Looks like ESTA has just announced the release of two drafts of rigging standards for review to the industry. If you have any interest or knowledge of rigging, you are encouraged to provide your valuable input into the drafts.

With any review of draft standards, there is a limited time that the public are allowed to review and comment on the standards.  These two particular draft end review on February 15, 2010.
