Rigging & Lifting Course

This hands-on training is designed to provide participants with the essential knowledge and practical skills required for safe rigging and lifting operations. The course combines theory, demonstrations, and supervised practice to build competency in equipment handling, load calculations, sling application, and communication with crane operators. Participants will also learn to identify hazards, comply with industry safety standards, and perform inspections to minimize accidents in lifting operations.

Certification

At the end of the program, participants who successfully complete both the theory and practical assessments will receive an Emmaida Basic Rigging & Lifting Certificate of Competence. This certification demonstrates compliance with industry standards (OSHA/LOLER/ASME) and equips participants to support safe lifting operations across construction, oil & gas, and industrial environments.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify, inspect, and safely use rigging and lifting equipment (slings, shackles, hooks, spreader bars, chain blocks, etc.).

• Estimate loads and determine the center of gravity.

• Apply sling angles, read load charts, and work within safe working load (SWL) limits.

• Use correct hand signals and communication methods during lifting operations.

• Assist crane operators effectively to ensure safe and coordinated lifting.

• Comply with industry regulations and adopt best practices in rigging and lifting.
