Rigging Training Course
Throughout the course, participants will gain in-depth knowledge of essential rigging procedures, and the critical elements required for safe lifting operations. This includes hands-on instruction on assessing load weight, center of gravity, and appropriate rigging techniques to minimize risks. The course also emphasizes the importance of pre-use rigging inspections, guiding participants on how to identify wear and defects in rigging equipment, as well as proper documentation procedures for inspection and maintenance logs, where applicable.
By the end of the course, attendees will have a strong understanding of industry best practices for safe rigging, equipping them to perform their tasks with confidence and to foster a safer work environment for all crane operations. This training is designed to enhance both technical skills and supervisory oversight, promoting accountability and safety in every lifting operation.
