Attach rigging to objects so they can be moved.

Attach rigging to objects so they can be moved. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 2 occupations and seen in 5 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Set up equipment. in Handling and Moving Objects .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 5 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 0 (0%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Attach loads to rigging to provide support or prepare them for moving, using hand and power tools. · Riggers · importance 4.2 · no direct exposure
• Install ground rigging for yarding lines, attaching chokers to logs and to the lines. · Riggers · importance 4.1 · no direct exposure
• Attach pulleys and blocks to fixed overhead structures, such as beams, ceilings, and gin pole booms, using bolts and clamps. · Riggers · importance 3.9 · no direct exposure
• Recover objects by placing rigging around sunken objects, hooking rigging to crane lines, and operating winches, derricks, or cranes to raise objects. · Commercial Divers · importance 3.9 · no direct exposure
• Fabricate, set up, and repair rigging, supporting structures, hoists, and pulling gear, using hand and power tools. · Riggers · importance 3.8 · no direct exposure

Occupations that perform this
