Course Overview

A qualified rigger is needed during assembly/disassembly of cranes, when employees are engaged in hooking, unhooking, or guiding the load, or in the initial connection of a load to a component or structure and are within the fall zone. A qualified rigger is defined as a qualified person who, by possession of a recognized degree, certificate or professional standing, or who by extensive knowledge, training and experience, successfully demonstrated the ability to solve/resolve problems relating to rigging.

This course has been organized and developed based on the international applicable standards for Lifting and Rigging (OSHA 1926.1404; 1926.1425). The Course represents the American Health and safety standards and provides Organisations with global presence an internationally recognised health and safety training programme for their staff. The Course provides an excellent technical basic grounding in the main essentials of safe rigging operations for personne.

 Who Should Participate

For all multinational Organisations have rigging operations in their scope of work and need to improve the level of safety implementation during their work and prevent any undesirable accident coming from this kind of operations. The course is designed for qualified Riggers level 2 and HSE Engineers.

Learning Outcomes

In addition to knowing and demonstrating Rigger Level I knowledge and skills, a Certified Rigger Level II can select rigging components and procedures based on rigging capacity. A Level II Rigger can perform the following rigging tasks unsupervised:

• Estimate load weight and center of gravity.
• Identify lift points.
• Determine and select rigging based on loading.
• Perform pre-use inspection of rigging and lift points.
• Identify and attach rigging with knowledge of hitch configurations and load.
• angle factors, rigging capacities, and load integrity.
• Understand load dynamics and associated hazards.

After successfully completing the course, the participants will be better able to explain

• Identification and application of sling types.
• Identification and application of rigging hardware and hooks.
• Identification and application of below-the-hook lifting devices.
• Pre-use inspection and removal criteria of slings and rigging hardware.
• Determination of Load Weight.
• How to identify the working load limits for all slings and rigging gear.
• The effects of sling angle tension created from bridle hitch configurations.
• Load balance and center of gravity.
• Know and understand requirements to keep clear of the load.
• Know and understand dangers of working around energized power lines.
• Know specific regulations required for the rigger.
