Elements and Performance Criteria
- Prepare for underwater rigging operation
- Load metrics and worksite data are determined and analysed to determine the specific requirements for rigginggear
- Work plan is developed consistent with the dive plan
- Rigging gear is selected, inspected and prepared
- Rigging gear is secured safely to/from the dive site
- Access obstructions and other hazards are assessed and action is taken to remove/reduce the risk
- Lift and handle submerged objects using mechanical advantage
- Lift points are established to secure the object to the lifting device
- Work-safe area is established and the location and safety of divers is confirmed prior to commencing the lift
- Lifting devices are operated within accepted load tolerances
- Raised objects are anchored off to allow associated work to be undertaken in safety
- Conclude underwater rigging operations
