As of November 8, 2010, Subpart CC requires that signal persons and riggers on job sites must be qualified to do the tasks required of them. So what does that mean exactly? 

To be a qualified signal person, you have to have been evaluated, either by a third party or by an employee’s qualified evaluator, to be competent in the following skills: 

Signal persons must have written proof of their qualifications available on the work-site, per the standards. 
 

Riggers have different requirements. To be a qualified rigger, OSHA requires that he/she:

• possesses a recognized degree, certificate, or professional standing, or
• has extensive knowledge, training, and experience, and
• can successfully demonstrate the ability to solve problems related to rigging loads. (OSHA Fact Sheet: Qualified Rigger)

No documentation is currently required of riggers, but it never hurts to have it anyway.
