Rigging & Lifting
The Regulations for Construction Projects require that an inspection and maintenance program be implemented to ensure that rigging equipment is kept in safe condition. Procedures must ensure that inspection and maintenance have not only been carried out but have been duly recorded.
Rigging operations often involve the use of various tools and devices such as jacks, rollers, hoists, and winches. Each has its own unique features, uses, and requirements for safe operation and maintenance.
The construction regulations also require that the manufacturer's operating instructions for such tools and devices be available on site. The rigger must read and follow all of these instructions to operate and maintain the equipment properly. The rigger must also read any warning information which may be stamped, printed, tagged, or attached to the rigging device.
This section identifies some of the commonly used rigging tools and devices and explains procedures for their safe operation and maintenance.
