Rigging Principles + Hardware and Sling Application and Inspection

Rigging is an essential part of many maritime operations, and performing the work safely requires the right knowledge, planning, and attention to detail. Proper rigging practices help prevent injuries, protect equipment, and ensure loads are lifted and moved safely. This training provides practical knowledge to help participants recognize hazards, make informed decisions, and strengthen safe rigging practices in the workplace.

Signal has partnered with Kito Crosby to bring their industry-leading Rigging Fundamentals training to our Members. The training provides practical instruction designed to strengthen rigging knowledge and promote safer lifting operations. With training delivered to more than 630,000 people worldwide, Kito Crosby’s proven program provides participants with industry-recognized rigging knowledge and best practices.
 

Participants may attend one of two course offerings in the Galveston and Houston areas. 

Please note that you only need to register for the session that best fits your schedule, as both sessions will cover the same training content.
