Rigger and Signalperson (Advanced) (CAN)
This advanced Rigger and Signalperson course is designed to meet the Canada-compliant safety training requirements for experienced riggers and signalers. The course delves into various aspects such as stability, load charts, rigging equipment, principles of rigging, and safe operations. The course is structured to meet occupational safety training requirements, including a proficiency checklist for employers to evaluate practical skills. Upon successful completion, participants can download and print a certificate or wallet card as proof of their advanced training in Rigger and Signalperson. However, it is essential to note that only employers can officially certify employees. Certification requirements can differ based on regional standards. Therefore, participants are advised to check local standards for any additional occupational training requirements.
The Advanced Rigger and Signalperson course is designed to be OSHA compliant, and our online version satisfies OSHA’s classroom training requirement.
Interspersed with practice quiz questions, this course prepares participants for the final written exam. Additionally, it includes an employer's checklist for the required practical exam as per OSHA regulations.
