Basic Rigging Course (CPCCLRG3001)

Riggers are in charge of the safe movement of plant and equipment around a worksite. Because this is a high-risk activity, it’s important to ensure you are adequately licensed before performing any rigging work.

If you want to work as a rigger, you’ll need to undertake a course with a registered training provider and then apply for your rigging license.

At Kallibr Training (RTO 32365), we place a high priority on safety and expertise in high-risk work. In this section, we will delve into the significance of Basic Rigger Licences in Australia. Discover what these licences entail, why they’re vital, and the invaluable knowledge gained from our Basic Rigger training.

Understanding Basic Rigger Licences: A Basic Rigger Licence allows individuals to safely carry out rigging operations in various industries across Australia. It certifies their competence in assembling, dismantling, and moving heavy loads using appropriate equipment and techniques, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Basic rigging training covers the movement of plant and equipment, steel erections, hoists (including mast climbing hoists), placement of pre-cast concrete, safety nets and static lines, perimeter safety screens and more.

This includes learning how to safely plan out the work, how to select the right equipment and inspect it for suitability.  Basic rigging training is important because of two main reasons:

1. Safety First: Basic Rigger Licences prioritise safety by equipping individuals with the skills to handle heavy loads safely. Rigging training covers risk assessment, proper rigging techniques, and hazard identification, minimising accidents and injuries.
2. Compliance with Regulations: Holding a Basic Rigger Licence ensures compliance with stringent safety regulations. It demonstrates your qualification to perform rigging operations, giving employers confidence in your competence and adherence to industry standards.

Before you undertake the basic rigging training, you’ll need to be over 18 years old and hold a dogging license.
