  1. Danger Sign

  2. Project Overview • WSTDA contracted with Applied Safety and Ergonomics, Inc. (ASE) to assist in the revision of labeling and bulletins for web slings, roundslings and tie downs. • After over 2 years of work, this project has been completed

  3. Overview of Four-Stage Process for Labeling Development and Evaluation

  4. Phase 1: Project Planning • Kickoff meeting between WSTDA LRC members and ASE (Dr. Stephen Young, Elaine Wisniewski) to discuss project scope, timing and industry history. • ASE and WSTDA LRC had numerous meetings throughout the project, continually refining the work product

  5. Phase 2: Identify and Understand Product Hazards • ASE worked with the LRC to identify topics currently addressed on WSTDA labeling and bulletins, as well as labeling and other materials from existing sling and tie-down manufacturers • ASE developed web survey that queries LRC about current topics on labeling and bulletins • Dr. Young attended two-day Lift-It sling safety seminar in Los Angeles and conducted a survey for seminar attendees regarding impressions of current labeling topics

  6. Phase 3: Develop Warning Prototypes • Based on work performed in Phase 2, ASE and LRC determine messages to convey on revised labeling and bulletins • ASE developed text and/or pictorial prototypes, including layout and design • ASE developed draft prototype labeling and bulletins for web slings, roundslings, and tie downs

  7. Phase 4: Evaluate Warning Prototypes • ASE and LRC identified a sample of product users. • Evaluation focussed on ease-of-reading and comprehension of labeling/bulletins. • Six focus-group meeting (each 90 minutes long) was conducted (two for web slings, two for roundslings, and two for tie downs) • Labeling and bulletins were revised per users comments at each stage

  8. Final Labeling (Web Sling)

  9. Final Bulletin (Web Sling)

  10. Philosophy of Revision • On-product labeling should focus on a core set of important issues—we identified six issues

  11. Philosophy of Revision • The order of the issues is based on: • Before Use (1,2) • During Use (3,4,5) • After Use (6)

  12. Philosophy of Revisions Back Front • On the remaining parts of the labeling, these issues are addressed in greater depth

  13. Philosophy of Revisions • The Bulletin addresses each of these six issues in even further depth

  14. Languages Available For: In 3 Languages: English Spanish French • Web Slings • Roundslings • Tie Downs

  15. Signal Statements 1) Training If you have not been trained, or are unsure - DO NOT USE!!! 2) Inspection • Initial-FREQUENT-Periodic • Normal and Severe • Red Core Yarns • Environmental Statement 3) Wear Protection • Abrasion vs. Cutting • Edge need not be razor sharp • Engineered Protection • Gloves and Cardboard – don’t “cut” it 4) Do Not Exceed WLL Increased tension versus loss of capacity 5) Don’t Stand Under the Load 6) Maintain and Store Machine Washing – No Good!

  16. Summary • We have produced a system of safety information for web slings, roundslings and tie downs • These labels and bulletins can be used not only as a “warning” system but also as part of a larger occupational training system
