In keeping with our position of leadership in promoting safety in the entertainment industry, Sapsis Rigging, Inc. has developed a comprehensive seminar program for Schools, Professional Theaters, Corporations and Organizations. This program has been designed to address the ever-changing technology in the entertainment business, keeping current with new standards and materials. We feature a flexible curriculum, taking into account the attendees needs and requirements.

We offer two basic types of seminars: Counterweight Rigging and Arena Rigging.
Some of the topics included in these sessions are:

  • Fall Arrest Systems - Complying with OSHA regulations and staying safe on the job.
  • Hardware - How you choose and then use the right materials.
  • Rope, Cable and Slings - Matching the application to the material.
  • Fittings - Keeping equipment connected safely.
  • Rigging Systems - The operation and maintenance of stage systems.
  • Truss and Chain Hoists -Inspection, maintenance and proper use thereof.

Each session lasts approximately 7 hours, including coffee breaks and an hour lunch break. (It is suggested the host organization provide refreshments for coffee and lunch breaks.)
