It is critical to understand the working load limit of the strap and ensure that the load being lifted does not exceed it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Inspection:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Before each usage, properly examine the rigging straps for evidence of corrosion, wear, or degradation.
