    Study Notes

    Rigging Operations

    • Rigging is the process of moving heavy objects using ropes, cables, rollers, hoists, and other lifting devices.
    • It must be done by trained and experienced tradespersons to avoid dangerous conditions.

    Factors to Consider for Safe Rigging

    • How the object is constructed: material, weight, and size.
    • The path of the move.
    • The rigging equipment available.
    • Safety requirements.

    Determining the Mass of an Object

    • Use manufacturer's specification sheets.
    • Calculate the mass based on the object's physical dimensions.
    • Estimate the mass.

    Calculating the Mass of an Object

    • Formulas to calculate the volume of geometric shapes (cubes, prisms, pyramids, solid cylinders, hollow cylinders).
    • Density of the material used in constructing the object (e.g., iron or steel: approximately 8 × 10^3 kg/m^3).
    • Divide complex shapes into simple shapes, calculate volumes, and add them together.
    • Multiply the volume in cubic meters by the density in kilograms per cubic meter.

    Estimating the Mass of an Object

    • Estimates should be accurate to within 20% for light objects and increase in accuracy for heavier objects.
    • Estimates should be on the heavy side for safety reasons.
    • Visualize irregular objects as regular shapes or groups of regular shapes to estimate volume.
