ASME B-30.9 Standard for slings states that “…Sling users SHALL be trained in the selection, inspection, cautions to personnel, effects of environment, and rigging practices…”

Yigal Cohen LLC specializes in Quality Rigging Training Solutions, offering standardized and custom seminars to meet your company’s specific needs. This training keeps your employees engaged in learning about rigging tool selection, inspection and application.

Employees who don’t have this fundamental understanding are often asked to perform rigging tasks. Gaps in rigging training can result in workplace injuries and fatalities. The goal of this training is for your employees to ultimately walk away with a stronger understanding of risk management, and how to properly select, inspect and use rigging gear.
