📌 ACTI Basic Rigging Training Overview
The ACTI Basic Rigging Training Program is designed to provide workers with the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to perform safe rigging and lifting operations. This training follows the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) standards, ensuring compliance with Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) regulations, CSA standards, and industry best practices.
Participants will learn to identify rigging equipment, calculate load weights, select proper slings, understand lifting angles, inspect rigging gear, and follow best practices for safe lifting operations. The course covers lifting theory, center of gravity, hardware usage, below-the-hook devices, and crane communication.
📌 Course Structure
- Duration: 8 hours (varies based on participant experience).
- Delivery Method: Theory-based presentations, discussions, written exams, and hands-on practical evaluations.
- Assessment: Written exam (minimum 80% pass mark) and practical demonstration of rigging skills.
