In the final part of A4I.tv’s series of videos explaining the methodologies of rigging best practices, Siobhan Colleen takes a close look at sending a pipe to the up-rigger.
The dangers of a swinging pipe are well-documented. So how do you avoid such an occurrence in the workplace?
Siobhan demonstrates how to correctly tie the pipe using a clove-hitch coupled with a half-hitch to avoid the pipe swinging dangerously on its journey to the up-rigger.
Presented in her customary witty and informative manner, Siobhan stresses the importance of the motto, ‘Please Rig Super Safe.’
