13.2.4.4.1 RULES FOR SAFE RIGGING

1. Use loops, thimbles and corner pads to prevent damage to slings when used around corners
or on cutting edges.
2. Never allow wire rope to lie on the ground for any length of time or on rusty steel or near
solvents, chemicals or corrosive substances.
3. Slings must not be pulled from between or under loads with load resting on the sling.
4. Keep all rope away from flame cutting or welding operations.
5. Never use rope as sling material.
6. Never wrap a wire rope completely around a hook.
7. Do not bend wire rope near any attached fitting.
8. The sling must be selected to suite the most heavily loaded leg rather than the total weight
when using multi-legged sling to lift loads in which one end is heavier than the other.
9. When using 3 and 4 legged sling configurations, any two legs must be capable of supporting
the entire load.
10. Where possible, wire rope choker hitches must include a shackle with the eye around the
shackle pin to prevent breaking wires of the choke. The choker hitch must be “snugged down”
prior to lifting, not after tension is applied.
11. Unless authorized by the hook manufacturer when more than two rope eyes are placed over a
hook, install a shackle, pin resting in the hook, and place the rope eyes in the bowl of the
shackle.
12. Properly rig all loads to prevent dislodgment of any part.
13. Use guide ropes or tag lines to prevent the rotation or uncontrolled motion of the load when
necessary.
14. Loads must be safely landed and properly blocked before being unhooked and unslung. Tag
lines must not be used in situations that jeopardize the safety of the lift.
15. Lifting beams must be plainly marked with their weight and designed working load and must
only be used in the manner for which they were designed.

A. Test Procedure / Guidelines
Fear of height may be physiological or psychological. Therefore, to rule out any possibility of
physiological factor, detailed medical check-up of workers is carried out before vertigo test. Medical
check-up of workers includes the following:
history of past illnesses (like epilepsy, drug allergy, diabetics/ hypertension, unconsciousness etc.),
general physical examination (like height, weight, BMI, build and nourishment etc.), measurement of
pulse rate, Blood Pressure, respiratory rate.
After this check-up, those who are found suitable for height work by examining doctor, are allowed to
undergo vertigo test.
During this health check-up, psychology of workers is also studied. If any worker finds it extremely
difficult/ frightening to climb the monkey ladder & walk on the beam, during/after performing vertigo
test or even before performing, then he is treated as disqualified.
As per standard, during vertigo test, worker is allowed to climb on a foundation through monkey
ladder, walk on a beam, then steps down at the other end of beam, through monkey ladder. Height
of the beam should be at least six feet from ground level. All necessary safety precautions are taken
during this test. Worker has to wear full body harness with double lanyard. A horizontal lifeline is run
parallel to the beam and worker has to put his lanyards into the lifeline. Additionally, a safety net is
also put below the beam for rescue of the victim in case of a fall from beam.
Following activities are generally carried during testing:

1. Walking Bench Training:

a. Person should walk over the channel. He should maintain balance & walk without much
problem.
b. If the person has problem to balances himself on repeated chances, he may be having flat foot
or some other problem. So, he may not be fit for height work.
2. Rope Climb Training:
Person should be able to climb the rope up to the top channel for ensuring that in case of fall, a
person hanging on the safety harness, will be able to safely climb back to the platform within
minimum time period before the safety harness start breaking down under the load.
3. Height Work Training:
Person should walk freely on the middle channel while holding the top channel with the help of
safety harness.
4. Ladder for Vertical fall arrestor Training:
Vertical fall arrestor rope is fixed from top to bottom of the ladder. It will ensure:
 Usage of vertical fall arrestor.
 Usage of two lanyards of a safety harness.
 Ensure 3-point contact on the ladder while climb.
5. Chair for work at height Training:
 Climb though vertical ladder with two lanyard ropes.
 Hooking of two lanyard ropes to life line. With this safe arrangement, he can walk to chair.
 Sits in the chair safely, comes out & walks back to the vertical ladder & come down from
vertical ladder. After completion of vertigo test, blood pressure of worker is again measured. If
it is not within acceptable limits for any worker, concerned worker is denied height pass.

Only those who pass the above training are fit for height work.
