Such equipment is also known as ‘rigging equipment’, ‘lifting gear’ or ‘lifting tackle’. For the purpose of this code the term Lifting Accessory is used throughout.

In terms of use legislation items that are incorporated into the load are considered a part of that load and not within scope of use legislation for thorough examination.
