Washington State Crane Bill misses the mark in safety for Below the Hook attachments and incentivizes unsafe lifters. Just by updating the most current ASME, they could have prevented this. It feels intentional that they didn’t. Does Washington care about worker safety?

Rated lifters are already required by OSHA. They also require a manufacturer and inspection logs. So if you are signing off on lifters that don’t have a manufacturer, are you at risk of breaking the law?
