How Safe is Your Rigging? Key Standards to Consider

Rigging is the backbone of any lifting operation, where safety and efficiency are paramount.

With risks of inadequate rigging ranging from injuries to equipment damage, ensuring your rigging team adheres to the highest safety and professional standards isn’t just an option – it’s essential.

Key Safety Considerations in Rigging

Understanding Load Dynamics: Knowing the exact weight and centre of gravity of the load is crucial for maintaining stability throughout the operation.
Selecting the Right Equipment: Choosing the appropriate slings and hardware is critical to prevent damage and ensure a secure lift.
Monitoring Conditions: Keeping an eye on sling angles and adapting to environmental changes are vital for safe operations.
Ensuring Competence and Maintenance: Employ an experienced team and enforce routine equipment checks to mitigate risks effectively.
Controlling the Load: Employing techniques such as using tag lines to manage the load’s movement during lifts is essential for smooth operations.

Choose a Crane Company that Prioritises:

Regular Inspections: A robust rigging inspection register ensures that all equipment undergoes thorough checks by competent personnel.
- Follows RGBY system
- Synthetic slings are inspected every three months.
- Lifting chains are reviewed annually.
- Lifting clutches and other gear are load-tested yearly.

Engineer Certification: All lifting devices, like spreader bars, must have up-to-date engineering approvals to safeguard your operations against potential failures.
Detailed Rigging Plans: For complex operations, detailed plans that specify rigging capacities and precise weight allocations are indispensable. This clarity is crucial for the safety and efficiency of the lift.
