Establish a set of guidelines which will ensure
safe working practices regarding rigging
practices.
Introduction
The ability to safely move
materials from one location to
another.
Hoists are often used when
materials are too heavy or
bulky to be safely moved
manually.
Hoists rely upon slings to hold
their suspended loads, slings
are the most commonly used
material handling apparatus.

Definition of Terms
Center of Gravity
The point on a body at which
the weight is distributed
equally in every direction.
Certified
An individual who is officially
recognized as possessing a
certain qualifications or
meeting certain standards.
Crane
An equipment used to lift and
move very heavy materials.
Crane Block & Tackle
A moveable pulley that is used
to raise and lower loads.
Crane Hook

with a forged opening at one
end with or without a latch.
Qualified
An individual that meet the
proper standards and
requirements and training for
to perform a specified
functions and skills.
Rigger/Signal Person
A person who attaches and
detaches loads or loose gear
to lifting devices.
Rigger Levels:

Level 2 - 1-60 tons
Level 1 - NO LIMIT
Rigging
The process of lifting and
moving heavy loads with
ropes, chain and mechanical
devices.
Shackle
A U-shaped piece of metal that
is closed at the end with a pin
or bolt.
Lifting Slings
A loop of materials, which
connects the load to the H&C
lifting device.
Safe Working Load
The maximum load that the
rope is to carry.
Tag Line
A rope attached to a cargo or
container that control and
minimize movement during
lifting operations.
Thimble Eye
A piece of hardware used to
reinforce the loop in an eye
splice to protect the wire
rope from damage.
Whip Line (Auxiliary Hoist)
The secondary rope capable
of lifting a lower capacity
than the main block.
Wire Rope Sling
It is constructed of multiple
strands of wire that are 3. &C
twisted and braided together
to form a spiral design.

Pre- Shift Visual
Inspection of Crane
Cranes in steel erection
activities shall be visually
inspected before each shift by a
competent person.
1. All control mechanisms
2. Control & drive mechanism
3. Safety devices
4. Air, hydraulic & pressurized lines
5. Hooks and latches
6. Wire ropes
7. Electrical apparatus
8. Hydraulic system fluid
9. Tires
10. Ground conditions
11. The hoisting equipment for level
position
If the deficiency is identified,
determine if it is a hazard.
If it is a hazard, the hoisting
equipment shall be removed from
service until the deficiency has been
corrected.
The operator have the authority to
stop and refuse to handle loads until
the problem has been solved.
A qualified rigger shall inspect
the rigging before each shift.
The headache ball, hook or load
shall not be used to transport
personnel.
Cranes or derricks may be used
to hoist employees on a
personnel platform.
Safety latches on hooks shall not
deactivated or made inoperable.
• Add Picture
Working Under Loads
For suspended loads shall be
pre-planned, to ensure that no
employee will be working below a
suspended load.
When working under suspended loads:
a. Materials being hoisted shall be rigged to prevent
unintentional displacement.
b. Hooks with safety latches shall prevent from slipping
out of the hook.
c. All loads shall be rigged by a qualified rigger.
• Add Picture
Multiple Lift
Rigging Procedures
A multiple lift rigging assembly to used.
A maximum of 5 members are hoisted
per lift.
Only beams & similar structural
members are lifted.
All employees engaged in the multiple
lift have been trained in these
procedures.
No crane is permitted to be used for
multiple lift, that contradicts the
manufacturer's specifications and
limitations.
• Add Picture
Signals General Requirements
The load travel or near area or
load placement, is not full view
of the operator.
When the equipment is
traveling in the direction is
obstructed.
Due to site safety concerns, the
operator or the person handling
the load determines that it is
necessary.
• Add Picture
Types of Signals
Signals to operators must be by
hand, voice, audible or new
signals.
Hand signals
a. The standard must be used in using hand signals.
b. When using non-standard hand signals, the signal
person, operator, and supervisor must agree what
will be used.
c. The new signals where the employer will
demonstrate the hand, voice, audible, or new in
transmitting to the operator.
The transmitting operator by
direct line of sight, radio, etc.
must be appropriate for site
conditions.
The transmit signals between
the operator & signal person
must be maintained.
Any interruption, the operator
must safely stop operations,
until proper signal is given and
understood.
If the operator sees a safety
problem he will communicate to
the rigger/signal person.
Operations must not resume
until the operator & signal
person agree, until the problem
has been resolved.
Only one person may give
signals to a crane/derrick at a
time.

Signal Person Qualifications
1. Option (1)
Third party qualified evaluator. Showing
that the signal person meets
qualification requirements.
2. Option (2) Technischer Überwachungs-Verein
Employer's qualified evaluator, assesses
the individual & determines meets the
qualification requirements.
3. The employer must make the
documentation for whichever
used at the site while the signal
person.
The documentation must
specify each type of signaling
(ex. hand signals, radio signals, etc.) for
which the signal person meets
the requirements.
If the signal person does not
meet the qualification
requirements, the employer
must not allow to continue
working until re-training and
re-assessment is made.
• Add Picture
Signal Person
Qualification Requirements
1. Know & understand the type of
standard method for hand signals used.
2. Be competent in the application of the
type of signals used.
3. Have a basic understanding of
equipment operation & limitations,
including the swinging and stopping
loads and boom deflection.
4. Know and understand the relevant
requirements.
5. Demonstrate the person meets the
requirements through oral, written and
practical tests.

Guidelines for Tag Lines
Purpose of tag lines:
Keep out of harm’s when guiding a
suspended load into position.
Put distance between yourself and the
load in the event the load moves
unexpectedly.
Keep the load square and away from the
crane boom during lifting operations.
Stabilizes the load and prevents rotation
and swinging out of control.
To avoid collisions and stabilize load.
Tag lines should:
Be made of a fiber material and non-
conductive.
Be long enough to reach the ground from
the highest point of the lift.
Be free of knots or defects in the rope (NO
spliced together ropes).
Be larger than ¼” diameter – a large rope is
easier to hold on.
When moving or directing tag
lines:
Never loop the line around your hand, arm,
feet or body.
Always wear gloves (rope burns, better grip,
etc.)
Make sure YOUR travel path is clear (you
will be watching the load, rather than
where you are going)
Release the tagline to avoid becoming
trapped or pinched.

motion.
Lower
With arm extended downward,
forefinger pointing down
rotating in circular motion.
.
Use Main Hoist
Tap fist on top of head. Then
use regular signal.
Swing
Arm extended, point finger in
direction the swing of boom.
.
Stop
Extend one arm move arm back
and forth horizontally.
.
Use Whip Line (Auxiliary Hoist)
Tap one elbow with one hand

Raise Boom
Arm extended fingers closed,
thumb pointing upward.
Lower Boom
Arm extended fingers closed,
thumb pointing downward.
Dog Everything
Cease all activity. Clasp both
hands in front of the body.
Move Slowly
Use one hand, to give any
motion signal and place other
hand motionless in front of the
hand, giving the motion signal.
Extend Boom
Both fists in front of the both
with thumbs point outward.
One hand maybe used.
Retract Boom
Both fists in front of the both
with thumbs point towards
each other.
One hand maybe used.

up, fingers close, open
continuously.
Lower Boom & Raise Load
Arm extended, thumb pointing
downward, fingers close, open
continuously.
