Rigger Level 1 Training & Certification in Dammam
A Rigger Level 1 course for slingers, banksmen and new riggers on Saudi industrial and project sites. It teaches how to choose slings and rigging hardware, rig loads with the right hitches, give standard hand signals and inspect lifting gear before use.

Home to our head office, Dammam is the commercial heart of the Eastern Province, close to Aramco's headquarters, King Abdulaziz Port and the 2nd Industrial City.
Rigger Level 1 Training in Dammam: local context
Dammam's yards and workshops often bring together crane, forklift and rigging crews from several contractors, each with a different level of experience, so site managers need one common standard for who may operate, rig or signal. EES delivers operator and rigger training with practical assessment at your Dammam site or yard, and issues competency cards and records so supervisors and safety teams can check who has been assessed.
