NEW YORK — Need the full text for ANSI E1.1 – 2012, which describes the construction and use of wire rope ladders? How about ANSI E1.8-2012, which covers classification, manufacture and structural testing details for loudspeaker enclosures intended for overhead suspension? You can go to the ANSI store at http://webstore.ansi.org, search and find the documents, and download them in PDF format for a fee — $15 for the wire rope info; $40 for the loudspeaker enclosure info. Or you can click on over to http://www.tsp.plasa.org/tsp/documents/published_docs.php and get the same info for free, courtesy of a new alliance between PLASA and ProSight Insurance.
ANSI E1.1 – 2012 and ANSI E1.8-2012 are just two of many published documents now available to people in the lighting, audio, rigging and staging industries free of charge thanks to the PLASA/ProSight alliance. The association and insurance provider have also teamed up with discounts on insurance available to companies using ETCP-certified labor.
For more information on this program, please go to the new joint website created to explain the details at http://plasa.prosightspecialty.com.
