Under the option slings and fittings there are very interesting articles. (I used to see them in their catalogs)

RE: Rigging safety
Because of the nature of my work (guyed and self-supporting tower design), I am familiar with many industrial accidents in which workers have died as a result of rigging failures. The problem has most often been that the workmen, in effect, designed their own rigging. The failure most often occurred in the connections. Each of these deaths could have been prevented if a competent engineer had designed or at least reviewed the proposed rigging and reviewed the proposed lifting procedure.
