Description
This course focuses on the safe rigging and lifting of loads using cranes and hoists, emphasizing critical knowledge and practices to ensure workplace safety. Participants will learn the importance of selecting the appropriate hoist, understanding weight capacities, and securing loads properly. The course covers essential safety checks, including inspecting chains and ropes for chinks, addressing sharp edges on loads, and double-checking both lift capacity and load weight. Emphasis is placed on proper lifting techniques, avoiding overloading, using separate slings, maintaining centered loads, and executing smooth, controlled movements to prevent accidents during lifting operations. Develop an understanding of the critical requirements for safe rigging and lifting, including selecting the appropriate hoist, assessing weight capacities, and ensuring proper load security. Acquire knowledge of essential safety checks, such as inspecting chains and ropes for chinks, addressing sharp edges on loads, and double-checking lift capacity and load weight to prevent compromising lifting operations. Master proper lifting techniques, including centering loads, using separate slings, avoiding overloading, and executing smooth, controlled movements to enhance workplace safety during lifting operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chains and ropes should be checked for chinks, and any load with sharp edges needs extra attention before it's rigged for a lift.
Lift capacity and load weight are both double-checked against each other, since choosing a hoist without confirming both invites overloading.
Separate slings help keep a load centered and balanced, which supports the smooth, controlled movement the course treats as essential to preventing accidents.
Movements should be smooth and controlled rather than jerky, since sudden motion during a lift is where many rigging accidents originate.
Selecting the appropriate hoist for the job comes first, based on its weight capacity relative to the load being moved.
