Course Overview

This SASO & LEEA Approved - Rigger 3 Training Course provides advanced knowledge and hands-on skills to manage highly complex rigging operations, including rig loads up to 10 tons, tandem crane lifts, dynamic load handling, and specialized equipment installations. Aligned with Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) standards and Aramco GI Requirements, OSHA guidelines , and industry best practices, the program is designed for experienced riggers tasked with overseeing high-risk and technically challenging lifts. 


Participants will gain expertise in advanced load dynamics, critical lift planning, and safety protocols for intricate operations such as personnel platform lifts, in onshore and offshore rigging scenarios.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Perform advanced calculations for load dynamics, including asymmetrical loads and dynamic forces.

  • Coordinate tandem and multiple crane operations with precision and safety.

  • Develop and approve comprehensive lift plans for complex and high-risk lifts.

  • Inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot advanced rigging equipment and systems.

  • Execute safe rigging practices for offshore, onshore, and industrial applications.

Group Exercises

  • Calculating load weights and determining appropriate sling configurations for various load types

  • Inspecting rigging equipment and applying correct rejection criteria

  • Applying sling angle factors to rated capacities and selecting appropriate hardware

  • Demonstrating standard hand signals and communication protocols for lifting operations

  • Identifying hazards in rigging scenarios and implementing proper mitigation strategies

Knowledge Assessment

  • Advanced technical evaluation including (complex calculations, engineering principles application, and solution development)

  • Leadership scenario assessment including (team management challenges, critical decision points, and communication strategies)

  • Risk management evaluation including (complex scenario analysis, control measure development, and effectiveness assessment)

  • Regulatory and standard interpretation including (requirement application in unusual circumstances, technical standard implementation, and compliance verification)
