Frequently Asked Questions

What Type of Work Requires a Qualified Rigger?

Hoisting activities like hooking, unhooking, connecting, or guiding a load require OSHA-qualified riggers.

These activities are dangerous to anyone unauthorized in the area due to fall hazards, so you must have rigging qualifications and training to be aware of all the associated dangers.

Who Can Be a Qualified Rigger?

Anyone who undergoes rigging training can become a qualified rigger.

An OSHA-qualified rigger is a person who:

Obtained a recognized certificate, degree, or other professional standing
Completed training, has experience and knowledge of OSHA rigging standards
Has the ability to rig loads and solve rigging-related problems successfully

You must have experience and knowledge for the rigging job you desire. A qualified rigger may be prepared for one job but not the other based on their experience.

Does a Certified Operator Also Meet the Requirements of a Qualified Rigger?

A certified operator may not have the qualifications of a rigger, but it will depend on the nature of the job. The operator uses heavy machinery while a rigger prepares loads to be moved by the operator. These jobs are not inherently interchangeable, as they each have their own safety guidelines that you must meet and memorize.

You may find some situations where the certified operator can also function as an OSHA-qualified rigger.
