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. Level definitions vary by client scheme, so we align the content and assessment to your project's requirement.
Scope of Work

- ✓Sling types and selection: wire rope, chain, synthetic web and round slings, matched to the load, the environment and the hitch
- ✓Hitches: straight, choker and basket hitches and multi-leg slings, and how each changes rated capacity
- ✓Rigging hardware: shackles, eyebolts, hooks, hoist rings and turnbuckles, used as marked and with correct pin and thread engagement
- ✓Pre-use inspection of slings and hardware for damage, kinks, heat, wear and missing tags, with criteria for withdrawal from service

FAQs
What is Rigger Level 1, and how does it differ from Level 2 and Level 3?＋
Definitions vary by client scheme. Commonly Level 1 is the basic rigger or slinger, Level 2 is an advanced rigger who plans rigging and lifts, and Level 3 is a rigging or lifting supervisor. We align the course to the level your project specifies.
Will my client accept a Rigger Level 1 certificate in Saudi Arabia?＋
Acceptance depends on the client and the project scheme, and some clients require training that meets TVTC or client-specific requirements. Send us the requirement and ask for the current approval status and reference of the course before you book.
Is this the same as a slinger signaller course?＋
The core skills overlap, because slinging and signalling are the heart of Level 1. If your client names a separate slinger-signaller or banksman card, tell us and we will align the assessment to it where practical.
Is a practical test included?＋
Yes. Candidates select slings and hardware, rig and sling real loads, give signals and inspect gear in front of the assessor, in addition to a written test.
