Crane And Rigging Safety Videos

Importance of Crane and Rigging Safety Training in the Workplace

Cranes and rigging move the heaviest loads on a site, and when something goes wrong the consequences are rarely minor: dropped loads, tip-overs, contact with power lines and workers caught in the swing radius. OSHA’s crane standard for construction (29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC) requires qualified riggers and signal persons, and general industry rules for overhead cranes and slings (29 CFR 1910.179 and 1910.184) require regular inspection and safe operating practices.

Our Crane Safety training video reviews the hazards of working with cranes, the federal regulations that address them and the policies and procedures employees should follow. Rigging Safety in Industrial and Construction Environments covers the hazards of rigging and moving loads, along with the equipment and safe work practices that keep them under control. Crane crews also work around other machines, so add our heavy equipment training, Struck-By Hazards in Construction Environments and electrical safety training for work near energized lines.

Both crane and rigging safety videos are available in English and Spanish. Assign them to operators, riggers and signal persons through Unlimited Interactive Online Training, review them before a critical lift with Unlimited Safety Video Streaming, or order safety DVDs and USBs for your yard or job trailer.
