Key Features

Available in English and Spanish versions.

The "Rigging Safety" Interactive CD-ROM is designed to remind employees that over 90% of crane-related accidents are caused by human error... and that they are the key to preventing these incidents. We have all heard the phrase... "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". When it comes to crane operations, Rigging can often be that "weak link".

How a load is attached to a crane can make the difference between a successful lift and an unfortunate accident. And Rigging-related accidents can often be deadly, due to the large and heavy loads that are lifted. A small miscalculation, or a brief moment of inattention, and tragedy could strike. Once a load falls not much can be done to stop it, and there is little time for people to move safely out of the way. A coworker can be injured or killed, and expensive equipment and cargo could be damaged or destroyed... even the crane itself.

Areas covered in the program include physical and mental preparation, personal protective equipment, equipment inspection, hazard assessment, slings, hitches, hand signals, load angles, and more. Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video, text and colorful graphics, this Course from The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™ provides the most cost-effective Safety and Regulatory Compliance training available today. The Course features platform software which installs automatically, and comprehensive User's and Trainer's Guides. The Course is about 35 minutes long (depending on the employee), and is divided into a number of logical sections so information is easily understood... and retained. Also designed with the Training Manager in mind, all Courses in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™ include a Training Management System (at no additional cost). Using this System, trainers can set up "Pre" and "Post" tests... establish log-in procedures... even define and set up curriculum for various job classes. The System also allows employee performance information to be collected and organized through a powerful relational database, which can generate a number of record-keeping and tracking reports... and has a database "import/export" feature, which allows information to be transferred to and from an external database (such as a company's Personnel Database and/or Learning Management System).

The Course is one of over 100 titles currently available in The Interactive CD-ROM Training Library™. Other Interactive Courses on Safety and Regulatory Compliance topics are currently being developed, including Spanish-language Courses, and will be available soon.

The objective of the "Rigging Safety" Interactive CD-ROM is to remind employees that over 90% of crane-related accidents are caused by human error... and that they are the key to preventing these incidents.
