Rigging 1 - Study Guide Rigging 1 explains the fundamentals of overhead rigging. Topics covered include three basic elements of safe rigging, rope, knots and knot tying, use of a hand line, and use of a block and tackle. Introduces approaches to performing basic rigging tasks. Covers how to plan a rigging job, how to inspect the equipment used on a job, how to tie basic knots commonly used in rigging, how to hang and use a hand line, and how to hang and use a block and tackle. Explains to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, and how to identify the basic parts of a rope.

Rigging 2 - Study Guide Rigging 2 shows basic rigging equipment and gives guidelines for rigging a job safely. It demonstrates methods for rigging a transformer, rigging a running corner, changing out a crossarm, and transferring secondary lines. Advanced Rigging - Study Guide Linemen often work on jobs that involve rigging loads to be lifted, moved, or stabilized. Advanced Rigging covers many of the factors that must be considered when rigging is part of the job, including rigging forces and tensions, safety factor, and weight and tension calculations. Rigging for High Voltage Work - Study Guide Rigging for High Voltage Work explains the basic principles of rigging for high-voltage work and demonstrates how these principles apply in three typical rigging jobs. Particular emphasis is placed on safety issues and on properly planning a rigging job. Covers how to approach rigging near energized lines. How to plan a job. How the amount of strain involved affects the size and type of equipment selected. Describes how to rig to remove strain from a transmission insulator.
