Hi everyone,
Can someone please tell me what the ESTA rigging standard is for safety factors? I'm having various people giving me number for ranging from 5:1, 7:1 and 10:1. I want to be able to have the standard so I can cite that if we are hanging a 1,000# load across a span the system needs to be designed correctly with the correct safety factor being put in. I am starting to run into this scenario with various clients and need to be able to cite this documentation to back up my claims. Also, if there is any other standards beyond ESTA I would love it if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
