About this ebook

Lifting and rigging are critical skills in industries such as construction, shipping, and manufacturing, where heavy loads must be moved safely and efficiently. This field focuses on the principles of load handling, including selecting the proper equipment, understanding weight capacities, and following safety protocols. Rigging involves setting up the necessary gear, such as slings, ropes, and shackles, to secure and lift loads, while lifting focuses on the operation of cranes, hoists, or other machinery. Proper training ensures workers understand the importance of load balance, center of gravity, and how to avoid overloading equipment.

A comprehensive understanding of lifting and rigging also involves recognizing potential hazards and mitigating risks. Workers learn to conduct pre-lift inspections, identify defective equipment, and follow communication protocols during operations. By adhering to standards and best practices, such as those outlined by OSHA or other regulatory bodies, lifting and rigging tasks can be performed with minimal risk of accidents. Continuous learning and regular practice ensure proficiency, contributing to safer and more effective workplaces.
