Description

Welcome to CPCCLRG4001 Licence to Perform Rigging Advanced Level Training Course. This is a RA High Risk Work Licence.

This Queensland-based training course specifies the outcomes needed to perform intermediate rigging tasks associated with moving plant and equipment, steel construction, hoists including mast climbing hoists, placement of pre-cast cement, safety nets, static lines, perimeter safety shutters and screens, and safety nets.

After completing the learning activities successfully, the trainer and assessor will assess participants to determine if they are ready for their licencing exam, to be conducted by the High Risk Work (HRW) Assessor

Riggers use mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear to move, place or secure loads, including plant, equipment or members of a building or structure. Riggers ensure the stability of those members and set up and dismantle cranes and hoists. 

This training course applies to rigging work involving:

• Gin poles and shear legs.

• Flying foxes and cable ways.

• Guyed derricks and structures.

• Suspended scaffolds and fabricated hung scaffolds.

Participants will be trained in the following areas of knowledge and skills in relation to intermediate rigging:

1. Planning tasks

2. Select and inspect rigging equipment

3. Set up of tasks including correct communication and consultation

4. Undertaking intermediate rigging activities

5. Completing tasks.

Background - What Sets Advanced Level Rigging Apart From Standard Techniques in Queensland?

Rigging is the process of using ropes, cables, or chains to secure and support heavy equipment or materials during lifting operations. 

The purpose of rigging is to ensure the safety of both the load being lifted and the personnel involved in the operation. 

It is necessary to follow proper rigging techniques to prevent accidents and damage to equipment.

Standard Rigging Techniques

Rigging involves a variety of standard techniques such as utilising the appropriate types of slings and hardware, calculating load weights, determining the centre of gravity of the load, and selecting the right rigging configuration for the specific lift. These techniques are necessary for ensuring the stability and safety of the load during lifting.

Understanding standard rigging techniques is crucial for anyone involved in lifting operations. It not only ensures the safety of the personnel and equipment but also contributes to the efficiency and success of the lift. 

Rigging at an advanced level demands rigorous adherence to safety protocols to mitigate risks for both the workers and the valuable equipment being handled. 

This includes comprehensive planning, regular equipment inspections, and continuous monitoring of the rigging operation to ensure a safe working environment.

Plus, in-depth knowledge of load capacities, environmental factors, and potential hazards allows advanced riggers to anticipate challenges and proactively address them to prevent accidents and ensure smooth operations.

Anyone performing construction work must also complete the general construction induction program specified by regulators on a State as well as Federal Government level. This requirement is met by completing CPCCWHS1001 Prepare for work in the construction industry and holding a White Card.

This unit requires a prerequisite. This requirement can be met either by successfully completing the unit CPCCLRG3002 Licence to perform rigging intermediate level (this means that you will have previously also completed a dogging course and a basic rigging course CPCCLRG3001). 

Completing this unit is not sufficient to obtain a licence. After competence is assessed under WorkSafe Queensland (WHS) Regulations, a licence can be applied for through the Queensland Government High-Risk Work Licence Service.

It is necessary to familiarise oneself with the different types of rigging hardware used in lifting and moving heavy loads safely. 

Understanding how to select the right hardware for the job based on load requirements and environmental factors is paramount. Perceiving the distinctions between hardware types is vital for ensuring the success and safety of rigging operations.

Rigger licences needed in Queensland

1. Basic Rigging Work (RB).
2. Intermediate rigging work (RI).
3. Advanced Rigging Work (RA).

If you are in the lift or escalator business in Queensland, it may be necessary to have a Rigger's or Dogger's licence.

What will you learn?

1. Review task instructions, consult with relevant persons to seek clarification as required, and obtain relevant workplace information. 

2. Obtain and interpret information, including safe work method statements (SWMSs), required to ensure that activities are performed in compliance with workplace-specific and safe work requirements. 

3. Obtain and interpret information required to ensure that equipment inspection, use, maintenance and storage complies with manufacturer requirements. 

4. Identify workplace and task-specific hazards and determine required risk controls and safety measures and equipment, including signs and barricades, personal protective equipment (PPE), and fall prevention and fall arrest equipment. 

5. Identify methods of moving and placing tools, equipment and materials to minimise the risk of falling objects, to avoid inappropriate carrying on ladders and to minimise hazardous manual tasks. 

6. Identify required rigging equipment and associated gear. 

7. Calculate loads associated with mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear required to erect and dismantle structures and plant.

8. Select and check PPE.

9. Select rigging equipment and associated gear, inspect for defects, and isolate, tag out, report and record defective items.

10. Select communication equipment and check that it is working and fit for use.

11. Establish and maintain communication with relevant persons to ensure task plan and risk controls are communicated clearly, including any impact on other workplace activities.

12. Ensure risk controls and safety measures and equipment have been put in place, including the fitting, adjusting and anchoring of fall protection equipment.

13. Consult with relevant persons to ensure that ground and foundation have been assessed as suitable for task.

14. Consult with relevant persons to ensure that the structure has been assessed as suitable for load bearing task.

15. Erect, operate and dismantle all structures and plant while maintaining stability, in accordance with workplace and manufacturer requirements.

Upon successful completion of this course, student will be awarded a Statement of Attainment and the High-Risk Work Licence to Perform Rigging Basic Level by WorkSafe Queensland.
