What is a Rigger? A rigger’s role is highly important. They are responsible for attaching lifting equipment to loads and moving the load to its intended destination in a safe and controlled manner. Our riggers are highly trained to leading industry standards such as NVQ / OPITO / NPORS / CPCS to carry out complex lifting operations.
Our riggers can navigate heavy / awkward equipment whilst at height. Using our in-house Appointed Person for Lifting Operations our teams can safely plan, manage and supervise lifting operations following a thoroughly risk assessed Lifting Plan. In addition to this, they have a wealth of knowledge and experience about the hazards associated with the job and the difficulties faced when moving loads at height. Our teams are highly experienced learning and plying their trade in sectors such as Offshore Oil and Gas / Renewables / Construction / Heavy Industry
Moving Heavy Equipment A construction site can be a very dangerous place, especially for inexperienced individuals who aren’t properly trained around heavy equipment. One false move could lead to significant injury or possibly death.
Every rigging operation has a method and plan that should be followed to ensure safe working conditions. It is important that all rigging equipment and accessories are installed correctly and rigged properly to the loads and lifting appliances. A Rigging Supervisor will oversee all of our Rigging and Lifting Operations at all times ensuring safety is the utmost priority.
