Welsh Sound is holding a 1 day intro to entertainment rigging at our warehouse/office in February 22, 2025

See the link for registration . Limited space

Welsh Sound’s Entertainment Rigging 101 will cover the basics of live event rigging. From knots to chain motors and from truss to rigging math, this class will give attendees a chance to understand how to make the best choices for safe and successful events using rigging.
This 8-hour class will be split into 4 hours of classroom training and 4 hours of hands-on. Each topic will be presented by actively working ETCP-certified riggers, the event industry’s internationally recognized Rigging and Power certification program.
Classroom training will cover topics such as: rigging hardware, knots every rigger needs, understanding working load limits, load and beam calculations, selecting proper equipment, working safely, understanding venue engineering, understanding fall arrest needs, and many other topics.
Hands-on training will cover topics such as: setting up and using Prostar and Lodestar chain hoists, assembling and flying truss, understanding the different truss connection methods, setting up ground-supported structures, job site safety and terminology, working with crank towers, and much more.
Attendees need no prior experience with event rigging but should have an understanding of how live events work. No special equipment is required but a pair of work gloves and safety glasses are recommended. Rigging equipment can be oily, so wear clothes that can get dirty. Attendees may lift as much as 50lbs. Almost all training work will be done standing on the ground, but there may be optional opportunities to go as high as 10’ on a ladder.

Prequisite: None
Restrictions: Must be at least 16 years of age
Class Max: 16 people
Class Minimum: 5 people
If the class miniumn is not met for this date, the class will be rescheduled. In that event, the registration fee paid will transfer forward to the new date. See our FAQs for more information.
