Competent Rigger Level II

Sixteen hours of intense study covering intermediate to advanced rigging applications. This course prepares the rigger to safely perform Level 2 rigging activity. The rigger will be trained to calculate tensions based on sling angles of symmetric and non-symmetric loads, headroom limitations and load weights. The rigger will learn to select the safest and most efficient slings and hardware for the job. Crane communication skills and pre-use inspection techniques are also part of this valuable training.
