During Safety LMS s Competent Rigging class, students will review Basic Rigging Principles as well as advanced rigging standards outlined in the ASSE/ANSI Standard. Successful students will meet the criteria to create rigging plans as outlined in the standard.

5 Training Abstract: Subjects Covered: HISTORY OF THE REGULATIONS & STANDARDS STRUCTURAL FAILURES OVERVIEW OF RIGGING PRINCIPLES SLING ANGLE CALCULATIONS BLOCK ANGLE CALCULATIONS CAPSTAN HOIST OPERATIONS CALCULATING RIGGING LOADS DIFFERENT RIGGING PLAN SCENARIOS RIGGING PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROPER EQUIPMENT SELECTION Training Objectives: Understanding different types of Standards and regulations that govern the Telecommunications industry Get an understanding of the equipment and materials involved in majority of the lifts encountered on site Entire course culminates with the ability to write and follow a rigging plan for different types of lifts 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Using Online Regulatory Resources for Tower Project Planning Training by TRC Enviromental Corporation (Attendees must bring laptop computers for this training) Speaker: Jodi Jacobson, TRC Environmental Corporation Co Speaker: Todd Schnakenberg, TRC Environmental Corporation Room: 342 E Training Description: A demonstration and hands-on training on how the FCC TCNS and E-106 systems and various useful environmental desktop review databases work. We will cover who can access these FCC-based systems and how the systems are used. We will cover useful online websites to assist in determining the potential for nearby sensitive environmental resources. Environmental resource tools reviewed will include the USFWS IPaC system used by biologists to identify potential endangered species or wetlands (USFWS National Wetland Inventory) that may be within your project area. We will also demonstrate helpful publicly available historic resource databases to assist in identifying risks in potential tower siting locations. Let the experts walk you through how these systems work.

6 Training Abstract: This training session is designed to assist communication tower project location planning by demonstrating how to use federal and state regulatory databases and online information systems in order to evaluate the potential for nearby presence of cultural, historical and biological resources that are protect by federal, state and local environmental laws. Attendees will be shown various online regulatory databases and information systems, where to access these sites, and how various types of resources located within or adjacent to potential tower locations could affect your project. Online regulatory databases and information systems of the potential impacts that can be used during the tower location planning process will include the FCC Tribal Construction Notification System, E-106 system, USFWS Information and Planning (IPaC), State-level wildlife databases, and publicly available National Register of Historic Places listings and other publicly available databases for historic resources. Upon completion of this training session attendees will have a better grasp on how to identify potential environmental risks that could add financial costs, schedule delays, or impede their projects. Training Objectives: Understanding the FCC Tribal Construction Notification System and E-106 submission systems. Learn what environmental desktop resources are available to assist in siting a project to have minimal delays to schedule or potential impacts to environmental resources. Have tools needed to determine better potential project locations at the outset of project planning rather than finding problems after designs are complete. 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM Hand-on Field Area Networking Training by 4RF (Attendees must bring their laptop computers for this training) Speaker: John Yaldwyn, 4RF USA, Inc Co Speaker: Steve Moffat, 4RF USA, Inc Room: 342 E Training Description: This is a hand-on training session to establish a point-multipoint field area network (FAN) using 4RF supplied equipment. The concepts covered will apply to similar equipment from other vendors. In the time allowed this will be a short form course but will cover the essential components of design, installation, configuration, commissioning, and testing of a small live field area network. This course would benefit those wishing to gain a practical appreciate of radio based FAN technology deployment as well as already experienced engineers seeking to update their knowledge of what is possible with today s radio technology. Training Abstract: This course will cover the essential components of design, installation, configuration, commissioning, and testing of a small live field area network.

7 The application of radio based FAN technology to field applications including both production and pipeline systems will be considered. The design component will cover FCC licencing, interfacing capability, coverage planning, operational efficiencies, and other goals to improve ROI. Finally, the course will introduce commissioning and testing tasks. Training Objectives: Even for those with little previous radio background this session with cover radio system operation and explain how radio based field area networks are used today for petroleum, natural gas, production and pipeline application as well as in other utilities. Understand FAN system design including technical and regulatory considerations. Learn how capacity enables new applications like schedule tracking, line pack, and leak detection. Build and test a small field area network. Each pair of students will get to configure one master and one remote terminal. Installation and configuration will be the primary hands on experience.
