Rigging using our OPITO & NVQ Qualified Technicians

Rigging is a crucial element of various industries, including construction and maintenance.

It involves the preparation and arrangement of equipment, materials, and loads to be lifted, moved, or secured using ropes, slings, and other lifting gear. Rigging ensures that loads are handled safely, securely, and efficiently, reducing the risk of accidents and damage.

What is OPITO and NVQ?

OPITO (The Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation) is an international organization that provides training and certification for a variety of offshore oil and gas industry roles. NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a UK-based qualification system that assesses competency in a variety of vocational skills.

Riggers who are OPITO and NVQ qualified have demonstrated their competence in the safe and correct use of rigging equipment. This makes them highly sought-after by companies operating in the offshore oil and gas industry.

What does rigging entail?

There are many different types of rigging, each with its own challenges and requirements. However, some of the most common tasks involved in rigging include:

• Lifting and moving heavy loads
• Setting up and operating cranes, hoists, and blocks

• Working with a team to lift and move loads safely and efficiently

Rigging is a complex and challenging task, but it is also an essential one. By using qualified and experienced riggers like us, you can ensure that your operations are safe and efficient.
