Crane Safety and Basic Rigging Training Suite (IACET CEU=0.2)

Worksites can be very dangerous and unpredictable places with loud noises, falling objects, flying sparks, toxic chemicals, whirling blades and belts, and more. So what is one way to keep yourself safe? By wearing personal protective equipment, commonly known as PPE, you can protect yourselfagainst hazards and reduce your chances of getting hurt or even killed. Ideal learners are construction workers.

This program provides information about worker rights and employer responsibilities and describes how to identify, abate, avoid and prevent job-related hazards. Although many essential safety topics are covered, additional site-specific information and hands-on demonstrations of skills are ultimately needed for your safety and to fulfill training requirements found in OSHA standards. Many jurisdictions, employers and unions require this course, which is voluntary at the U.S. federal level. Each student who completes the program will receive a completion card issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA Outreach Training is only available to trainees within the geographic jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act. Trainees outside this jurisdiction will not receive cards. This 30-Hour program is intended for workers with some safety responsibility, and the 10-Hour program is primarily intended for entry-level workers. The program will take longer than 30 hours.

Crane operators count on signalers to provide vital lifting instructions. Whether you deliver signals, receive them or just witness them, it is important that you know why they are important, what they are, and what to do if stop work signals are given. This course provides a crane signaling overview that is appropriate for all people who work around cranes and lays the foundation for additional, in-depth and hands-on training that crane operators and signalers will receive.

Rigging is a process used to secure materials to be moved by cranes, hoists or other lifting equipment. It is important for everyone involved with rigging activities to be aware of its associated risks, how to work safely and how to prevent equipment failure. Take these courses to learn about the basic principles of rigging that we all need to follow to keep our worksites safe. This suite is ideal for construction and general industry workers who may be involved in rigging activities as well as their supervisors. It lays the foundation for in-depth and on-the-job training for riggers.
