Get Certified in Rigging & Signalperson Training

1. Rigging and Signalperson Training Rigging and signal person qualification training is critical in the crane industry. A qualified rigger and signal person has received recognized training to safely move loads. A qualified rigger or signal person will have extensive experience, training, and knowledge, which can strongly demonstrate the ability to solve rigging load problems. When moving a load, each person designated as a qualified rigger or signal person must be able to correctly rig or signal the operator. It does not imply that a rigger must be capable of performing all types of rigging tasks. AP Crane Training offers nationwide online crane signal person training.

2. Rigging Qualification requirements of Subpart CC Cranes and derricks in construction, as specified in 29 CFR 1926.1401, 1926.1404, and 1926.1425. This became effective on November 8, 2010. A qualified rigger is a rigger who meets the standards for a qualified person. Businesses must decide whether a person is qualified to complete specific rigging jobs. Various qualified riggers may have different credentials or experience. Qualified riggers are required when: When performing hoisting activities for construction and disassembly work, all businesses must use qualified riggers and signalpersons (1926.1404(r)(1)). Qualified riggers are also required when operators are within the fall zone and securing, unhooking, or managing a load, or when making the initial connection of a load to a component or structure (1926.1425(c)). All loads that require rigging have distinct properties that range from simple to complex. A rigger, for example, may have extensive experience rigging fundamental components and other equipment to support specific construction activities. Such experience could have been gained over a period of several years. However, experience does not appear to automatically qualify the rigger to rig unstable, exceptionally heavy, or unusual loads that may necessitate a harness lift, multiple lifts, or the use of a crane. Riggers don't need to be certified by an accredited organization or assessed by a third party. Businesses may choose to use a third-party entity to evaluate the qualifications of the rigger applicant, but they are not required to do so.

3. Signal Person Qualification Requirements Of Subpart CC Cranes and derricks in construction, as specified in 29 CFR 1926.1419 and 1926.1428. Additional requirements associated to signal persons can be found at 29 CFR 1926.1404, 1926.1430, 1926.1431, and 1926.1441. This became effective on November 8, 2010. A signal person is required for: The period of operation is not in full view of the operator (1926.1419(a)). The operator's view is blocked in the direction the equipment is moving. Either the operator or the person handling the load will determine if a signal person is required for site-specific safety matters. The signal person is recognized as If: ●Knows and recognizes the type of signals used at the worksite. ●Is responsible for using these signals. ●Understands the procedures and restrictions of the equipment, including the crane dynamics. Includes swinging, raising, lowering, and stopping loads as well as boom deflection of hoisting loads. ●Knows and understands the proper signal person qualification requirements defined in subpart CC (1926.1419-1926.1422; 1926.1428). Passes a verbal or written test and a practical test. ●Businesses must use one of the following alternatives to ensure that a signal person is qualified (see 1926.1428).
