Qualified Rigger Requirements

When is it needed

Employers must use qualified riggers during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work according to OSHA Regulation 1926.1404(r)(1)

Work Area Requirements

Qualified Riggers are required whenever workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking, or guiding a load, or doing the initial connection of a load to a component or structure according to 1926.1425(c).

Employers Responsibility

Employers may choose to use a third party entity to assess the qualifications of the rigger candidate, but they are not required to do so.

Is Certification Required?

A qualified rigger is a rigger who meets the criteria for a qualified person. Employers must determine whether a person is qualified to perform specific rigging tasks.

Personal Crane Training?

online rigging course

Our online crane, rigging and signalperson training courses quiz you on specific areas that will be on your crane operator certification tests. Having quiz scores helps to identify the area(s) an individual needs to focus on. Learning is very much an individual effort. But when you can go through topics over and over that you need help with you won't slow everybody else down. You ever sit in a class where one person just does not get it? Have you ever been that person? Well with online crane and rigging safety training you have the ability to focus on the topics that you just don't get.

When you sign up for our online crane operator training course you get access 24 hours a day for 6 months. But what you may not know is that you are also able to pick up the phone and ask questions on those areas you may be struggling with. Lets say you are struggling with Load Charts. What you can do is pick up the phone and ask for technical assistance on a specific topic. We will do our best to walk you through the crane, rigging or signalperson topic and help you through the difficulty you may be experiencing.

When you attend a live course you have this for 4 days if you have a small class. Normally the instructor will be able to help you with the topic right there. What happens when that instructor is not available. Or that instructor just needs to move on to the next topic. You're pretty screwed. Maybe the course is over and you still don't quite get it. Thats one of the benefits of using our online crane operator training. Your quiz scores let you see how well you are progressing. If you are getting scores below 60 or 70 percent in a specific area then you'll obviously need to focus on that area. You can call us and ask for help.

I am a big advocate for e-learning or online learning or digital learning whatever you want to name it. Give us a call and ask us how we can save you time and money when preparing for your crane operators license. And remember to ask for Gerry!

 

 

Attention Safety Managers

Online Savings Cost Effective

Isn't it time you brought some of your equipment training back in-house? We're always on the go and want our information to be immediate. Well the same should be true for our safety training. With the ease of use and availability of our online training modules you once again have this capability at your finger tips. Not only is our online safety training convenient, it make sense when it comes to managing your students/employees. Why would management or a business owner want to spend so much money in live training? It just no longer makes sense.

The cost per person for small groups is too high for live off-site training. A company will normally have a smaller group of individuals to train. Maybe there is a new hire or an employee who needs to renew their certification. Online safety training allows for your organization to train individuals and still be within a reasonable cost. Live training for qualified rigger or signalperson will cost upwards of $400.00. Add in the cost of travel and possible meals. A company will need to cover travel costs as well and maybe even a hotel room. Finally, if the training is in another state, which is sometimes the case, air fare can cost another $400.00. Add all that up and you can be looking at well over 1,000 dollars to train one person.

Let's compare the live training costs to an online course. The same qualified rigger or signal person class taken through our PROVEN online training will cost $139.00 flat. No travel costs, no hotel, no meals and no air fare. That's a solid savings right off the bat of potentially $800.00 per person. What a great way to save money in today's tough economy.

OSHA requires your employees to be trained in order to perform their duties. Why would you consider sending your employee off to another site or state when all you have to do is place your employee in front of a computer and our online learning management tracks their every effort: scores, quizzes and time spent learning?

Our learning management system logs all these training efforts for you to show OSHA in the event of an audit or even worse an accident. Our online Mobile Crane, Rigger and Signal Person courses have been proven time after time. We have many satisfied customers who have taken the time to thank us via email and face-to-face. Give us a call or maybe even request a quote to see how we can save your team money and Don't forget to ask for Gerry!
