ETCP has changed the way the industry looks at rigging; the way the industry looks at safety; and the way the industry looks at training…ETCP has raised the level of awareness, and, because of ETCP, you have people clamoring for training and to take the exam. They may have been doing this for the past 20 years, but they’ve been doing it by the seat of their pants. In some cases, they’re not sure if they are right or not, and they’re looking for training and reassurance. That training is raising the bar for everyone.
