The importance of rigging safety training is underscored by industry data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which reports that crane- and hoisting- related incidents account for a significant number of fatal struck-by accidents in construction each year, often involving falling or swinging loads due to improper rigging or communication failures. By increasing awareness of rigging components, load stability, and common hazards, this training helps reduce the risk of serious injuries, equipment damage, and fatal incidents while supporting OSHA compliance outlined in 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC for an active job site.
