COURSE
Participants will also gain an understanding of proper crane types and hand
signals.
Minimum Physical Qualifications
All Riggers shall be:
• Ensure all hands are free of lifting tackle and stand clear before the load
stain is taken.
• Clearly indicate to the crane operator where the load to be moved or placed
and, where possible, he should follow each load to its destination.
• Observe and note other activities within the crane operating area to avoid
the development of any unforeseen hazards. When lifting a load, stop the
load, and check the proper function of the crane’s hoist brakes.
Duties and Responsibilities
• Stop the lifting operation if anything out of the ordinary occurs and check
that is safe to continue the operation.
• Solely direct the lifting and loading activities and operation.
• Use hand signals in accordance with the recommendations of British
Standards BS7121 Part 1-Safe of Cranes, or any applicable standard
What is Rigging ?
• Fittings, sheaves
– Shackles
– Blocks
– Sockets
– Hooks
• May have safety latch
– Eyes
– Turnbuckles
Hazards associated with lifting and Rigging Shall be indentified and
mitigated prior beginning to work
• Safety Shoes
By mixing and varying the above, wire ropes can be produced which are
very flexible, for running around pulleys or making slings.

VERTICAL OR STRAIGHT LIFT
• Total Load that may be lifted is that
marked on the sling.
BASKET HITCH
• The total load that may be lifted when the
included angle does not exceed 90 0 is 1.4 x that
marked on the sling.
• A Basked hitch should only be used when the
sling is passed through part of the load and the
load is balanced on the sling.
SIMPLE CHOCK HITCH
• The total load that may be
lifted is that marked on the
sling X. 0.8

Never Use Overcrowded Hook
Followings to be checked Carefully: Never use the Hook IF:

DYNAMO EYE BOLT
• The dynamo eyebolt is
extremely limited for lifting
purposes.
• They are commonly used
only for axial loading only.

7. OTHER LOOSE GEARS
Chain Blocks - Tirfors and Snatch Blocks
Followings to be considered:
• If a load will be suspended, the working
area should be barricaded.
• Never allow to any person to stand under
the suspended load.
• Never use a Chain Block with faulty brakes.

Tirfor
Safe using of Tirfor ( Wire Rope Grip)/Pull
lifting Machines
• Check the Tirfor and any pulley blocks before use-do not use a defective
machine or block.
• Use only the correct rope for the machine.
• Coil and uncoil the rope carefully to ensure it does not kink.
• Ensure the machine is free to align with the rope is free of any obstructions.
• Ensure that the sheaves of any pulley blocks match the rope.
• Ensure the anchorage points are adequate for the load taking account to the
effect of any pulley blocks.
• Use only the operating lever provided with the machine and do not extend
this with tubes etc. Undue force will damage the machine or cause safety
pins to shear.
• Never use kinked or damaged rope or ropes with broken wires.
• Never operate the raising and lowering levers at the same times.
• Never user grip/pull machines if the rope is twisted or trapped.
• Never use the rope as a sling.
