It’s my Job

Hi. My name’s Danny. I often work in high places. It looks dangerous, doesn’t it? I always wear a safety harness, so I can’t fall very far. Still, a lot of people can’t go up high, but I love it! I’m a rigger, by the way. What do riggers do? Well, riggers lift things and move things – heavy loads, like big pipes and big machines. First we estimate the weight and the size of the load. Then we decide how we can move it. Sometimes we erect special lifting equipment, and sometimes we work with special operators.

When riggers work with crane operators, we prepare the load: I mean we put the load in the sling, and then the crane lifts it.

There are a lot of riggers in the oil and gas industry. We’re everywhere! Why? Because there’s always heavy equipment that needs lifting and moving. I work for a good company. Safety is important to them. Every day the supervisor talks about safety. There are lots of hazards in my job, so safety is important to me too.
