The Rigging Plan
Proper planning includes:
• Identifying information
• Written description of operation
– FLHA, Pre-Job/Tailgate
• Drawings or sketches
• People involved
• Communication methods
• Load characteristics.
Load Characteristics
• Determine connection used
• Center of gravity (CG) below hook.
Equipment Requirements
• Determine safe working load
• Working load limit (WLL) of sling
• Hardware attachments
• Sling angles between 60 and 90
degrees
• Hoisting devices.
Environmental Factors
• Rigging plan notes unusual
conditions
• Examine surrounding area.
– Identify swing radius and hazard
zones
Inspection Requirements
• When new
• Competent person to inspect
• Qualified rigger
• Inspect each time lift completed
• Don't use if in doubt!
Inspect Wire Rope
• Damage or distortion
• Excessive stretching
• Splicing
• Thimbles
• Length in service.
Inspect Synthetic Webbing
• Burns
• Melting or charring
• Snags, punctures, tears or cuts
• Knots
• Abrasive wear
• Missing, broken or worn stitches
• Check fittings.
Inspect Hardware
Attachments
• Inspect hook
• Inspect shackle
• Replace if damaged
• Shackle pin.
Inspect Assembled
Rigging
• Inspect before lifting
• Match rigging plan
• Sling attached correctly
• Check sling legs
• Pad sharp edges.
Lift Preparation
• Worksite inspection
– Survey swing radius of the load and
ribbon/barricade off hazardous zones
• Lift equipment inspection
– Complete pre-use inspection and remove and tag
any equipment that fails.
• Rigging gear inspection.
– Complete pre-use inspection and remove and tag
any gear that fails inspections
Lifting the Load
• Lift test
• Actual lifting.
Lift Safety
• Common causes of accidents
– Not identifying swing zones
– Not barricading lifting zone
– Not using tag lines
• Safe operating practices.
Sling Care and Use
• Carry slings
• Remove gear from area
• Inspect before and after lift
• Maintenance.
Wire Rope Maintenance
and Storage
• Clean, dry, handled properly
• Kinking
• Bird caging
• Outdoor storage
• Rigging attachments.
Synthetic Webbing
Maintenance
• Wash, hang dry
• Chemicals – do not use degreaser
• Moisture, heat, direct sunlight
• Exposure – sun exposure will damage
webbing
• Keep off floor.
Summary
• Rigging plan – FLHA & PJSM
• Choose right equipment
• Inspect carefully
• Prepare for lift
• Lift test
• Lift safety
• Maintain equipment.
