Rigging Safety Training

We have all heard the saying  "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". When it comes to Crane Operations Equipment, Rigging can often be the "weak link". How a load is attached to a crane can make the difference between a successful lift and an unfortunate accident.  Due to the large and heavy loads that are lifted, rigging related accidents usually result in death.  A small miscalculation or a brief moment of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. A coworker can be injured or killed, and expensive equipment and cargo could be damaged or destroyed, even the crane itself. Our Rigging Safety videos and training products point out to employees that over 90% of rigging-related accidents are caused by human error and that employees are the key to preventing these incidents. Topics covered in these products include: Physical and mental preparation, Personal protective equipment, Equipment inspection, Hazard assessment, Slings and hitches, Hand signals, Load angles, and more.
