Advanced Rigging Techniques

This course is designed for individuals new to rigging or those seeking a foundational understanding of advanced rigging principles. It's ideal for workers in construction and industrial settings who need to plan and execute safe, efficient lifts. No prior rigging experience is explicitly required, as it builds essential knowledge from the ground up.

You will learn to select appropriate rigging hardware, calculate multi-part line systems for safe working loads, and analyze center-of-gravity for stable operations. The course also covers developing comprehensive lift plans and evaluating various rigging configurations to reduce jobsite risk. These skills are crucial for making sound decisions on the jobsite.

This course prepares learners for roles in operations and manufacturing that involve planning and executing lifting operations. The skills gained are directly applicable to positions in construction, industrial maintenance, and other fields where safe and efficient material handling is critical. It helps workers make sound decisions and reduce risk on the jobsite.

The course is structured for flexible, self-paced learning, allowing you to progress through the material at your own convenience. The time required to complete the course will vary based on your individual study habits and prior knowledge. Focus is placed on mastering the techniques rather than a fixed schedule.

While titled "Advanced Rigging Techniques," the course is designed for a beginner level, meaning no specific prior rigging experience is required. It provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles needed to plan and execute safe lifts. Learners should be prepared to engage with technical calculations and practical planning concepts.

The course covers essential calculations such as multi-part line systems to determine safe working loads and mechanical advantage. You will also learn to analyze center-of-gravity locations for stable lifts and understand hoist and drum calculations. These skills are crucial for making informed decisions on the jobsite.
