Rigging & Lifting Training is a practical learning program that teaches workers how to safely prepare, move, lift and position heavy loads using cranes, hoists, slings and other lifting equipment. The training covers the complete process, from selecting the right tools to communicating with lifting teams and carrying out each lift safely.
It builds the skills needed to handle lifting operations in industries like construction, oil & gas, power plants, manufacturing and shipping. The focus is to help workers understand the correct techniques, avoid common mistakes and reduce the risk of accidents.
Lifting operations are one of the most hazardous activities at any worksite. A small mistake, like choosing the wrong sling, improper load balance or unclear communication, can lead to dropped loads, property damage, serious injuries or even fatalities.
Industries rely on riggers and lifting teams to perform precise, planned and controlled operations. Proper training ensures:
Proper Rigging & Lifting training ensures:
With infrastructure projects growing rapidly, the demand for trained riggers and competent lifting teams is higher than ever.
Ken Institute’s Rigging & Lifting Training is designed to meet global industry expectations. The content is developed by experienced safety professionals who have worked across complex lifting environments. The goal is to make the learning simple, practical, and relevant to real work situations.
Our program covers everything from basic lifting principles to advanced rigging scenarios. We explain concepts using clear examples, step-by-step methods and demonstrations. Whether participants are new or experienced, they walk away with the right skills and a strong safety mindset.
Key areas covered include:
Below are the commonly included modules in our training programs. These can be customised based on the client’s project, equipment or team requirements.
We explain complex concepts in a simple way so workers can apply them immediately at their worksite.
The content follows OSHA, ISO and international safe lifting guidelines.
Well-trained riggers help prevent dropped loads, equipment failures and major incidents.
Smooth lifting operations reduce downtime and speed up project activities.
Participants learn how to make safe decisions and handle lifting tasks with better judgment.
Designed for construction, oil & gas, petrochemicals, marine, manufacturing, utilities and engineering organisations.
Beginners and experienced workers both benefit, as the program strengthens technical skills and safety awareness.
They walk away more capable, more aware and better prepared for high-risk lifting tasks.
Ken Institute delivers this training using flexible and effective learning models:
Suitable for theory-based learning. Includes live sessions, recorded videos, assessments and downloadable resources.
Our trainers conduct hands-on rigging demonstrations using your site equipment. This helps workers learn in their real environment with actual tools.
A mix of online theory and on-ground practical sessions. Ideal for large teams or multi-location organisations.
Industries have different lifting needs. We customise content based on crane type, load characteristics, job complexity and worker roles.
