About the eLearning Course
The Rigging, Slings, and Crane Lifts course focuses on safe lifting and rigging practices. You will learn how to plan a lift, employ proper rigging techniques, understand center of gravity, use rigging hardware, determine safe working loads, and interpret hand signals. The course also covers various types of cranes, slings, hitches, and chain hoists. Topics include sling types and angles, different hitches and slings, multiple leg hitches, proper sling storage and handling, and the use of chain hoists. This course is designed to ensure compliance with OSHA regulations such as 29 CFR 1910.179, 29 CFR 1910.180, 29 CFR 1910.181, 29 CFR 1910.182, and 29 CFR 1910.68.
