The ability to safely move materials and pieces of equipment is a vital part of many construction projects. In part because of the complex nature of the seemingly simple task of lifting an object, an effective program is necessary to lift and move heavy loads safely. Attendees will be informed about OSHA and ASME standards, how to identify and mitigate rigging hazards, basic crane safety, crane hand signals, and inspection of slings and hardware. This program is based on 29 CFR 1910 OSHA General Industry Regulation Sub Part N Material Handling and Storage 1910.184 – Slings.
