From basic "big-picture overview" to advanced mechanics and rope technique.
Advanced Mechanics and Rope Management Training
This is about optimizing yours or your crew's productivity on several levels. Proper body mechanics saves backs and hands, and reduces the chance of a fall. These enhancements alone save money for the business owner and individual rigger. When one considers the need for medical attention to correct physiological issues caused by poor technique, the savings become huge. Throw in the increased costs of worker's compensation and state labor insurance premiums that rise with increased injury claims and my advanced training becomes invaluable. Additionally, as riggers grow through the process of being rope pulling monkeys to thinkers and planners, they need guidance on where to focus technical attention so that effort is not needlessly spent on math and standards that are not going to yield any monetary benefit for either them or their employers.
For Performers, Managers and Producers
The liability big-picture is often too much to maintain a conscious foothold on while producing, negotiating and developing a performance. Utilizing a dedicated professional rigger, such as myself, to navigate these treacherous waters is the smart approach. Learning how to impliment a rigger's services into your business cost estimates isn't that tricky.
A dedicated, ETCP certified rigger should be able to competently offer the following:
1. Produce a detailed, to scale rigging plot with key.
2. Specify equipment that will preform well and minimize costs, including labor billing.
3. Specify electrical needs.
4. Verify load capacities and produce a venue to event plot overlay.
5. Effectively layout floor and organize the rigging equipment and crew in a manner to optimize labor billing with formost attention to safe operating procedures.
6. Effectively run a rigging crew, in addition to supporting the other related departments as their rigging needs develop.
7. Develop, document and execute a Liability Management Plan (LMP) for their Client's production/event.
