A CAN Rigger and Signalperson (Advanced) online safety course is an important part of any rigging and signaling activity. This online program is designed to teach workers how to safely operate lifting equipment. You will learn to identify hazards, and adhere to safe work practices.
The course notes many topics such as rigging hardware, load charts, and hand signals. It is also designed to teach employees how to properly inspect and maintain rigging equipment. They will learn to use proper body mechanics. Properly secure cargo and how to use load-bearing slings are incorporated in the program.
To take this course, workers are required have a valid rigging and signaling certification. They must also have at least two years of experience in the rigging and signaling industry to be certified.
To pass the Canadian Rigger and Signalperson Advancedcourse, workers must demonstrate their knowledge of the topics covered . They must also be able to accurately use hand signals and equipment safely. At the end of the course, workers will be required to take a written exam which has a 80% mark.
By taking a CAN Rigger and Signalperson (Advanced) safety course, you will have the knowledge and skills necessary to safely operate rigging and signaling equipment. They will be able to identify rigging hazards, safe work practices, and help ensure that the job is completed safely and efficiently at work.
Our Rigger and Signalman training course is OSHA compliant, and our online version fulfills OSHA’s classroom training requirement.
This presentation includes intermittent practice quiz questions to prepare for the final written exam. In addition to the written exam, this course also includes a checklist for employers, They can use it when administering a practical exam as required by OSHA.
