Basic Rigging and Slinging Training

The Rigging & Slinging Training Course is basically designed to provide personnel with essential knowledge and practical understanding of safe lifting operations in industrial and construction environments. Rigging and slinging course focuses on the correct procedures for selecting, inspecting, and using lifting equipment to ensure the safety of operators, material, site personnel, and the general public. This course is ideal for individuals involved in lifting, hoisting, and material-handling activities where improper rigging can lead to serious accidents and equipment damage.

This training familiarizes participants with various types of rigging and slinging equipments, their applications, and the relevant legalities involved in governing their use. Special emphasis is placed on planning and executing lifting operations safely, in line with industry best practices and site safety requirements.

Course Overview

Participants will gain a clear understanding of their duties and responsibilities during lifting operations, including coordination with crane operators and supervisors. The course explains the parts and components involved in lifting, such as slings, shackles, hooks, eyebolts, and lifting beams, along with their correct usage and limitations.

A strong focus is placed on lifting planning, ensuring loads are assessed correctly and suitable equipment is selected. The Learners will be trained in inspection and certification requirements, enabling them to identify defects in the lifting gear and ensure that the lifting gear is fit for use before every operation.

The course also covers terminologies and nomenclature commonly used in rigging and slinging, helping participants communicate effectively on site. Different mode factors and hitches are explained during the course to show how load configurations affect lifting capacity and safety.

Key Safety Topics

Critical safety elements such as hand signals, pinch points, and working at heights are addressed to reduce the risk of injury. In this course the participants will learn safe work practices, including essential do’s and don’ts, supported by real examples of bad practices observed on site.

The training outlines the steps involved in lifting operations, from preparation and execution to completion. It also explains factors affecting the rated capacity of cranes and lifting operations, such as load weight, radius, environmental conditions, and equipment condition.

Who Should Attend

This course is suitable and ideal for riggers, slingers, lifting supervisors, crane operators, and any personnel involved in lifting operations. On successful completion, participants will be better equipped to perform lifting tasks safely, efficiently, and in compliance with applicable safety regulations.
