VGHB 109
DO’S Rigger
Manuel hoisting >500KG: Fill in VGHB 109-8 checklist manual hoisting.
Hoisting with mobile hoisting equipment > 2T also fill in VGHB 109-3 checklist for riggers
Always use the guidelines of the mobile hoisting equipment or manual
hoisting equipment
Before each hoist the Lift Director has to hold a pre-lift briefing
The Lift director manual hoisting is 100% present during the job
Rigging equipment must be visual inspected before use

Never use damaged hoisting equipment
Never use slings on sharp edges without edge protectors

Risk areas
There are three main risk areas, also called “Exclusion Zones”. These are managed by the Rigger and by the Lift Director
during hoisting. The Rigger or Lift Director is the leader of the area. When hoisting, the crane operator follows the
instructions of the Rigger. The 3 exclusion zones are (see figure below):
• The hoisting area (yellow)
This is an area around the crane or hoist. This area is kept as small as possible and is physically fenced off so that
bystanders do not enter it unconsciously. If it is not possible to fence off, someone from the hoisting team warns
bystanders, when hoisting this is usually done with a (referee) whistle.
•The fall and / or crush zone of the load (red):
This is a limited area around the load in relation to obstacles. This area is within the barrier of the hoisting area, entry
is only permitted for hoist team members and after consultation with the Rigger or Lift Director. This area is not
fenced off.

Risk areas (2.4 VGHB 109)
Only Members of the lift crew may enter the Drop and Crush zone and only under the following
conditions:
• Only enter the area’s after communication with the rigger/ Lift director (takelen/manual)
• During the assembly or disassembly of the load;
• During the operations of the chain hoist if there is no safer alternative.
15
Scaffolding anchor/lifting points (VGHB 109)
The load may be attached on the whole length of the lattice girder. One hoist per lattice girder!
See approval label “Hoisting scaffold”. Hang the hoisting scaffolding label on the lattice girder to
which the hoist may be attached (make it accessible with a scaffolding ladder)!
The maximum load on a “standard” hoisting scaffold is 500KG. If the load is heavier the scaffold
must be engineered/calculated and
approved.
