Blocking and Cribbing
Roger learned the importance of correctly blocking and cribbing equipment the hard way, but you don’t have to. You may need to block or crib a large variety of equipment under varying conditions. This can make determining the safest way to block or crib for a particular job more challenging than performing more routine safety procedures. However, if you consistently apply general safety principles, such as always confirming that the weight of your load does not exceed the weight capacity of your equipment, and use your own common sense, you can block and crib with minimal risk. This course will teach you general blocking and cribbing safety principles and demonstrate how those principles are applied.
