COURSE OVERVIEW
The course is intended to familiarize riggers with the many types of rigging and slinging equipment as well as the regulation that pertains to the usage of such equipment. Formal education and hands-on experience are both a part of the curriculum for this course. The classroom-based theory portion of the instruction is delivered by a teacher, and it is supplemented with the visual help of international standard rigging and slinging DVDs. The practical training comprises of a comprehensive demonstration, as well as the individual application of the theoretical information.
COURSE OBJECTIVE
The training will provide knowledge, both theoretical and practical, on safe methods and procedures for rigging and slinging. Participants will be able to do basic rigging, evaluation of components, safe and proper handling of components, and inspections of components once the course has been successfully completed. The participants will also learn how to apply the chains, ropes, slings, and gear that are utilized in rigging in various situations.
