As you wind down your work week and prepare to enjoy the upcoming extended weekend, here's a little Labor Day history:

It’s widely believed that on September 5, 1882, union leaders marched in what is thought of as the very first Labor Day parade. Over 20,000 disgruntled New York City workers from a wide variety of industries, such as clothing makers and railroad workers (including children), had enough of their unsafe working conditions after being forced to work over 12 hours a day in spaces that were making them sick.

In the late 1800s, the average American worked 12-hour days and 7-day weeks.
Labor Day began in the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday on June 28, 1894 when it was signed into law by then-president Grover Cleveland.

Shoutout to those who gathered before us to organize and advocate and to those who continue to work tirelessly to protect workers’ rights.

Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day!

Qualified Rigger vs. Certified Rigger? Have you ever asked, or have you ever been asked about either?

Let's take a closer look!

What is the Difference?
The terms “qualified” and “certified” are often used interchangeably in the rigging industry, but OSHA standards and qualifications for each role are very different. OSHA standards require that qualified riggers must be used during hoisting activities for assembly and disassembly work, or when workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking, or guiding a load, or connecting a load to a component or structure. However, OSHA does not require that riggers be “certified,” which is another level of achievement in the rigging industry.

Qualified Rigger:
OSHA only loosely specifies who meets the criteria of a qualified rigger, leaving the final determination up to the employer. A qualified rigger “possesses a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, OR who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, can successfully demonstrate the ability to solve problems related to rigging loads. Qualified riggers do not, however have to be certified by an accredited organization or third party. Under these criteria, a rigger with extensive hands-on experience, but no formal training or certifications, may be considered a qualified rigger. To become a Qualified Rigger, a 2-hour exam is required with 100 questions.

Certified Rigger:
A certified rigger is a person who has passed stringent written and practical exams related to rigging and can be certified at a Level 1 or 2. Accredited organizations such as NCCCO (National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators) and many training programs offer rigger certification testing for various levels.

Professionally Certified Rigger:
The strictest requirements are in place to be designated as a Professionally Certified Rigger, including:
A total of 6,000 hours to become a journeyman.
Individuals complete an Accredited Apprentice and re-training Journeyman School (the only school in the nation certified by the Department of Labor (D.O.L.) for rigging, machinery moving, and machinery erecting.
OSHA 30 hours is required
IMPACT (Ironworker International Program) Drug and Alcohol random testing with 3rd party medical screening
OSHA Forklift Operation
OSHA Arial Lift Operation
OSHA First Aid and CAD
OSHA Crane Signal and Hoisting Person
Lift Director (Foreman training)
