Rigger I preparation is aimed at advanced lifting knowledge where the learner must understand lift planning, load weight, centre of gravity, crane capacity factors, critical lift controls and coordination with the lifting team.
Saudi Aramco-related study should pay attention to CSM lifting requirements and GI references commonly linked to rigging and lifting, including GI 7.027 rigger categories, GI 7.028 crane lift types/procedures, GI 7.029 rigging hardware and GI 7.030 lifting equipment inspection.
Learning Outcomes
- Review lift plan information and lifting team responsibilities
- Understand load weight, centre of gravity and sling angle effects
- Recognise critical lift issues and when engineering review is needed
- Understand communication, exclusion zones and stop-work triggers
Revision Topics
- Lift planning and lifting team roles
- Crane radius and capacity basics
- Rigging configuration and hardware selection
- Critical lift controls and approvals
- Communication, exclusion zones and suspended load control
Exam-Style Practice Questions
- What information should be confirmed before a complex lift starts?
- Why can a change in radius affect crane lifting capacity?
- What should be done if the load weight or centre of gravity is uncertain?
- When should lifting work be stopped and reassessed?
Study Note
These are original revision prompts for learning and confidence building. They are not copied official examination papers. Learners must follow the latest official client, employer and approved test-centre requirements that apply to their worksite.
