CRANE RIGGING & THIRD PARTY SIGNALING SAFETY TRAINING

Do any of you still need this 3-4 hour training course for your employees???  This course is a “qualified person” training.  If there is sufficient need in any region for the training I will be glad to set it up.  The cost of the trainer will be pro-rated out by number of participants.  At the request of the Northeast Regional members, the class offered there is saving the member about $150 per participant.  Email Jean if you are interested in setting up a class jdpetsch@windstream.net
