Half-Day Training

Practical half-day certification program focused on operational safety, compliance confidence, and site-level risk control.

Program Overview

Rigging and signalling are two of the most critical safety-sensitive roles in any lifting operation. The rigger who selects and attaches the sling, assesses the load, and communicates with the crane operator literally holds human lives in their hands. A wrong hitch, an overloaded sling, or a misunderstood signal can result in a dropped load, a crane overturn, or a fatal crushing incident. ICLM's Rigging and Signalling Training develops technically competent, safety-focused riggers and signal persons who bring professionalism and precision to every lift.

No lifting operation is safer than its weakest link — and in most operations, that link is the rigging. Even the most capable crane operator cannot compensate for an improperly slung load, an overloaded sling, or a signal person who does not know the correct hand signals. Rigging and signalling failures account for a significant proportion of all lifting-related fatalities. ICLM's training closes this critical skills gap.

Pre-Use Checks

Daily inspection discipline and hazard spotting basics.

Control Principles

Safe methods, sequencing, and decision making in operations.

Emergency Response

Incident communication and immediate response actions.

Core Learning Modules

Module 01

Rigging Fundamentals: Forces in rigging — tension, compression, shear, and the effect of sling angle on sling load.

Module 02

Types of Slings: Wire rope slings, chain slings, synthetic web slings, and roundslings: construction, identification.

Module 03

Sling Hitches: Vertical (single), basket, and choker hitches — load capacities, use cases, and limitations of each.

Module 04

Hardware Inspection: Shackles, hooks, swivels, eyebolts, turnbuckles, and master links — pre-use inspection and discard criteria.
