Preparation Summary
Rigger II preparation focuses on routine lifting support, selecting and checking rigging equipment, understanding sling angle, controlling the load and communicating with the lifting team.
Reference Focus
Saudi Aramco-related revision should consider CSM lifting controls and GI 7.029 rigging hardware expectations, plus the rigger category structure referred to in GI 7.027 and related lifting procedures.
Learning Outcomes
- Inspect slings, shackles and below-the-hook accessories before use
- Understand how sling angle affects tension
- Use tag lines and communication to control load movement
- Recognise damaged rigging equipment and remove it from use
Revision Topics
- Sling types and hitches
- Sling angle and tension
- Rigging hardware inspection
- Load control and tag lines
- Hand signals, radio communication and exclusion zones
Exam-Style Practice Questions
- Why does sling tension increase as the sling angle becomes smaller?
- What visible defects require lifting gear to be removed from service?
- Why should a tag line be used and when could it create additional risk?
- What should the rigger do if communication with the operator is unclear?
