NCCCO RIGGING 1 & 2 QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 100% PASS
What is the primary purpose of rigging in construction?
✔✔ The primary purpose of rigging is to safely lift, move, and position heavy loads during
construction or maintenance operations.
What is the difference between a static load and a dynamic load?
✔✔ A static load remains constant and does not change, while a dynamic load involves
movement and can change in magnitude and direction.
What type of rigging hardware is commonly used to connect slings to loads?
✔✔ Common rigging hardware includes shackles, hooks, and eye bolts, which connect slings to
the loads being lifted.
What is the significance of the load capacity rating of rigging equipment?
✔✔ The load capacity rating indicates the maximum weight that the rigging equipment can
safely handle without failure.
1
, How should rigging equipment be inspected before use?
✔✔ Rigging equipment should be visually inspected for signs of wear, damage, corrosion, and
deformation before each use.
What is a “tag line” and its purpose in rigging?
✔✔ A tag line is a rope attached to a load to help control its movement and stabilize it during
lifting operations.
What are the benefits of using synthetic slings over wire rope slings?
✔✔ Synthetic slings are lighter, more flexible, and less likely to damage the load compared to
wire rope slings.
How is the working load limit (WLL) of a sling determined?
✔✔ The working load limit (WLL) is determined by the material, diameter, and construction of
the sling, and is specified by the manufacturer.
What factors should be considered when choosing a rigging method?
✔✔ Factors to consider include the weight and shape of the load, the lift height, the
environment, and the type of rigging equipment available.
