About the course
What this course covers.
Knowing what to look for before a lift is often the difference between a good day's work and an incident report - this course is built entirely around the hardware side of that judgment call, not general rigging technique.
It works through the importance of proper, up-to-date rigging training, performing pre-work inspections, and the component breakdown hazards to look for and prevent.
It closes with using rigging correctly and handling loads safely, including how to find the specific lifting capabilities of the machine being used.
