Rigging and Material Handling Equipment

Rigging, hoisting, signaling, and lifted-load safety topics for material movement on site.

  • Loads should be planned before movement begins, not corrected while suspended.
  • Communication between the operator, signal person, and nearby crews is critical.
  • Hardware condition and load stability can change rapidly during movement.
  • The exclusion zone is part of the lift plan, not an afterthought.
