Rigging Competent Person Training

Rigging operations — the attachment, securing, and movement of loads using slings, hooks, shackles, and other hardware — carry significant risk when performed by undertrained or unqualified personnel. PS&M's Rigging Competent Person Training prepares designated employees to inspect rigging equipment, calculate load weights and sling angles, select the appropriate rigging configuration, and identify and correct unsafe conditions before lifts are performed — protecting workers and limiting your organization's exposure to serious incidents and citations.

This training is essential for construction contractors, industrial facilities, and any employer whose operations involve material handling with cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment. Competent person designation supports both OSHA compliance and a documented commitment to safe lifting practices.
