Craig Carlson President/Owner Fall Protection Consulting, Inc."As a 45 year member of the Iron workers Union, with most of it dealing with the erection of hi-rise buildings I know firsthand the hazards involved in steel erection activities! Proper rigging techniques and inspection/care are vital to maintaining the integrity of the wire rope and synthetic slings. Your FREE "Did You Know" series training videos cover all aspects of inspection and use of slings. I use them often in my OSHA 30 classes that I teach to my fellow Ironworkers! Keep up the Great work!!!"
