Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazardous condition would be to ensure that the rigging practices outlined in ASME B30.9- 2003, Slings, are followed and to develop a comprehensive rigging program in accordance with with the Rigging Manual published by the Construction Safety Association of Ontario.
