Ensuring riggers and signal persons are qualified is essential to maintaining safe lifting operations and meeting regulatory requirements. However, understanding employer responsibilities, qualification requirements and industry standards can be challenging for organizations responsible for developing and qualifying personnel.

In this webinar, you'll learn how to:

  • Clarify regulatory requirements and employer responsibilities.
  • Strengthen lift safety and compliance.
  • Implement effective training and testing programs.
  • Develop a pathway for qualification and certification success.

Join Ray Rice, NCCER Regional Business Development Manager, for an overview of the industry standards, regulatory requirements and best practices for developing qualified riggers and signal persons.

The webinar will cover ASME B30 standards, OSHA requirements for riggers and signal persons (29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC), employer responsibilities, the differences between qualification, certification and competent person roles, and the knowledge and skills required to support safe lifting operations.
