All companies must use certified riggers and signalpersons when hoisting materials for construction and disassembly operations (1926.1440(r)(1)). Also, when operators are working in the fall zone and fastening, unhooking, or controlling a load, or making the initial connection of a load to a component or structure, qualified riggers are needed (1926.1425(c)).
- Each load that needs rigging has distinctive characteristics that can be simple or complex.
- A rigger, for example, might have extensive experience rigging essential parts and other machinery to support particular construction tasks.
- The rigger does not appear to be automatically qualified to rig unstable, extremely heavy, or uncommon loads that would need a harness lift, numerous lifts, or the use of special rigging tools, despite having experience.
- Employers must ensure that those performing rigging work have the qualified rigging training required for the specific loads and lifts they will be performing, in addition to the rigging equipment itself.

Riggers are not required to be evaluated by a third party or to hold a certification from a recognized body. Companies are not compelled to engage a third party, but they are free to do so in order to assess the prospective applicant's qualifications.
