DAY'S INFORMATION
Let us share important small awareness about Lifting and Rigging
What is the Hazards of Lifting?
Ans: The hazards of Lifting & Rigging:
Mechanical Failure
Poor ground stability
Over turn
Over loaded
Contact with power line
Tandem lifting
Lack of training
Poor supervision
Inadequate maintenance or inspection
Lack of barricading & signage’s
Incompetent rigger & operator
Working under suspended load
No hand signal
No boom angle indicate
Lack of communication rigger & operator
Banks man
High winds
#Who_is_Rigger?
Ans: A rigger is a worker who is responsible for moving heavy material and equipment
around the worksite. When it comes to crane hire they are responsible for setting up
crane equipment and temporary structure so the crane can perform the lift.
#How many types of rigger?
Ans: There is 3 types of rigger:
Rigger level 1 for any tandem and critical lifting above 50 tones
Rigger level 2 weight over 10 tones and less than 50 tones
Rigger level 3 weight is over 10 tones or less requires
Note: Rigger must be:
Rigger must be trained, experienced and hold current third party
certificate
Rigger must be able to determine weight, center of gravity and
characteristic of a load
Rigger must be able to inspect and determine whether associate lifting
equipment is damaged
Rigger must be familiar with different and correct sling techniques
Know correct hand signal
Rigger assets daily equipment and rigging checklist
Barricade the lifting area and signage’s
Rigger check crane and load capacity
Rigger must be maintain lifting SWL procedure
Rigger must be check crane out rigger fully extended
Rigger must be Inspect lifting tools
#Note_to_take: when wind speed are above 32km/h (20mph), the rated load and boom length
shall be reduce
