Course description
30 Hour Special Rigger
As per 3314.4.5.3 of the 2014 NYC Construction Codes, this 32-hour suspended scaffold supervisor course is required by the New York City Department of Buildings (DOB) to supervise suspended scaffold projects on construction sites in New York City. Students will develop the essential management skills required to be an effective supervisor of suspended scaffolding operations, which contributes to the professional development of an individual and provides evidence of supervisory qualifications. With the use of New York City Construction Codes and OSHA Regulations, students will learn how to stay in compliance with the most current suspended scaffold standards. Material covered during the course is much more extensive than during the user course, and will include guidance on how to read scaffold design drawings, how to verify the fitness of the rigging crew, properly train workers on related hazards, and also how to identify and respond to emergency situations.
