This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to safely perform basic rigging work.
Riggers use mechanical load shifting equipment and associated gear to move, place or secure loads, including plant, equipment or members of a structure. Riggers ensure the stability of those members and set up and dismantle hoists.
This unit applies to rigging work involving:
- structural steel erection
- hoists
- pre-cast concrete members of a structure
- safety nets and static lines
- mast climbing work platforms
- perimeter safety screens and shutters
- cantilevered crane loading platforms.
Rigging work is undertaken in construction and other industries where load shifting equipment is used to move, place or secure loads.
Completion of the general construction induction training program, specified in the Safe Work Australia model Code of Practice: Construction Work, is required by anyone carrying out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.
This unit has a pre-requisite requirement. This requirement may be met by either the successful completion of the unit CPCCLDG3001 Licence to perform dogging or holding a valid licence for dogging.
This course is a precursor to CPCCLRG3002 Licence to Perform Rigging Intermediate Level
Basic Rigging Course – CPCCLRG3001
Takes a step up from Dogging with more advanced safety apparatus and includes;
Planning:
- Understand the task and safety procedures.

Q: Why is an active Dogging (DG) licence an absolute prerequisite for Basic Rigging?
A: Dogging covers the foundational science of selecting ropes, inspecting shackles, estimating load weights, and communicating with crane operators via whistle and radio. Because a rigger’s job is to secure, bolt up, and stabilize structural members once they are in place, SafeWork NSW legally mandates a valid DG ticket before you can step up to rigging dynamics.
Q: What specific high-risk tasks am I legally certified to perform with a Basic Rigging (RB) licence?
A: An RB high-risk licence qualifies you to handle structural steel erection, set up powered hoists, place pre-cast concrete members, install perimeter safety screens or shutters, assemble mast climbing work platforms, and secure cantilevered crane loading platforms on high-rise or industrial structures.
Q: What exact identity documentation and gear do I need to present on Day 1?
A: Under strict SafeWork NSW licensing rules, you must be a minimum of 18 years old and provide original, non-laminated documentation to accumulate a minimum of 100 points of identification on the first morning. Because you will be executing heavy physical steel assembly on an outdoor pad, you are strictly required to wear compliant worksite PPE—specifically steel-capped safety boots and a high-visibility shirt or vest.
