a certified professional who has advanced training in complex lifting and rigging operations, building upon the fundamentals of a Rigger-I. This role involves advanced techniques for planning and executing lifts, estimating load weight and center of gravity, selecting appropriate rigging equipment, conducting pre-use inspections, and communicating effectively with crane operators. A Rigger-II is qualified to work independently on moderate-risk operations, which are common in construction, oil and gas, and shipping industries.

2. **Load Weight & Center of Gravity** – Calculating load weight, balance, and stability.
3. **Rigging Equipment & Selection** – Advanced use of slings, shackles, hooks, and hardware.
4. **Rigging Techniques** – Complex lifts, multi-leg slings, and non-symmetrical loads.
5. **Inspection & Maintenance** – Pre-use inspection and rejection criteria for rigging gear.
6. **Load Control & Communication** – Hand signals, taglines, and teamwork during lifts.
7. **Rigging Planning** – Lift plans, risk assessment, and hazard identification.
8. **Practical Training & Evaluation** – Hands-on rigging exercises and performance assessment.
