Rigger Level 2 Training & Certification in Ras Tanura
A Rigger Level 2 course, also known as an advanced rigger course, for experienced riggers who plan and rig lifts rather than only follow instructions. Candidates calculate load weight and centre of gravity, select multi-leg slings and hardware, prepare rigging plans and recognise when a tandem or complex lift needs engineering input. Content is aligned to your client's Level 2 definition. Site of one of the world's largest oil refineries and export terminals, with continuous maintenance and turnaround activity.
Rigger Level 2 Training in Ras Tanura: local context
Large contractor crews brought in for maintenance work at Ras Tanura Refinery often mobilise in short windows, and crane operators, riggers and signallers need to be competent before work begins. EES delivers operator and rigger training and assessment at the contractor's camp or yard, scheduled around shift patterns, and issues competency cards that supervisors can verify on site.
What we deliver in Ras Tanura
- ✓Load weight and centre of gravity: estimating and calculating mass, locating the centre of gravity and checking it against marked weights and documents
- ✓Sling angle and leg loading: multi-leg slings, unequal leg angles and load sharing, how many legs actually carry the load on three- and four-leg slings, and calculating leg loads to select slings of adequate capacity
- ✓Rigging plans: sketches, equipment lists, sling and hardware selection, capacity checks and the information handed to the crane operator and lift supervisor
- ✓Complex configurations: lifting beams and spreader bars, offset centre of gravity, tailing, up-ending and turning loads, and the basics of tandem lifts and when engineering approval is needed
- ✓Special loads: long, flexible, sharp-edged and delicate items, with edge protection and sling protection, and how tight bends and sharp edges reduce sling capacity
- ✓Detailed inspection of slings, shackles, hooks and below-the-hook devices, with removal-from-service criteria and records
- ✓Lift communication and control: briefing the team, exclusion zones, signals and stop-work authority, then a written exam with calculations and a practical rigging scenario
Standards
- ✓ASME B30.9 (slings)
- ✓ASME B30.26 (rigging hardware)
- ✓ASME B30.20 (below-the-hook lifting devices)

What does a Level 2 rigger do that a Level 1 rigger does not?＋
Definitions vary by client scheme, but Level 2 is commonly an advanced rigger who determines load weight and centre of gravity, selects slings and hardware and prepares rigging plans. Level 1 riggers more typically work to a plan prepared by someone else. We confirm your project's definition before aligning the course.
Do I need Level 1 before an advanced rigger course in KSA?＋
Prerequisites depend on the scheme and the candidate. We expect field rigging experience and sound sling knowledge, check this at enrolment and recommend Level 1 first if the basics are not secure.
