Class Duration: One Day

Topics to be covered:

  1. Center Of Gravity
  2. Safe Rigging Practices
  3. Rigging Components
  4. Technical knowledge
  5. Inspection of Slings and Rigging Hardware

A Level II Rigger can perform the following rigging tasks unsupervised:

  • Estimate load weight and center of gravity
  • Identify lift points
  • Determine and select rigging based on loading
  • Perform pre-use inspection of rigging and lift points
  • Identify and attach rigging with knowledge of hitch configurations and load angle factors, rigging capacities, and load integrity
  • Understand load dynamics and associated hazards

As applicable, Level II Riggers will also have a working knowledge of hoisting equipment, winches, jacks, industrial rollers, and similar equipment.

The prerequisite is Rigger level I.
