Rigging Safety
NATEC’s Rigging Safety Training Course is a fundamental program designed to provide participants with a foundational understanding of rigging safety. This course, focusing on essential rigging terminology and practices, aims to enhance safety awareness and prevent rigging-related accidents and failures. It’s important to note that this course does not qualify participants see regulation update below; instead, it offers a solid grounding in observing and understanding rigging operations.
Important Regulatory Update: As of December 17, 2022, in accordance with ASME B30.5-3.l.2.2, it’s now a requirement that individuals operating as riggers for mobile cranes (including but not limited to Crawler Cranes, Locomotive Cranes, and Wheeled Cranes) of 1 ton capacity or more, must be formally qualified. This entails successful completion of both written and hands-on practical assessments for rigger qualification. This can be done by an employer with an internal qualified proctor or a third-party. NATEC offers Qualified Rigger-ask your Account Manager for details.
