This seminar will help you meet the requirements pertaining to the OSHA Crane and Derrick Standard 1926.1400. You will receive the information and training
necessary to be a “qualified rigger” and a “qualified signal person” which are both now mandatory in the Standard.
Crane Safety & OSHA Regulations covered are:
• Requirements for Operators, Signalpersons & Riggers
• Ground Conditions, Power Line Safety, Assembly/Disassembly, Inspections, Fall Protection, Operator
Qualifications, Operational Aids and more.
According to the Standard, a “qualified rigger” is a person who, “by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, successfully demonstrated the ability to solve/resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project.” This seminar will help you obtain the “knowledge/training component” of this requirement.
This OSHA Standard requires Signal Persons to be “qualified” either by having an in-house qualified evaluator assess the individual or by use of a third party qualified evaluator. This course will meet the standard of a “third party evaluator” for the signalperson qualification requirements; however, it is important for individual employers to assess the knowledge, experience, abilities, and qualifications of all employees prior to allowing them to perform any specific task.
All program attendees will receive:
• Copies of Presentation Materials
• 29CFR1926 Subpart CC- The OSHA Cranes and Derricks Standards Handbook
• Mobile Hand Signal reference guide
• Rigging Safety reference guide
• Rigger Capacity reference guide
• A Course Completion Card
