Basic Crane & Rigging Training
1-Day | Awareness-Level Lift Safety Fundamentals Course Number BCRT-101
This seminar provides essential crane-and-rigging awareness for personnel who work around lifting operations or assist with rigging tasks. Participants review key OSHA requirements and applicable ASME guidance at a high level, learn crane components and basic rigging hardware, and understand fundamental lift safety principles. Topics include hazard recognition, safe work zones, basic sling and hardware inspection points, and standard hand signals. A written knowledge check is included.
Highlights
- Crane types/components and roles & responsibilities
- Rigging basics: slings, hardware, inspection awareness
- Load hazards, sling angle awareness, and work zones
- Basic hand signals and communication expectations
- Written knowledge evaluation
- Permit Ready Compliance
2-Day | Applied Rigging Skills & Lift Planning Basics Course Number BCRT-102
Day two increases technical depth and adds practical application. Participants learn rigging selection and capacity concepts, center of gravity fundamentals, sling angle effects, and an overview of load charts and lift planning. Hands-on workshops may include inspections, rigging configurations, and signaling practice. Written and practical evaluations help document basic competency and safe task performance.
Highlights
- Rigging selection, hitch types, and capacity considerations
- Center of gravity + sling angle/tension fundamentals
- Below-the-hook device basics (shackles, eye bolts, beams)
- Practical labs: inspection, rigging setup, signaling
- Written + practical evaluations
- Permit Ready Compliance
3-Day | Advanced Crane and Rigging Segment Course Number BCRT-103
This extended format builds toward rigger/signal person-level knowledge and applied competence. Participants complete detailed lift planning exercises, advanced load weight and sling stress calculations (including multi-leg bridles), and critical lift considerations. Extensive hands-on scenarios and structured evaluations support employer qualification documentation and internal compliance programs.
Highlights
- ANSI lift planning, following guidelines of ANSI P30.1
- Critical lifts | Engineered Lifts
- The application of OSHA prepared documentation
- Detailed lift planning, hazard analysis, and critical lift factors
- Advanced calculations: load weight, sling stress, multi-leg
- Documentation practices and inspection record expectations
- Supervised scenarios and formal practical assessments
- Robust written testing for qualification support
