INT 30310 - Rigging Safety: Hand Signals

0.13 CR
Rigging is principally the preparation involved in moving and placing loads and is a common task for a maintenance craft person. The operators of cranes, hoists, or derricks sometimes cannot see the load when they are moving it. So the lift operator and the rigger need hand signals to communicate. In this module, the student will learn the standard hand signals used during rigging, so that all operators and signalmen understand exactly what movement is being communicated.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Perform maintenance functions safely.
  2. Describe the hazards associated with electro-mechanical systems and how to protect themselves from these hazards.
  3. Explain the function of different electro-mechanical systems found in manufacturing.
  4. Describe how lubrication systems function and describe their importance in equipment maintenance.
