Description
Water and Wastewater operators often times are required to work on repairs or installations of water and wastewater lines. Both require use of truck mounted cranes and rigging to assist in performing this work. All operators are required by OSHA to be "qualified" to operate these cranes, rig the object they lift and if they signal any crane operator to used standardized hand signals. This course would inform operators of these requirements, demonstrate proper procedures and allow for written and "hands-on" evaluations of each operator.
