What is Rigging Safety (CAN)?
Rigging Safety (CAN) is a Canadian training program that teaches workers, operators, and supervisors how to safely lift, move, and secure loads using cranes, hoists, slings, chains, and other rigging equipment.
The course provides a foundation in rigging hardware, sling types, load control, and inspection procedures, all in compliance with Canadian safety standards and regulations. Participants learn how to identify hazards, calculate load limits, and choose the right rigging components for each lift.
By applying proper rigging techniques and inspection practices, workers can prevent incidents, reduce equipment damage, and promote safer, more efficient worksites across construction, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
Course Overview
This comprehensive training provides detailed insights into rigging hardware and attachments essential for lifting, moving, and securing loads safely. Learning how to inspect equipment before any lift can mean the difference between a smooth operation and a serious workplace accident. The course explores how to identify worn or faulty rigging components, distinguish between correct and unsafe rigging techniques, and assess the load limits of the machinery in use.
By the conclusion of this Rigging Safety Training, participants will be able to:
- Recognize why regular rigging safety training is critical for workplace safety
- Carry out thorough pre-use inspections on rigging equipment
- Identify hazards related to component failure and take preventive measures
- Apply proper rigging methods to secure loads effectively
