Rigging Handbook is great!

This book provided me with a better understanding of how to recognize potential problems with rigging. I have purchased several copies of this book for all our employees to help them perform safer lifts by learning more about the slings and hardware that they are using. The illustrations are very understandable and compelling. Explanations are simple and the reader won't require special knowledge of math or physics to understand the material.
