Section 1: certification & scope of work

This section confirms your understanding of what tasks an Intermediate Rigging licence authorises, including demolition-related rigging, tilt-up work, cranes, hoists, and temporary platforms. Assessors use these questions to ensure you clearly understand licence limits, supervision requirements, and prohibited activities.

1. Is a person with an Intermediate Rigging Certificate allowed to carry out rigging work in connection with demolition?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

Section 2: Tilt-Slab Erection

This section focuses on the engineering and safety controls required for tilt-up concrete panel erection, including lifting inserts, braces, anchors, tolerances, and crane requirements. You are expected to understand design limits, proof testing, load increases, and erection sequencing, not just recall values.

13. What is the minimum safety factor for lifting inserts and bracing inserts?

2.5 (or 2½).

Every 6 months.

0.65 (or 65%) of the first slip load.

100%.

Deformation-controlled anchors.

2

Retaining devices.

Its WLL at zero extension and at maximum extension.

40 mm.

100 mm or the panel thickness, whichever is lesser.

A load indicator.

40% (or 1.4).

2

5 mm.

On the shop drawing.

A lifting insert.

A bracing insert.

A fixing insert.

A panel/floor connection.

Section 3: Demolition of Structures

This section tests your knowledge of controlled demolition principles, including felling methods, stability limits, rope and chain selection, and exclusion zones. Assessors are confirming that you can identify collapse risks, safe distances, and when specialist engineering advice is mandatory.

32. What type of indicator must be fitted to a crane used for demolition?

A load indicator.

Yes.

12 mm.

8 mm.

No.

1.5 times the height of the structure.

0.75 × distance between the mechanism and the structure.

Before.

Barricade them.

Less than 15 × least overall plan dimension.

Less than 20 × least overall plan dimension.

Less than 25 × least overall plan dimension.

Two.

Half the unsupported height above the cut-off level.

Towards the reinforced face.

Under no circumstances

Sudden (or catastrophic) collapse of the beam.

A structural engineer (or the prestressing equipment supplier).

A structural engineer or the prestressing equipment supplier.
