This comprehensive rigging safety training covers the proper selection, inspection, use, and maintenance of chains, cranes, hoists, and slings used in lifting and material handling operations. Rigging personnel, crane operators, and warehouse workers will learn how to safely handle heavy loads and prevent equipment failures that can lead to serious injuries. The program teaches participants to identify different types of rigging equipment including wire rope slings, chain slings, synthetic web slings, shackles, and hooks. Workers will learn to calculate load weights, determine working load limits (WLL), understand load angles and their effects on capacity, and select the appropriate rigging configuration for each lifting task. Topics include pre-use inspection procedures to identify damaged or worn equipment, proper attachment and balancing techniques, hand signals and communication during crane operations, avoiding common rigging hazards such as pinch points and struck-by incidents, safe storage and maintenance practices, and compliance with OSHA and ASME rigging standards. This training ensures rigging operations are conducted safely and efficiently while protecting workers from crushing injuries, falls, and equipment failures.
