This briefing will address the importance of eliminating multiple points of failure, especially human, by implementing best practices for specification of self-centering shackle technology. These best practices will help safety engineers, equipment operators and workers mitigate significant safety concerns resulting from misuse of shackles, lack of cable symmetry while meeting OSHA rigging standards put forth in ASME B30.26 and federal standards outlines in RR-C-271H. In addition, this session will address current and future BAA/TAA compliance  requirements for procurement on CONUS and OCONUS US federal projects.
