Safety Training for Hoisting & Rigging

Hoists are frequently utilized in the process of moving larger, bulky or heavy materials from one location to another. Slings (e.g. chains, wire ropes, mesh or synthetic) help hoists keep suspended loads in place, and are commonly used in tandem with lifting means such as overhead cranes, hoists or forklifts. Our safety training course in hoisting and rigging is designed to give the participant an essential understanding of proper, safe operations involving hoisting and rigging, as well knowing how to recognize potential safety hazards and risks during hoisting and rigging operations.
