Testimonials

As the media reminds us of the high rates of accidents occurring to operators and riggers, we at Cianbro Companies strive to provide our employees with the skills and knowledge of how to prevent an accident. In the past our company has received Master Rigging Training from Industrial Training International. They offer a hands-on approach by providing rigging gear inspection, proper rigging procedures and load control using almost any vertical or horizontal rigging system. The classroom teaching techniques and hands-on learning exercises that we have received from the Industrial Training International group has guided our company in creating our own successful in house rigging training program. The Industrial Training International crew and facilities are truly a world class group, solely dedicated to educating and improving the crane and rigging world.

The late George Arsenault, Rigging Training Coordinator, Cianbro Companies - December 8, 2008

After attending ITI’s Master Rigger training course back in 2006 we knew that the Boilermakers had found the absolute direction in which we should take our rigging training - hands-on, action-packed, and engaging.

ITI has since trained-up dozens of Boilermakers, is assisting in the implementation and design of the Local 146 Training Centre, and we are utilizing ITI’s rigging training program - tailoring it specifically for Boilermaker-related rigging.

We anticipate using ITI’s program for years to come for our members across Canada.

Grant Jacobs, Director of National Training, Boilermakers National Training Trust Fund, Edmonton, Alberta

Darwin Leitch, Construction Manager for the Rigging, Fitting & Mechanical Training Facility, Boilermakers Local 146, Edmonton, Alberta

The Master Rigger course is the best course I’ve taken yet in crane and rigging fundamentals. Jim Cox, ITI’s Instructor for the course, was as good as it gets for teaching this material. I’m looking forward to my next course at ITI.
