Objectives

Crosby University programs are specially designed for end users, including riggers, crane operators, safety professionals, trainers, job site leaders, and more. Attend one of our industry-leading safe-use and application training sessions.  Day 3 of these events are for rigging trainers who will be using our materials to train others. You can attend all three days, or just the first two days to learn about rigging.

 

Objectives: Day 1

Terminal Objective:

This course is designed to provide the attendee with the basic knowledge and skills to identify unsafe conditions while using Crosby rigging hardware with wire rope, chain and synthetic slings.

 

Enabling Objectives:

1. Identify the correct definition of working load limit.

2. Recognize the two ASME B30 standards that require training.

3. List at least 5 things that should be included in a rigging plan.

4. Identify when “Rigging Hardware” requires inspection, per ASME B30.26.

5. Identify which OSHA standard addresses rigging for general industry.

6. Identify which OSHA standard addresses rigging for construction.

7. Identify correct sling operating practices per ASME B30.9.

8. Identify protection of sling requirements per ASME B30.9.

9. Recognize the fundamental principles for good load control.

10. Recognize the importance of knowing the weight of the load.

11. Identify which slings carry the greatest share of the load, when multiple legs are attached to a load.

12. Calculate vertical share of the load when center of gravity is in the middle.

13. Recognize basic rigging triangle facts.

14. Recognize where the horizontal sling angles are located in a rigging triangle.

15. Determine how to calculate the load angle multiplier for slings.

16. Calculate sling tension when the center of gravity is in the middle of the load.

17. Recognize proper application of hooks and latches as addressed in ASME B30.10, OSHA and Crosby recommendations.

18. Recognize proper application of screw pin, bolt type shackles, and master links as addressed by ASME B30.26 and Crosby recommendations.

19. Recognize proper application of eyebolts and hoist rings as addressed by ASME B30.26 and Crosby recommendations.

20. Determine the efficiency and correct installation of Crosby wire rope end fittings including wire rope clips, wedge sockets, swage and spelter sockets.

21. Identify the design factor for wire rope, chain and synthetic slings per ASME B30.9.

22. Identify maximum size object in the eye of a wire rope sling and synthetic webbing sling per ASME B30.9.

23. Recognize the capacity of wire rope, chain and synthetic slings when used as choker and basket hitches.

24. Recognize the minimum D/d ratio for wire rope and chain basket hitches per ASME B30.9.

25. Identify the correct chain recommended by OSHA and ASME for overhead lifting.

26. Determine minimum sling capacity of vertical, choker and basket hitches using wire rope, chain and synthetic slings.

 

Objectives: Day 2

Terminal Objectives:

At the conclusion of this course, the attendees should be able to:

  1. Identify basic application and/or inspection requirements when using Crosby rigging hardware, lifting clamps, crane blocks and sheaves.
  2. Be able to recognize inspection requirements per ASME B30.9 when inspecting wire rope, chain and synthetic slings.
  3. Be able to locate and utilize basic formulas or Crosby tools to assist in the determination of load weight, location of center of gravity and sling tension before the material handling activity begins.

Enabling Objectives:

1. Recognize ASME B30.9 wire rope, chain and synthetic sling inspection criteria.

2. Identify the correct definition of “mechanical advantage” in block applications.

3. Determine correct number of “parts of line” when using crane blocks.

4. Determine total load place on crane blocks.

5. Recognize why a crane block or overhaul ball must weigh a minimum amount of weight.

6. Determine loading on snatch blocks when using one or two parts of line.

7. Recognize basic application requirements when using Crosby vertical and horizontal lifting clamps.

8. Recognize common formulas for calculating load weight and sling tension.

9. Calculate sling tension when C.O.G. in the middle between pick points. When load is rigged using a rigging triangle.

10. Determine correct size hardware for connection points at top of rigging triangle and connection points at the load.

11. Determine correct size of slings for attachment to the load.

12. Recognize Crosby Apple and Android Apps that are available to utilize in the field.

13. Recognize Crosby E-learning Tools that are available.

 

Objectives: Day 3 (For Trainers)
