Rigger Level 2 Training & Certification in Dhahran
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. Headquarters of Saudi Aramco, with a high concentration of contractors operating under Aramco General Instructions.
Rigger Level 2 Training in Dhahran: local context

What we deliver in Dhahran
- ✓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

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.
