Civil workers are not the only ones who benefit from better training in civil rigging.
Effective training not only prevents accidents and ensures safety for workers, but it also relieves the legal and corporate pressures of negligence on the part of managers and owners.
Whether it’s safety risks, damage risks, legal liabilities, or loss of work, the cost of accidents is enormous.
Untrained and unqualified managers can be a major liability to construction companies and city work crews.

– Ralf Notheis, Manager of Bigfoot’s Academy.
Bigfoot’s training for civil riggers empowers workers with knowledge so that they can be confident on job sites. With adequate training, they can perform their work with the kind of self-assurance and professionalism that is required in a high-risk environment.
