820-04 - Rigging, Part 3

Hoisting is not a simple action of typing a rope to an object and lifting it. What is being lifted and what equipment is appropriate for that action must be considered. The hardware used in and with rigging installations and applications is as important as the ropes and chains used with them. Not only must workers know what hardware to use and how to use it, but they must also know how safe working loads compare with the rope or chain. The Rigging, Part 3 training course describes the design and importance of several types of rigging hardware. It also discusses appropriate applications for their use. This online course covers chains, drums, sheaves, hooks, blocks and reeving and slings Rigging, Part 3 is part of the Rigging, Lifted, and Elevated Work Surfaces training series.
