RIGGING TRAINING AND SAFETY COURSES

These courses were developed to enable rigging and supervisory personnel to perform their rigging jobs with appropriate knowledge of the equipment available to them and with a safety-consciousness of their work. All commonly available types of rigging and hardware are covered in the courses. They all reference the applicable regulatory standards for the topics they cover. While some of the courses were originally designed to be instructor-taught sessions, they can be self-taught. Most of the courses are available on multiple media: video, CD and DVD and all attendees will receive certificates of attendance.


Introductory Prevention of
Rigger Mortis

This is an 80 minute video course that follows the Slingmax® Riggers Handbook and includes a half-hour test. The package includes an Instructor’s Manual and answer key for the course leader. It is designed to be completed in a two-hour safety meeting.
A Riggers Handbook is provided as reference material for each course participant. This is a starter course for riggers, safety personnel, engineers, and their supervisors.



Prevention of Rigger Mortis
This course consists of 16 modules that can be tailored to a company’s needs from four hours to two ful days of instruction. It is available on CD or DVD and covers such topics as: load control, sling loading, and rigging design. A workbook follows the course topics and is accompanied by the Slingmax® Riggers Handbook. A detailed Answer Key is provided
for the instructor.

 

SLING AND RIGGING HARDWARE INSPECTION COURSES

This is a starter course for quality assurance
inspectors, sales people, supervisors, and
riggers who want to know how to inspect
their equipment. The course is 50 minutes

Sling and Hardware Inspection

This advanced course is independent of the rigging training and safety courses because rigging
hardware inspectors do not have to be riggers. This course is available on CD and DVD with a
workbook. Inspectors have an answer key and a list of samples required to make this course a
hands-on experience for the participants.

TRAIN-THE-TRAINER COURSE
This course is available as an instructortaught
course only. It trains instructors
to teach the two advanced courses:
Prevention of Rigger Mortis and Sling
and Hardware Inspection. In addition to
the technical course materials, it includes
topics such as workshop structure and
training and communication techniques.
