CITCA Rigger Training conforms to ANSI A10.48 standards following job duties. 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 - Recognize associated hazards
- Signal operations
- Use various types of rigging equipment and basic hitches and their
applications
Rigger can perform the following rigging tasks unsupervised
- 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
