Intermediate Rigging Course

This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely perform intermediate rigging work.

Riggers use mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear to move, place or secure loads, including plant, equipment or members of a building or structure. Riggers ensure the stability of those members and set up and dismantle cranes and hoists.

This unit includes rigging work involving:

• hoist with jibs and self-climbing hoists
• cranes, conveyors, dredges and excavators
• tilt slabs
• demolition of structures or plant
• multiple lifts

Rigging work is undertaken in construction and other industries where load shifting equipment is used to move, place or secure loads.
