Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1400, Subpart CC, workers who perform rigging tasks on construction sites where cranes and derricks are in use must be qualified. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.753 specifically requires rigging training for steel erection workers. Employers are responsible for ensuring all riggers are qualified before they attach loads to cranes or hoisting equipment. Many employers require documented rigging training for all workers involved in crane lifting operations.

The course is approximately 3–4 hours in length and is divided into 4 parts. Because it is fully self-paced, you can complete it over multiple sessions at your convenience. Progress saves automatically on the same device, so you can stop and resume at any time.

 A rigger is responsible for attaching (rigging) loads to the crane for lifting, including selecting and inspecting rigging equipment such as slings, shackles, and hooks. A signal person is responsible for directing the crane operator during load movement using standardized hand signals or voice communication. These are separate roles with different OSHA qualification requirements under 29 CFR 1926.1400, Subpart CC. Some workers may fill both roles, but each requires its own training.

You must score 70% or higher on the final exam to pass and receive your certificate. Knowledge check quizzes are provided throughout the 4 course parts to help prepare you for the final exam. If you do not pass, you may reattempt the final exam.
