Qualified Rigging & Signalperson Course
The new OSHA Crane and Derrick Regulation
Effective November 8, 2010 all “Signalpersons” and “Riggers” shall be qualified when utilizing crane operations. OSHA defines qualified as “a person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, successfully demonstrates the ability to solve/resolve problems relating to the subject matter, the work, or the project.” This is a mandatory requirement in accordance with the new crane standard regulations.
OSHA has made distinct designations with “qualified signal person evaluators” for both in-house and third-party groups. Third party evaluations are transferable from employer to employer and in-house evaluations are specific to that employer and the scope of work they are working under.
Safety Resources Inc. is offering a one-day course to train “experienced riggers” in rigging and signaling. This class is designed to provide a more detailed knowledge base for those employees who have some basic experience with rigging and signaling operations, but require a more detailed course to be considered qualified. It will also start to prepare the attendees to pass an accredited certification test if he or she chooses to do so.
