The Importance of Rigging Safety Training

Rigging is essential for securing various materials in order to keep them in place and prevent injury or damage. After a load of materials has been properly rigged, it is ready for hoisting and/or transportation. Improper rigging can result in serious injuries, damages, and loss of the load that has been rigged.

Rigging can include various types of equipment, depending on the materials that are being rigged and how they are being lifted or transported. The following are examples of commonly used rigging equipment. Rigging safety training is particularly important in the construction and manufacturing industries, where workers are regularly required to lift and move heavy materials.

Examples of Rigging Equipment

• Wire ropes

• Rigging hooks & shackles

• Pulleys & blocks

• Slings

• Eye bolts

• Steel nuts

• Chains
