Rigging is a highly specialized skill set, and we most certainly are not talking about politics or the Olympic games. Rigging involves the preparation of crane equipment, hoists and other machinery that is commonly used on construction sites, shipyards, oilfields, etc., to assist with very heavy lifts. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the construction industry worldwide sees many injuries, fatalities and delays on projects every year due to improper training, faulty equipment and failed rigging. There is a clear way to mitigate this by following some basic rules for rigging.
