UNIT TITLE Licence to perform rigging basic level

APPLICATION The unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to perform basic rigging work safely. Rigging work means:  the use of mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear: o to move, place or secure a load consisting of building materials, plant or equipment o to ensure the stability of the members of a building or structure

 the setting up or dismantling of cranes or hoists

It includes dogging work.

This unit applies to the activities of a person performing rigging work involving any of the following:

 structural steel  precast concrete members of a structure  debris nets and static lines  mast climbing work platforms  perimeter safety screens and shutters  cantilevered crane loading platforms. This unit includes planning the task, inspecting equipment, safely setting up a rigging task and safely erecting structures and plant, and safely dismantling structures and plant. Rigging work is undertaken in a range of industries where load shifting equipment and associated gear is used to move, place or secure a load. A person performing this work must hold a Dogging and Basic Rigging High Risk Work Licences. This unit is based on the licensing requirements of the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations Part 4.5 High Risk Work and meets Commonwealth, state and territory high risk work licensing requirements.
