What you'll cover

Five lessons, every numeric claim grounded in a registered source — AS / CoP / WHS Reg, not training-data paraphrase.

01

Sling Angle Factor & Load Calculations

The four canonical AS 3775 factors — 0° = 1.00, 60° = 1.73, 90° = 1.41, 120° = 1.00 (max). Maximum load = weakest sling WLL × factor. Per-leg tension worked examples. Why 1.15 at 60° belongs to a different convention and isn't used in Australian dogging.

02

Standard Hand Signals for Crane Operations

The seven core AS 2550 hand signals + the ten canonical whistle signals as used on Australian sites. Hoist, lower, stop, emergency stop, boom up/down, slew left/right, jib in/out. Plus when to fall back to whistle vs radio.

03

Establishing Safe Exclusion Zones

Drop zones, swing radius, tail swing clearance (600 mm minimum), OHEL approach distances (3 m / 6 m / 8 m by voltage). Who maintains the zone, who can enter, and how to barricade per WHS Regulation 2017.

04

Sling Selection & Pre-Use Inspection

Pick the right sling family — chain (AS 3775), flat synthetic (AS 1353.1), round (AS 4497), wire rope (AS 1666 / AS 2759). Colour code WLLs. Retirement criteria for each. The 3-monthly competent-person inspection cadence.

05

Load Assessment & Rigging Planning

Material densities for weight estimation (concrete 2.4 t/m³, steel 7.85 t/m³). The five required elements of a documented safe work lifting procedure. Trial-lift verification — what to do when the load tilts as it clears the ground.
