How We Handle Rigging Jobs

Rigging operations require careful planning, technical expertise, and strict adherence to safety standards. At every stage, our approach is focused on safety, precision, and efficiency to ensure successful project delivery. Below is an overview of how we handle rigging jobs from planning to execution.

1. Job Assessment and Planning

Every rigging job begins with a detailed site assessment. We evaluate the work environment, load requirements, access points, and potential hazards. This allows us to determine the most suitable rigging method, equipment, and manpower needed for the job.

A clear method statement and lifting plan are prepared before work begins.

2. Risk Assessment and Safety Control

Safety is our top priority. We conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify possible hazards such as working at height, load movement, weather conditions, and equipment limitations. Control measures are put in place to reduce risks, and all safety procedures are communicated to the team.

Toolbox talks are carried out to ensure every team member understands the task and safety expectations.

3. Equipment Inspection and Preparation

All rigging equipment—ropes, slings, shackles, winches, anchors, and lifting devices—is inspected and certified before use. Only approved and well-maintained equipment is used to ensure reliability and compliance with industry standards.

4. Rigging Setup and Installation

The rigging system is installed according to the approved lifting plan. Anchor points are carefully selected and tested, and loads are properly secured using appropriate rigging techniques. Load distribution and redundancy are applied where necessary to enhance safety.

5. Lifting and Load Control

Lifting operations are carried out in a controlled manner under the supervision of experienced riggers. Clear communication is maintained between the rigging team, operators, and supervisors to ensure smooth and coordinated movements.

Load monitoring is used to prevent overloading and maintain stability during lifting.

6. Monitoring and Adjustment

During the operation, the rigging setup is continuously monitored. Adjustments are made when necessary to maintain balance, alignment, and safety. Work is stopped immediately if unsafe conditions are observed.

7. Job Completion and Demobilization

Once the rigging task is completed, the load is safely secured or installed as required. All equipment is carefully removed, inspected, and stored. A final site check is conducted to confirm that the work area is safe and clean.
