Rigging Procedures and RIGGING GeneralRigging is one of the most important safety and risk exposure considerations on anyconstruction project and Bechtel s corporate procedures reflect that corporate procedures require that each construction project develop a rigging controlplan appropriate for the project. This plan must address specific customer requirements, localsafety regulations and Bechtel Construction Operations Incorporated operating construction site must also provide for:Operator and rigging trainingPeriodic and frequent inspection of tools and equipmentPreplanning of rigging operationsMonitoring of rigging work Corporate ReferencesThe following Bechtel Corporate References define basic responsibilities for development,planning and execution for heavy and critical lift MANAGERS MANUAL, INSTRUCTION , RIGGING WORKOPERATIONSFIELD ENGINEERING MANUAL, INSTRUCTION ,CONSTRUCTION RIGGING PLANSBCOI OPERATING INSTRUCTION 4MP - T11 - L101 DEFINES THECRITERIA FOR THE USE OF BEO RIGGING SERVICES ON BECHTELCONSTRUCTION PROJECTSTHE FOLLOWING BECHTEL STANDARD WORK PROCESSPROCEDURES (SWPPs) RELATE TO RIGGING ACTIVITIES.
