What is the purpose of a tagline in rigging operations?
✔✔A tagline helps control the movement and position of a load during lifting, enhancing safety
and precision.
Explain the role of a snatch block in a rigging setup.
✔✔A snatch block changes the direction of a pull and can effectively double the lifting capacity
of a rigging system.
How can the center of gravity affect load stability during rigging?
✔✔The center of gravity determines how the load will behave when lifted; a load with a high
center of gravity is more likely to tip or swing.
What safety measures should be taken when using a winch for lifting?
✔✔Ensure the winch is rated for the load weight, check for wear and tear on cables, and use
appropriate lifting techniques to avoid sudden jerks.

, Describe the significance of using safety latches on hooks.
✔✔Safety latches prevent accidental disconnection of the load from the hook, reducing the risk
of dropping the load during lifting.
What factors should be considered when choosing a rigging sling?
✔✔Consider the load weight, the type of material, environmental conditions, and the required
lifting angle to ensure proper sling selection.
How do you determine the working load limit (WLL) of a rigging component?
✔✔The WLL is determined based on the manufacturer's specifications and the material used,
considering safety factors to prevent failure.
Why is it important to inspect rigging equipment before use?
✔✔Inspection identifies any signs of damage or wear, ensuring that the equipment is safe and
reliable for lifting operations.
What is the difference between a block and tackle and a simple pulley system?
✔✔A block and tackle system uses multiple pulleys to distribute weight and increase mechanical
advantage, while a simple pulley system only redirects force without mechanical advantage.
