Rigging 2 is the senior technical rigging role for nonroutine, complex, or high-consequence load handling. The role validates load information and rigging calculations, selects and verifies advanced rigging arrangements, leads pre-lift preparation and communication, and directs load control through final placement. Rigging 2 identifies when engineering, manufacturer, lift-director, or formal critical-lift review is required and mentors less experienced rigging personne

• Lead hazard reviews for nonroutine lifts, including load stability, stored energy, access, obstructions, ground and landing conditions, weather, and simultaneous work.
• Review lift packages, drawings, manufacturer data, and site conditions for load weight, center of gravity, pick points, clearances, landing support, and sequence.
• Determine or validate load weight and center of gravity using approved data or calculation methods; calculate sling-leg tension and load distribution for complex arrangements.
• Select and verify multi-leg systems, spreader or lifting beams, hoists, specialized attachments, and custom lifting devices for condition, compatibility, capacity, and approval.
• Develop and verify rigging arrangements for irregular, offset, fragile, or difficult-access loads within approved limits and protect engineered lifting points from unintended loading.
• Lead pre-lift briefings and plan signal coverage, radio language, handoff points, hold points, stop conditions, and additional signal-person positions when required.
• Direct test lifts, incremental balance corrections, tight-clearance movement, staged holds, controlled…
