Hoisting & Rigging

This six hour program is intended to provide participants with the knowledge required to recognize and assess hazards associated with overhead cranes, hoists and rigging and the appropriate control measures and safe work procedures to control or eliminate hazards. The program discusses relevant health and safety legislation and the applicable regulations and standards for crane, hoist and rigging operations.

A practicum evaluation at the end of the program allows participants to demonstrate their acquired knowledge directly in the field. Where possible and appropriate the practicum is done in the workplace of the participant. The evaluation form is in triplicate and allows for copies for the workplace, the participant and WHSC record keeping.
