be.
Conoco Phillips Lori L.Instructor very friendly kept class fun & moving along. Also had stories & crane photos that helped us understand.
Montenay Power Walthon M.(What I liked most about the seminar was...) Information presented and
presentation method.
Los Alamos Patrick G.As an electrician, I appreciate covering the mechanical aspect of OH crane. It will help me in my job experiences. Thanks.
