Rigger

In 2010, OSHA updated the crane regulations to include additional training and qualifications for riggers. In response, NCCER has restructured and added to its existing curriculum to create a three-level rigger course that meets or exceeds the current requirements found in the OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926 Amendment.

Topics covered in Basic, Intermediate and Advanced Rigger include Rigging Equipment, Basic Principals of Cranes, and Lift Planning.
