INT 30270 - Rigging Safety: Wire and Rope Slings

0.13 CR
Rigging is principally the preparation involved in moving and placing loads and is a common task for a maintenance craft person. Before attaching a sling to a load, it is important to calculate the safe working load of the sling and understand how the angle of the sling will affect the strength of the sling. In this module, the student will learn how to use slings to attach hoists and equipment to an object in order to make a safe lift.

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.
