Rigger  Duties and Responsibilities

Ensure that both the rigger and Crane Operator is familiar with the method of signaling to be used
 
Always use clear and distinct signals (either by hand or radio) to control lifting operations. In poor light conditions
all hand signals shall be exaggerated
 
Be aware of the wind speed and direction
 
Ensure that NO load is to be lifted where the weight is not stated or unknown
 
Be familiar with the lifting capabilities of the crane
 
Check that the lifting equipment being used is in good condition, certified for use correctly color coded, and of
sufficient capacity to carry out the lift
 
Ensure Taglines are always attached to loads that are likely to swing

Be aware of any obstructions within the crane radius and working area
 
Check that the area around the load to be lifted is clear and that the load is not attached to the floor, transportation cradle
or adjacent equipment
 
Ensure that the escape route is identified
 
No personnel are below the load whilst lifting is in progress
 
Ensure all hands are free of lifting tackle and stand clear before the load strain is taken

Clearly indicate to the Crane Operator where the load has to be moved/ placed and, where possible, he should
follow each load to its destination
 
Warn other personnel in the area of the movement of the load

Observe & note other activities within the crane operating area to avoid the development of any unforeseen
hazards.

When lifting a load, stop the load just clear of the ground to check security and balance of the load, and check the
proper function of the crane hoist brakes
 
Stop the lifting operation if anything out of the ordinary occurs and check that it is safe to continue the operation

Solely direct the lifting and loading activities and operation.
