Sharrow Training Services
Safety is paramount in the operation of cranes, jibs, and hoists and in the application and usage of rigging/below the hook products. Load securement, cargo control and fall protection are also areas where the right training can prevent injury and economic losses. We offer many options – online, virtual, classroom, and onsite (both with appropriate COVID-19 practices), to meet the needs of our customers. During this time we are focused on providing maximum value with as much flexibility to meet the demands of the current environment as required. While ensuring you meet your internal requirements. Courses may be adapted to include online work at your own pace, vendor supplied rigging instruction, written/practical examinations, hands-on exercises, or individual proficiency instruction.
