What Does OSHA Mean by a Qualified Rigger?

Being a qualified rigger means that you have the ability to properly rig a load for a particular job. What it does not mean is that a rigger must be capable of rigging every type of rigging job. Every load that a rigger deals with have unique aspects that can make the job more or less complex.
