OSHA QUALIFIED RIGGER TRAINING
Employers must use qualified riggers during hoisting activities for assembly/disassembly work or whenever workers are within the fall zone and hooking, unhooking or guiding a load, or doing the initial connection of a load to a component or structure. We provide OSHA rigging qualification training by expert trainers to ensure you comply with OSHA guidelines.
Rigger I Qualification
Rigger Level I certification covers simple rigging tasks. The Load weight, center of gravity and rigging configuration are known to the rigger by way of on-the-job training or rigging experience. A qualified rigger should be able to inspect the rigging before each use, have knowledge of hitch configurations and capacities, know common hazards, be able to signal operations, and feel comfortable using several different kinds of rigging equipment and hitches.
Rigger II Qualification—OSHA Advanced Rigging
A Rigger Level II qualification has additional knowledge and skills to those of a certified Rigger Level I. A Level II Rigger is able to select rigging components based on a given rigging capacity. A qualified Rigger Level II should be able to estimate the load weight and configuration, identify lift points, select rigging based on loading, perform inspections, have knowledge of hitch configurations, rigging capacities, and load integrities, and understand hazards as well as the load dynamics. He/she should be able to complete these tasks unsupervised. Rigger Level IIs should also have some working knowledge of other equipment like hoists, winches, jacks, and industrial rollers.
OSHA defines the qualified rigger as “a person who possesses a degree, certificate or professional standing or has extensive knowledge, training, and experience, and can successfully demonstrate the ability to solve problems related to rigging loads.” It is up to the employers to determine whether a person is qualified to perform specific rigging tasks. Usually, this qualification is job or site-specific.
WHO IS A CCO CERTIFIED RIGGER?
Rigger Certification is for the experienced rigger who can demonstrate rigging knowledge related to all types of lifts. A rigger who receives certification through an accredited program, such as the CCO, has demonstrated he/she has the knowledge to perform rigging functions for all lifts (not specific to the site). Employers can be confident they are hiring an experienced rigger with CCO licensing.
A Rigger should be able to demonstrate or have knowledge of the following:
- Pre-use rigging inspection
- Identify and attach rigging with basic knowledge of hitch configurations, capacities, & basic knots
- Recognize associated hazards
- Signaling operations
- Use various types of rigging equipment and basic hitches and their applications
