OSHA Rigging Training and Crane Rigging Certification Course Online: Rigger Signalman – Operator

OSHA Rigging Training and Crane Rigging Certification from OSHA.net will ensure that you are fully educated on the needed hand signals as well as know-how to rig up a load with a crane or other heavy machinery.

Rigger Signalman – Operator Safety Course

Signalmen are the people on the ground who communicate with the operators of cranes and other heavy machinery. Because things are already loud, trying to shout commands doesn’t work very well and could lead to a dangerous situation, so a series of hand signals have been developed for clear communication. But even before you start to use those hand signals to move heavy items, you need to rig those items properly so that they don’t tip, fall off, or otherwise hurt people on the job site. That’s where rigging certification training becomes necessary.
