Ted Redmond, president and CEO of NCSG Crane & Heavy Haul Services, Acheson, Alberta, will open the 2015 Crane & Rigging Conference Canada event, which takes place Nov. 9-10 in Edmonton, Alberta.

Setting the tone for sessions to follow, Redmond will discuss how NCSG finds the right people and ensures they are competent; how it establishes hoisting standards and operational practices; and assesses risks, identifies non-conformances, and measures results with performance metrics. These and other topics will be addressed by others during the conference.
