Rigging and slinging, sometimes also referred to as hoisting, is an important step in the manoeuvring of heavy objects in many workplaces. It is most common to see rigging done on construction sites, or out at sea on cargo ships. Sometimes it is impossible to move an object through other means, so it becomes necessary to employ the services of a rigger. While this can be done on land or while out at sea, it is essential that whoever is undertaking the task of rigging and slinging knows how to do so safely, so that they are not put at risk, and so that those around them are not exposed to danger. Safe rigging is important because there are many variables that are at play while a rigger attempts to hoist a large object. Rigging is not a task that should be completed in a hurry. It requires knowledge, mathematical precision, and determination.

While it is necessary to do hands-on rigging and slinging training, it can be very beneficial to educate yourself through other means. As mentioned earlier, being an experienced rigger can be very important when it comes to managing safety on a worksite. However, this experience can only come with time and exposure. The best way to ensure that you keep yourself and others safe when starting out is to increase that exposure in any way possible.
