Rigging

Overview

Effective rigging is an art and a science. Rigging is essential for moving just about anything that is too big or heavy for humans to accomplish with their bare hands. You will find requirements for safe rigging practices throughout Oregon OSHA’s general industry, construction, agriculture, and forest activities rules.
