What is the general industry rigging standard?

• A. 1910.184
• B. 1926.251
• C. 1910.180
• D. B30.5

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that general industry rigging requirements come from OSHA’s general industry regulation for slings and rigging hardware. This standard covers how slings and related rigging gear should be selected, used, inspected, and maintained in typical workplace settings, including what to do with damaged gear, how often to inspect it, and the training workers need to rig loads safely. It’s the version that applies to everyday industrial environments, not construction sites or specialized crane standards. The other references pertain to construction-specific rigging rules or separate consensus standards for rigging equipment, so they don’t apply to the general industry context. That’s why the general industry standard is the correct choice.
