The term "rigger" refers to people who work on building sites and move loads. Riggers who are skilled and certified have the knowledge and skills required to carry out rigging operations safely and efficiently.

A trained rigger has formal training and practical expertise in rigging operations. A certified rigger, on the other hand, has passed a formal assessment and has received a recognised certification from an official body. This certification adds another layer of validation and verification to an individual's rigging skills.

A competent rigger must have numerous critical skills and competencies, including: 

• Riggers must grasp proper rigging techniques and safety processes in order to ensure safety awareness and regulatory compliance.
• Spatial awareness is essential when operating in limited spaces or at heights.
• Riggers use problem-solving skills to overcome barriers and find effective solutions.
• Effective communication is essential for coordinating load moves and maintaining a consistent workflow among team members.
• Attention to detail is required for efficient load attachment and stability.
• Physical fitness is also required when undertaking physically demanding tasks.
• Continuous learning and remaining current on industry practices are critical to sustaining skills in the ever-changing construction sector.
