Rigging Training Courses
Our Rigging course equips participants with the skills needed to properly rig and secure loads for lifting operations. It covers topics such as load calculations, sling selection, and inspection procedures to ensure safe lifting practices.
The term “rigging” refers to the use of any attachments such as chains, ropes, or slings to lift and move large objects. Rigging must be done properly in order to ensure the safe transport of potentially dangerous loads.
Rigging safety training is a crucial component of any workplace where lifting and moving heavy loads are necessary. Rigging safety training is designed to teach workers about the proper use of equipment, safety procedures, and guidelines for avoiding accidents.
The Importance of Rigging Safety Training
Rigging is essential for securing various materials in order to keep them in place and prevent injury or damage. After a load of materials has been properly rigged, it is ready for hoisting and/or transportation. Improper rigging can result in serious injuries, damages, and loss of the load that has been rigged. Rigging can include various types of equipment, depending on the materials that are being rigged and how they are being lifted or transported. The following are examples of commonly used rigging equipment. Rigging safety training is particularly important in the construction and manufacturing industries, where workers are regularly required to lift and move heavy materials.Examples of Rigging Equipment
- Wire ropes
- Rigging hooks & shackles
- Pulleys & blocks
- Slings
- Eye bolts
- Steel nuts
- Chains
- Turnbuckles
- Spreader bars & lifting beams
