need rigging or fall protection training?

The ASME B30.9 Standard for slings states that “Sling users SHALL be trained in the selection, inspection, cautions to personnel, effects of environment, and rigging practices.”

Ultra-Safe is partnering with Yigal Cohen LLC, a company that specializes in delivering top-tier Quality Rigging Training Solutions. Their programs, available as standardized or customized seminars, are designed to address your company’s unique requirements. These interactive training sessions ensure employees are actively engaged in mastering the selection, inspection, and safe application of rigging tools.

Without this foundational knowledge, employees may face challenges when tasked with rigging responsibilities, potentially leading to workplace injuries or fatalities. Our training programs aim to close these gaps, equipping your team with a solid understanding of risk management and the proper techniques for selecting, inspecting, and using rigging gear safely and effectively.

For those requiring more in-depth training, contact Yigal, who offers a comprehensive selection of certified courses to meet various safety and operational needs. Available training includes 4-Hour and 7-Hour Rigging Seminars, Rigging Level 1 Certification, and Indoor and Outdoor Forklift Certification. Additionally, Yigal provides 4-Hour and 8-Hour Fall Protection Authorized User courses, as well as a 16-Hour Fall Protection Competent Person Certification for those seeking advanced competency in workplace fall safety.
