Lifting vs Rigging: Understanding the Key Difference

Lifting and rigging are essential parts of every safe lifting operation, but they are not the same. Understanding their roles helps improve safety, reduce lifting risks, and ensure efficient material handling.

🔹 Rigging involves selecting, attaching, and securing the load using the appropriate lifting accessories before the lift begins.
🔹 Lifting is the controlled movement of the load using cranes, hoists, or other lifting equipment.
✅ Select the correct lifting accessories
⚖️ Verify the Safe Working Load (SWL)
👷 Follow approved lifting procedures
🦺 Ensure safe and controlled lifting operations
Knowing the difference between lifting and rigging helps prevent accidents, protect workers, and support safe, compliant lifting practices.
