Vertical construction requires building a structure up or away from the surface of the earth. The work requires heavy construction equipment for moving workers, materials and other equipment onto the structure as it is built. Hoisting or lifting loads is an integral part of this construction. How it is to be done must be incorporated into the construction strategy and how much it will cost must be included in the budget. Choosing the right lifting equipment and rigging is mandatory for safe vertical construction.

Content included in this 2-hour online interactive course is intended to be basic. Discussion focuses on basic principles for lifting equipment selection, capabilities and uses.

This course includes a test at the end.
