First sentence: This newest edition includes the latest industry information on rigging and hoisting equipment and techniques. You will notice a heavy emphasis on the ASME B30 standards that cover cranes, rigging and related topics throughout this book. The current OSHA standard that addresses rigging (29 CFR 1910.184) is nearly 30 years old and does not deal with current equipment or industry practices. ASME clearly represents the current leader of safety practices of the industry, and updates the B30.9 standards on a regular basis. 

This book tries to cover many of the “problem” areas related to poor rigging practices, based partially from lessons learned through recent industry events, accident investigations, and discussions with other industry experts.
Description: The RIGGING HANDBOOK is a clear, illustrated reference source for rigging professionals, crane operators, and others that perform rigging and hoisting operations. This handbook provides concise, simple answers to rigging situations that may otherwise appear complex in nature. Both apprentices and journeymen will appreciate the simple layout, organization and detailed illustrations provided in this book.
