1 Qualification Title QUALIFICATION DETAILS New Zealand Certificate in Rigging (Level 4) with optional strands in Construction Rigging and Telecommunications Rigging Version 1 Qualification type Certificate Level 4 Credits NZSCED DAS Classification Strategic purpose statement Architecture and Building > Building > Scaffolding and Rigging 964 Service Sector > Lifting Equipment The purpose of this qualification is to provide the rigging sector with people who are able to plan, prepare and complete rigging tasks. They will also be able to lead a team carrying out rigging activities. Riggers work to safely set up and control the movement of loads over distance, which are usually suspended; can operate a variety of hoisting devices and rigging equipment; and are often required to operate at heights. The purpose of the optional Construction Rigging or Telecommunications Rigging strands is to provide the sector with people who are able to carry out Construction and Telecommunication rigging tasks. Graduates of this qualification will be capable of working autonomously without supervision. Outcome Statement Graduate profile Graduates of this qualification will be able to: Apply the health and safety legislation and the Approved Code of Practice for Load Lifting Rigging to rigging situations Plan, prepare, communicate instructions, and lead a work group in lifting, erection, and placement of loads, and complete associated documentation Sling complex loads safely using the correct lifting equipment Determine forces in rigging components and arrangements by calculation and vector diagrams Install structural anchors for rigging purposes Develop a safety plan and a rescue plan to manage risks when working at height. Graduates of the optional strand in Construction Rigging will also be able to: Carry out steel erection, maintenance and repair, and construction rigging. Graduates of the optional strand in Telecommunications Rigging will also be able to: Carry out rigging for telecommunications services, and rescue from radio frequency (RF) structures.

3 Education pathway Employment pathway The qualification follows on from the New Zealand Certificate in Rigging (Level 3) [Ref: 2355] and is the second step in the New Zealand rigging qualification pathway. It will prepare candidates for entry into the New Zealand Certificate in Rigging (Level 5) with an optional strand in Telecommunications Rigging [Ref: 2357]. Graduates of the Level 3 and Level 4 rigging qualifications will have achieved mandatory unit standards 3789 and 3801 and will also be eligible to be awarded the New Zealand Certificate in Cranes (Dogman Operations) (Level 3) [Ref: 1786]. Candidates requiring specialist construction rigging (steel erection) or telecommunications rigging training may enroll in the optional Construction Rigging or Telecommunications rigging strands. Candidates wishing to do the optional strand in Telecommunications Rigging in the Level 5 qualification [Ref: 2147] need to complete the Level 4 Telecommunications Rigging strand as a pre requisite. Graduates of this qualification will be experienced in rigging work. They will be able to work in planning and team leadership roles. Work options will exist on a variety of sites where rigging is required. Employment prospects may be further enhanced for graduates who undertake the construction rigging (steel erection) or telecommunications rigging strands for this qualification. As graduates of the Level 3 and Level 4 rigging qualifications will have achieved mandatory unit standards 3789 and 3801 and will also be eligible to be awarded Ref: 1786 employment opportunities include working with crane operators in the role of dogman. Ref: 1786 is generally required by industry for those directing cranes. Likely roles may include: Riggers Structural Steel Riggers Oil Work Rigging Construction Rigging Telecommunication Tower Riggers.
