CITCA Crane Rigger Training conforms to OSHA 1926.1419- 1926.1422 standards
designed for operators and ground workers. A Qualified Rigger can perform simple,
repetitive rigging tasks when the load weight, center of gravity, the rigging, and rigging
configuration are provided or known by the rigger through experience or on-the-job
training prior to the rigging activities. Rigger can select rigging components and
procedures based on rigging capacity. Riggers will be able to demonstrate or have
knowledge of how to:
- Inspect rigging before use
- Identify and attach rigging with basic knowledge of hitch configurations,
capacities, and basic knots - Crane characteristics and limitations
- Recognize associated hazards
- Signal operations
- Use various types of rigging equipment and basic hitches and their
applications - Estimate load weight and center of gravity
- Identify lift points
- Determine and select rigging based on loading
- Perform pre-use inspection of rigging and lift points
- Identify and attach rigging with knowledge of hitch configurations and load
angle factors, rigging capacities, and load integrity - Understand load dynamics and associated hazards
Rigger can perform the following rigging tasks unsupervised
