Discusses lift plan implementation, including reference information, calculations, single- and multiple-crane lifting, critical lifts, and engineering considerations The course teaches the proper use and pre-use inspection of rigging gear, slings and below-the-hook lifting devices to ensure those who have completed the training are competent. This program includes technical training, hands-on skills training, and the required examinations to meet OSHA standards. It is imperative that all individuals who prepare, use, and work with or around hoisting and rigging equipment are well trained in both safety and operating procedures.
Learn how to correctly select hardware and slings to build a bridle, how to build a 4-leg sling hitch that properly carries the load, and how to use rigging tools that allow for load turning and leveling. Persons attending this course will learn the formulas and calculation methods for job planning and load control, along with a strong understanding of crane dynamics and how they affect load stability. This course is intended for those who have already participated and understand the fundamental concepts of a Qualified Rigger course and the hands-on applications executed during rigging inspections and operations.
