    Description
    This course is designed to meet the needs of indentured apprentices with the State of California who are interested in the carpentry industry. The course covers procedures for proper lifting and rigging methods as well as information about and the history behind industry-recognized standards, applicable regulations, specific hazards, and general safety concerns associated with construction rigging. Detailed descriptions of hoisting and rigging configurations, lifting hardware, crane types, and operating issues are presented. In-class training takes up identifying standard signaling and communication methods, and stresses the importance of load calculations, manufacturer load limits, inspection criteria, and safe operator/operating parameters applicable to the carpenter trade.
