Rigger Basic, Intermediate, and Advance Level Course

Rigging, Lifting & Slinging operations on Oil and Gas, Construction and Engineering sites are carried out worldwide on a daily basis.
Unfortunately, the results when things go wrong can be both dangerous and catastrophic to lives and equipment. This course will enhance the skills of personnel who perform Rigging, Lifting & Slinging activities using Lifting Equipment and Lifting Accessories to the recognized industry standards, including the current Rigging/ Moving Loads Regulations and legislation. This course will promote the best industry practice in Rigging, Slinging & Lifting methodology and Inspection of Equipment and work to the requirements of safe use of lifting equipment. Depending on the client requirements we offer a wide variety of Rigging, Lifting & Slinging courses to suit all levels of experience and knowledge such as Basic Rigging & Lifting, Banks-man-Slinger Training Course Basic, and Intermediate and Advance level courses.

1. Basic Rigger

• Safely uses and recognizes the limitations of chain, synthetic, metal mesh, and wire rope slings as well as specific rigging hardware to include: hooks and similar attaching devices, shackles, wire rope clips, clamps, eyebolts, softeners, and taglines.
• Identifies common load configurations and positioning.
• Demonstrates specific knowledge of crane operations including voice and radio communications (as defined in ASME B30.2, ASME B30.3, ASME B30.5, and ASME B30.6), personal fall protection methods, emergency procedures, and hazards and restrictions with working in proximity to overhead electric lines and equipment.

2. Intermediate Rigger

In addition to being knowledgeable in all Basic Rigger tasks, the Intermediate Rigger must also:
• Demonstrate intermediate level of proficiency in all the rigger tasks.
• Perform specific rigging operations using come-along and chain hoists, reeving, rigging hitches and knots, anchor points, synthetic ropes, wire ropes, chains, spreader bars and equalizing beams, synthetic slings, lifting points, dollies, trollies, winches, bars and levers, rigging jacks, links and rings, plate clamps, and cable dogs/grips.
• Be proficient in load dynamics and load weight estimation or determination as they relate to the rigging operation.
• Calculate equipment capacities, and applies D/d ratios, vectors, angles, boom angles and load radius as they relate to lifting and/or rigging operations

3. Advanced Rigger

In addition to being knowledgeable in all Basic and Intermediate Rigger tasks, the Advanced Rigger must also:
• Demonstrate advanced level of proficiency in all the rigger tasks.
• Perform specific rigging operations as they relate to blind hoists, traveling with a load, working in close quarters, and lift procedure
personnel.
• Apply specific rigging criteria from the manufacturer or equipment representative to the safe and appropriate methods of erection, dismantling, jumping, and reconfiguring of cranes.
• Apply specific rigging criteria for lifting a single load with multiple cranes.
• Identify and interpret load indicator and safety devices, capacity or load charts, specific mechanical advantages, the centre of gravity as it relates to the rigging operation, as well as the effects of angles or indirect pulling in the rigging operation.
• Be proficient in the direction of single, multiple specialized lifts.
• Be knowledgeable and can demonstrate proficiency in the design, documentation, and implementation of lift planning.
