What is the primary responsibility of a Rigger Level 2?

The primary responsibility of a Rigger Level 2 is to ensure the safe and proper rigging of loads for lifting operations. This entails selecting the appropriate rigging equipment, determining the correct rigging techniques, and assessing load characteristics to ensure that the rigging process is executed safely and efficiently. A Rigger Level 2 must have a deep understanding of the rigging process, including how to inspect rigging gear, understand load dynamics, and adhere to safety regulations and protocols. This focus on safety and proper rigging techniques is crucial to prevent accidents and ensure that loads are lifted without risk to personnel, equipment, or the load itself.

While coordinating lifting operations, strategizing load placement, and monitoring crane operations are also important tasks often conducted during lifting operations, they are usually responsibilities delegated to roles such as a designated lift director or crane operator. The Rigger Level 2's primary focus is specifically on the rigging aspect of the operation, making the assurance of safe rigging practices their main responsibility.
