Webinar Looks at Improving Crane and Rigging Competency

March 22, 2016 - Mike Parnell of Industrial Training International (ITI), along with Sheldon Redpath of Mammoet and Robert Day of Suncor Energy will host a live webinar on April 6 at 1 PM EDT. The “International Competency Assessment Board (I-CAB) Assessment” webinar is presented by Lifting Gear Hire (LGH).

The webinar was created to help improve the way crane and rigging competency is measured within the crane and rigging field. An industry-focused improvement team was established to evaluate a skills assessment tool created with the help of the International Competency Assessment Board (I-CAB). It was decided that that an assessment was needed due to the complex nature of managing crane and rigging competencies.

During this webinar, the use of the Crane and Riggers Assessment Tool will be reviewed with all participants and those in attendance will learn how this tool can be used to reduce high risk events through increasing cumulative competency of personnel. The webinar will also teach how the assessment can save both time and money by providing individual learning plans based on assessment results, and pinpoint deficiencies in current knowledge of personnel, thus allowing for tailored training sessions.
