These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 70 topics.
You've read the section on sling tags three times. You close the handbook...
...and you can't remember which fields have to be on the tag. It was just lines of text, one after another.
Here the sling tag is one page, drawn the way you'll see it on the sling: manufacturer, size, material, number of legs and the rated load for each hitch.
And on the pages next to it, every topic gets its own: the wire rope removal criteria, the hook, the choker hitch, the sling angle and the stop signal.
First you understand why it's done that way. Then the order stays with you on its own.
The cards and the rules, rigging hardware, inspection and removal, hitches and rated capacity, load weight and center of gravity, knots, OSHA hand signals, voice and radio, and the final review: 75 pages, all illustrated
Picture this:
Instead of rereading half a page on sling angles without being able to see them...
...you open the page and find the same sling drawn at 60°, 45° and 30°, with the factor written right on it: 1.155, 1.414, 2.000.
And the sling tag, the removal criteria, the hitches, the knots and the hand signals turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.
You stop repeating and start understanding.
That's exactly what Rigger & Signalperson Made Visual does. It's not “just another handbook.” It's 9 parts and 70 illustrated topics, and at the end the look-alike numbers side by side, the signals that get mixed up and every step-by-step method on one page. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.
Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.
What the Rigger Level I and Signalperson exams cover, qualified rigger and qualified signal person under OSHA, 1926.1428, who does what on a lift and recertification every 5 years.
Wire rope construction and lay, wire rope, alloy chain, web and round slings, shackles, eyebolts, hooks, hoist rings, spreader beams and wire rope clips.
What must be legible on the tag, removal criteria for wire rope, chain, synthetic slings, hooks and hardware, heat and chemical limits, and how often to inspect.
Vertical, choker, basket and bridle hitches, the angle factor, low sling angles, D/d ratio, edge protection and the penalties on the practical exam.
Where the load weight comes from, weights of common materials, center of gravity, leg loads with an off-center CG, tag lines, the fall zone and rigging deductions.
The five practical-exam knots, step by step: inside bowline, clove hitch, two half hitches, square knot and sheet bend.
Every OSHA Appendix A hand signal drawn from the operator's view, from hoist and lower to crawler travel, the combined boom-and-load signals side by side, plus non-standard signals under 1926.1419.
Voice signals and their three elements, radio rules, one signal person at a time, loss of communication, blind picks, crane basics, power lines and weather.
The look-alike numbers side by side, the signals that get mixed up, every step-by-step method on one page and the test day checklist.
At the end of the book: The look-alike numbers side by side (broken wires per lay vs. per strand, hook throat opening, heat limits by sling type), the signals that get mixed up and every step-by-step method on one page.
Every standard OSHA Appendix A signal on a card (drawing on the front, name on the back), plus a 30-scenario drill in the style of the on-screen Signalperson practical: see the situation, give the signal.
The path to both cards: registering for the written exams, scheduling the practicals, what to bring, the 12-month window, and recertification every 5 years (Rigger by written exam, Signalperson by practical exam).

For riggers and signal persons in the US who already work on site and are preparing for the Rigger Level I and Signalperson written and practical exams. It's not a beginner's book: it doesn't explain what a sling is. It follows the published exam outlines and the OSHA and ASME rules, and puts each rule on its own page with a drawing. What the candidate handbook and YouTube don't give you: the look-alike numbers side by side, every hand signal drawn from the operator's view, the five knots step by step, all in one PDF you can print and take to the site. Check the table of contents above to see every topic.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC (including 1926.1419–1926.1422, 1926.1425, 1926.1428 and Appendix A), OSHA 1910.184 and 1926.251, ASME B30.9, B30.10, B30.26 and B30.5, the published candidate handbook outlines and manufacturers' published sling and hardware data.
No. It's an independent study guide. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by NCCCO/CCO, OSHA or ASME; those names are used only to say which exams and standards the book covers. It doesn't give you a certification or a card: those come only from passing the written and practical exams with an accredited certifier.
No. It explains the rules, but it doesn't replace hands-on training, a qualified rigger or signal person, or your employer's lift plan. For capacities, the sling tag and the manufacturer's tables and load charts always rule.
No. The 30 scenarios in Hand Signals Flash Cards and Practical Drill are written for this book, in the style of the practical. They're not official exam questions: they're there to train you.
Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF: print the whole book or just the pages you want to take to the site.

You don't have to reread the same page hoping this time it sticks.
You don't have to memorize removal criteria and hand signals you can't picture.
And you definitely don't have to walk into the exam not knowing where to start.
One last thing before you decide: you already know the work. This book just puts the rules in order, one drawing per page, so you can review them after your shift and print the ones you need on site.
