Issuer and path
India Crane Rigger and Lifting Gear Competency Exam Prep is administered through State Factories Inspectorates / Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health / Sector skill and lifting-equipment safety authorities. Check official resources before booking, retesting, or relying on a stale requirement.

Slings, shackles, hooks, spreader beams, center of gravity, sling angle, sharp edges, tag lines, load path and gear inspection.
Crane Setup, Signalling and Site Controls
26 scored + 0 pretest
Ground bearing, outriggers, mats, level, power lines, wind, communication, blind lifts, exclusion zones and traffic control.
Defects, Records and Emergency Response
12 scored + 0 pretest
Dropped loads, damaged gear, alarms, maintenance tags, logbooks, handover, rescue access and stop-work learning.
Before applying or operating
Confirm the current state factory rules, employer lifting procedure, crane class, rigger or signalman competency route, lifting-gear inspection interval, lift-plan approval threshold, and site permit rules before operating or supervising lifts.
How to use this guide
How to study crane and rigging decisions
Practice like a lift supervisor: verify competent people, calculate the actual lift, protect the ground, inspect every lifting point, control the load path, stop for communication or weather failures, and document defects before the next shift inherits them.
Identify source and role
Separate issuer, state authority, competent person, operator, and supervisor boundaries.
Lock field controls
Check isolation, PPE, instrument readings, exposure, clearance, permits, and emergency routes.
Close with records
Protect certificates, logbooks, registers, test sheets, incident notes, and correction records.
Operator, Rigger and Signalman Authority
Verify competent people, role separation, site briefing, machine authorization and stop-work authority before any lift.
Key rules
Rule 1
Use only a competent and authorized rigger after the load, gear and lift plan are briefed.
Exam cue: competent rigger assignment
Rule 2
Stop crane movement until one designated signaler or agreed communication method is confirmed.
Exam cue: single signal authority
Rule 3
Brief the operator on the approved plan, route, hazards, ground controls, communication, exclusion zones and emergency stop signals.
Exam cue: operator site briefing
Study it this way
Simulation focus
Operator, Rigger and Signalman Authority
Verify competent people, role separation, site briefing, machine authorization and stop-work authority before any lift.
Common traps
Treating verbal permission as written authorization.
Prevention: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Proceeding without recording readings, isolation, PPE, or exposure-control evidence.
Prevention: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Choosing a generic answer without checking state variation or the latest official notice.
Prevention: Avoid verbal approval, copied readings, skipped isolation, and after-the-fact record traps.
Memory anchors
competent rigger assignment
Use only a competent and authorized rigger after the load, gear and lift plan are briefed.
single signal authority
Stop crane movement until one designated signaler or agreed communication method is confirmed.
operator site briefing
Brief the operator on the approved plan, route, hazards, ground controls, communication, exclusion zones and emergency stop signals.
pre-lift approval signature
Review and sign required lift-plan approvals before the lift, with changes reapproved before work continues.
Official source check
Verify eligibility, forms, fees, validity, and safety requirements with State Factories Inspectorates / Directorate of Industrial Safety and Health / Sector skill and lifting-equipment safety authorities or the current state authority notice.
Stop-work cue
If identity, authorization, isolation, PPE, exposure limits, or emergency controls are unclear, stop work and escalate.
Record cue
Exam-safe answers protect written records, competent sign-off, instrument readings, and traceable corrections.
Shortcut trap
Fast results, verbal approval, copied certificates, and undocumented adjustments are common trap answers.

Check-up Questions
A forklift operator is asked to attach slings for a mobile-crane lift while the assigned rigger is at lunch. The operator has no documented rigging assessment. What should the lift supervisor do?
Two workers begin giving different hand signals to the crane operator during a lift. Neither has been identified as the designated signaler. What is the operator's safest response?
Answer all questions to submit.
