Course Details

Overview

The Lifting and Rigging Safety course is a practical oil and gas HSE training program designed to build applied competence in crane types, rigging equipment, load characteristics, and lift-planning fundamentals, load weight calculation, center of gravity, sling angles, and working load limits, and inspection and proof testing of slings, shackles, hooks, spreader beams, and lifting accessories. It supports safe work execution in drilling, production, processing, refining, petrochemical, industrial, maintenance, and contractor environments.

The program covers crane types, rigging equipment, load characteristics, and lift-planning fundamentals, load weight calculation, center of gravity, sling angles, and working load limits, inspection and proof testing of slings, shackles, hooks, spreader beams, and lifting accessories, crane stability, ground conditions, wind effects, exclusion zones, and electrical line hazards, standard, critical, tandem, blind, offshore, and heavy lift plans, rigging simulations, lift-plan preparation, signal communication, and incident analysis. Participants work through structured procedures, checklists, field scenarios, case studies, practical exercises, simulations, and assessment activities aligned with oil and gas safety practice.

The course is designed for an applied delivery format of approximately 4 training day(s), with a focus on hazard recognition, prevention controls, emergency response, permit discipline, safe work planning, and practical outputs that can be adapted to the participant’s workplace.
