Slide 1: Critical to Life Activities Rigging.

Rigging is a dangerous activity on all Worksites

Others
Road transportation Work at height Personal Protective Equipment Lifting Trenching and Excavation Scaffolding Electrical safety Confined space Lighting Health and welfare

5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0

Slide 2: Training objectives To give everyone working on site a general awareness about principles of Rigging Enable inspectors to properly identify immediate and potential hazards and prescribe corrective actions Reduce employers liability exposure through training and certification

5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0

Slide 3: History

The earliest rigging was used to : -Raise and lower sails - Lift large blocks in the construction of pyramids.

5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0

Slide 4: Definition

Rigging is the part of the lifting operation which forms the link between the load and the lifting device

5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0

Slide 5: Focus of training Analyzing the load Selecting correct type of rigging gear Selecting correct capacity of rigging gear Selecting rigging gear for correct fit

Ensure TSTI is carried out before each rigging operation

5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0

Slide 6: Why Train

Accident Prevention Rigging Gear Rating based on Breaking Strength

Incorrect rigging can:

Damage the load. Hurt or kill someone

Slide 14: Problems and concerns

What are the major problems and concerns facing riggers and rigging inspectors?

Basic rule: If I observe a hazard, I will stop work and inform my Supervisor

Slide 15: Rigger and Inspector Qualification and Competency

Designated person - A person who is selected or assigned by the employer or the employers representative as being qualified to perform specific duties

Qualified person - A person who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated his ability to solve and resolve problems related to the subject matter and work
Competent person - One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards, and has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them Rigging and rigging gear inspections can only be carried out by Competent Persons Before you do any Rigging check is YOUR name on the Competent Person Rigger list ? 16 5887-ON-RE-HM-012 Rev 0
