Basic Rigging Work

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 Dec 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure (SWP) outlines the guidelines for conducting basic rigging work safely, emphasizing that only licensed riggers (Classes RB, RI, or RA) or trainees supervised by licensed individuals may perform rigging tasks. General safety includes using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), maintaining secure work areas, and implementing fall prevention systems.

The SWP covers detailed instructions for rigging gear inspection, steel erection, hoist setup, pre-cast concrete placement, and the installation of safety nets, static lines, and cantilevered crane-loading platforms. Key processes include inspecting and maintaining rigging equipment, adhering to load limits, and ensuring proper attachment and lifting techniques. Fall prevention and stability measures are critical for all tasks. Specialized operations like tilt-up panel work, multiple crane lifts, and static line installation require specific procedures and verification by competent personnel. Following these guidelines minimizes risks to personnel, property, and equipment.
