2 Course Bundle - Licence to Perform Basic and Intermediate Rigging - Course Information
The Basic and Intermediate Rigging combined course provides you with the skills and knowledge required to safely perform a broad range of basic and intermediate rigging operations across construction, civil, industrial and resources worksites. Building on fundamental rigging skills, you’ll develop the practical capabilities needed to plan and carry out rigging tasks, select and inspect lifting equipment, safely handle and move loads, and erect, dismantle and relocate structures and equipment.
You’ll learn about:
Basic & Intermediate Rigging Techniques: Plan and perform a range of rigging operations using appropriate lifting equipment, rigging systems and techniques.
Structural Rigging: Safely erect, dismantle and relocate structures, plant and equipment, including structural steel and other components.
Lifting Equipment & Rigging Gear: Select, inspect and correctly use a range of slings, chains, wire ropes, lifting beams, spreader bars, shackles, hooks and other rigging equipment.
Load Calculations & Lift Planning: Determine load weights, centre of gravity, lifting points, sling configurations and equipment requirements when planning lifting operations.
Hoisting & Mechanical Advantage: Set up and safely use hoists, winches and associated rigging systems to raise, lower and position loads.
Crane & Lifting Operations: Work effectively with crane operators, doggers, supervisors and other site personnel to coordinate lifting and rigging activities.
Legislation & Compliance: Apply relevant WHS legislation, codes of practice, Australian Standards and workplace procedures to rigging operations.
Hazard Identification & Risk Control: Identify and control hazards associated with suspended loads, lifting operations, structural work and other rigging activities.
Rigging Equipment Inspection: Inspect rigging equipment and lifting accessories for wear, damage, defects and suitability before use, and correctly remove defective equipment from service.
Safe Work Practices: Apply safe work procedures, exclusion zones, communication protocols and control measures when undertaking rigging tasks.
Emergency Procedures: Respond appropriately to equipment failure, unexpected load movement, dropped loads and other incidents that may occur during rigging operations.
Workplace Communication & Reporting: Communicate effectively with crane operators, doggers, supervisors and other workers, and accurately report hazards, incidents and equipment defects.
By the end of the course, you’ll have developed the skills and knowledge to safely undertake a broader range of basic and intermediate rigging operations, including lifting and moving loads, structural rigging, hoisting, and the erection, dismantling and relocation of structures, plant and equipment, in accordance with workplace safety and regulatory requirements.
Course Delivery and Assessment
Due to the high-risk nature of dogging and rigging work, the Licence to Perform Rigging (Basic & Intermediate) combined course is delivered face-to-face over 6 days. You’ll gain hands-on experience in a controlled environment, building both confidence and competence while receiving direct guidance and personalised feedback from experienced trainers throughout the course.
High Risk Work Licences
After successfully completing this course, you can apply for your High Risk Work Licence (HRWL). You have 60 days from course completion to submit your application. HRWLs are valid for five years and can be applied for or renewed online via the WorkSafe QLD or WorkSafe WA websites. If your licence expires, you are no longer recognised as a licensed operator until it is renewed. WorkSafe provides a 12-month grace period for renewal; if this period passes, you will need to resit both the written and practical assessments.
If you are one of our corporate clients, we can apply for the licence on your behalf for an additional fee of $160 (which includes the WorkSafe fee).
Who Should Complete This Course?
This course is ideal for workers who are required to perform basic and intermediate rigging operations as part of their role across construction, civil, mining, resources, industrial and engineering worksites.
It’s suited to individuals looking to build their rigging capabilities and take on a broader range of lifting, structural and equipment-related tasks, including:
Workers developing rigging skills who want to gain both basic and intermediate rigging competencies
Construction and civil workers involved in lifting, structural erection, dismantling and equipment installation
Mining and resources workers undertaking maintenance, shutdowns, heavy lifting and plant-related rigging
Industrial and mechanical workers involved in equipment installation, relocation and maintenance
Structural steel and erection crews involved in lifting, positioning and assembling structures
Workers supporting crane and lifting operations who require basic and intermediate rigging competencies
Experienced workers looking to expand their range of rigging skills and take on more responsibility in lifting and rigging activities
The course is designed for workers who want to build their rigging skills, broaden their capabilities and safely undertake a wider range of lifting and rigging activities in accordance with workplace procedures, safety requirements and licensing requirements.
Course Outcome
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be awarded a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment for:
CPCCLRG3001 – Licence to Perform Rigging (Basic)
CPCCLRG3002 – Licence to Perform Rigging (Intermediate)
These units are nationally recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and contribute to the skills and competencies required for intermediate and advanced rigging work. Successful completion can support your application for the relevant High Risk Work Licence (HRWL) classes, subject to meeting the applicable licensing requirements and assessment processes.
