RIGGER SKILLS PROGRAM

Riggers are essential professionals involved in the lifting and moving of heavy machinery and equipment using cranes and specialised rigging equipment. Before handling a load, they calculate the weight of the object and assess the rigging equipment's capability to ensure safe operations. Riggers may work in various environments, including workshops, underground mines, at ground level, or hundreds of meters in the air while erecting or dismantling structures. Their role requires strict adherence to safety protocols and thorough training to mitigate risks associated with heavy lifting.
