Rigging & Hand Signalling Training
Material Handling is a procedure or process where cranes or other
material handling equipment move heavy loads by lifting them to the
desired place.
Although
this
job
looks
easy,
the
rigger (a person that specializes in the lifting and moving of extremely large or heavy objects)
and
the
crane
operator must be aware
that
there are
potential
hazards.
Most accidents occur when:
- Ignorance
of
rigging
&
lifting
procedures
-
Little or no
knowledge
about
rigging
hardware
-
Poor
maintenance
of
the
lifting appliance
To prevent accidents (personal
and
property
damage)
, it is
therefore necessary that all
persons
involved in
the
lifting
process are educated in the basic
concepts
of
lifting,
rigging
and hand
signaling. Very important are the people working under very dangerous circumstances like ships, platforms, swamps and rough terrain. Training
and
coaching
of the
employees working with heavy equipment
is
essential
to
achieve
a
safe
and efficient job result.
