OSHA and ASME require an employer to provide training to their employees on the safe use of rigging and lifting products and working at height. Mazzella has partnered with ITI (Industrial Training International) and can help you fulfill these requirements by offering classes in many subjects, at various durations, customized to meet your company’s training needs.

Classes can be performed at your location, one of our locations, or remotely in a live virtual format. Mazzella and ITI can also help you with many additional training courses from cranes, rigging, lift planning and rigging engineering, including NCCCO Certification.

Mazzella / ITI VR Crane Simulations

VR Crane Simulations

ITI is very excited to introduce a new generation of simulation for crane and rigging activities. ITI’s Virtual Reality Crane and Equipment Training suite was developed in partnership with OEMs (Tadano, Link-Belt, Broderson, Liebherr, and more) to ensure an experience on par with operating the exact machinery each simulation was designed to replicate. Varied scenarios and virtual crane simulation courses offer the range of challenges needed to turn beginners into experts.

  • 9 Unique Crane Types – Built to OEM specs, including, in-cab and Belly Box-operated Overhead Cranes, and more!
  • 1,000+ Scenarios – Focus on specific skills or work your way through one of the pre-made comprehensive lesson plans.
  • Safe Practice – Expose operators to situations too difficult to replicate on an actual crane such as variable weather.
  • Hardware Options – Portable Desktop and immersive Motion-Base platforms are available to meet your team’s needs.

ITI Simulations

Inspection and Technician Training and Assessments

ITI has collaborated with industry partners to develop a robust library of long-form simulation to support training, assessment, and performance support. ITI inspection and technician simulations can be delivered to a VR headset, or standard browser, through the ITI Learning Hub.

Overhead Crane Inspector

This practical assessment allows the learner to put their newly acquired skills and knowledge to use by virtually inspecting an overhead crane. ITI inspection simulations track learner progress, provide remedial feedback, and deliver user results to the ITI Learning Hub.

Overhead Crane Technician

This training simulation and practical assessment allows the learner to put their newly acquired skills and knowledge to use by inspecting and troubleshooting systems and components. Technicians can use a virtual tool kit to replace parts and restore system functionality. ITI inspection simulations track learner progress, provide remedial feedback, and deliver user results to the ITI Learning Hub.

Construction Hazard Identification Training

ITI VR Construction Hazard Training allows learners to experience a working construction site while identifying hazards across 10 risk domains, including Falls, Struck by Object, Electrocutions, and Caught-in/between, the “fatal four” dubbed by OSHA.

Construction Safety

A bundle of simulated training and assessment tools for Construction Safety Professionals to help reduce accidents and increase hazard awareness.
