Rigger and Signalman

(Day shift) @ Jurong Port

Rigger Job Scope
The Rigger is primarily responsible for physically securingand preparing the cargo on the ground or on the vessel before it is lifted.

• Load Assessment: Evaluates the weight, dimensions, and center of gravity of heavy machinery, steel, or bulk items to prevent shifting.
• Rigging & Slings: Selects appropriate lifting gear (wire ropes, shackles, or web slings) and ensures the load does not exceed the Safe Working Load (SWL).
• Cargo Protection: Applies necessary paddings to sharp edges of the cargo to prevent damage to both the cargo and the slings during tension.
• Tagline Control: Connects and handles taglines to manually guide and stabilize the cargo, keeping it from spinning out of control.
• Equipment Checks: Conducts pre-operation inspections of lifting gears and immediately reports any worn-out ropes or defects to the Lifting Supervisor

Signalman Job Scope
The Signalman acts as the "eyes and ears" managingthe safe transit of the load through clear communication.

• Pre-Lift Verification: Confirms with the Rigger that the cargo is stable, balanced, and ready for full execution before initiating any movement.
• Clearance Management: Ensures that all ground personnel are well clear of the "line of fire" (hazardous zones under or near the load path) before signaling.
• Maneuver Signaling: Uses standard hand signals (12 standard variations) or voice radio commands (16 standard voice signals) to guide the crane operator precisely into position.
• Positioning: Positions themselves strategically on the wharf or vessel so they retain an unobstructed line of sight with both the load path and the crane cabin.
• Strict Role Separation: Refrains completely from handling or rigging cargo while giving signals to avoid distraction.
