WARNING:

 Failure to use lifting 

provisions can result in a dropped 
load causing severe injury, death, 
and/or property damage. Lifts 
must be performed by qualified 
riggers following BAC published 
Rigging Instructions, and generally 
accepted lifting practices. The 
use of a supplemental safety 
sling may also be required if the 
lift circumstances warrant its 
use, as determined by the rigging 
contractor.
