CRANE & RIGGING TRAINING
Start Here: What Certification Do You Need?
Signal Person Training
A signal person is the crane operator’s counterpart on the other side of the load. The signal person is responsible for combining their knowledge of crane safety and limitations with what they are actively seeing and hearing during crane operations in order to relay the appropriate signals to the crane operator and to keep everyone safe.
A good signal person can make a bad operator look good.
A bad signal person can make a good operator look bad.
1926.1428 Signal Person Qualifications
The employer of the signal person must ensure that each signal person meets the Qualification Requirements in 1926.1428 prior to giving any signals.
This requirement must be met by using either third party qualified evaluator (like AICB) or the employer’s qualified evaluator.
Rigging Training
Employers must determine whether a person is qualified to perform specific rigging tasks. A qualified rigger is a rigger who meets the criteria for a qualified person.
The person designated as the qualified rigger must have the ability to properly rig the load for a particular job. Each qualified rigger may have different credentials or experience and it is task specific.
29 CFR 1926.1401, 1926.1404, and 1926.1425.
Employers must use qualified riggers during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work, 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.
