WSTDA Warning Products Policy

Last fall, WSTDA unveiled a new set of warnings products available in English, Spanish and French. The new warnings include fabric warning labels for web slings, round slings and tie downs and paper safety bulletins for web slings, round slings and tie downs.

WSTDA’s Legal Resource Committee developed uniform/ defensible product warnings, in conjunction with Dr. Stephen Young, Applied Safety and Ergonomics, Inc. (ASE), a human factors expert. The Association has committed tremendous resources toward this initiative over the past three years.

As a reminder, WSTDA has copyrighted its warning labels and bulletins. The Association’s policy is that all Regular members are permitted to purchase the warning labels and bulletins from WSTDA, which include the WSTDA insignia. Use of the WSTDA insignia on warning products not furnished by WSTDA is prohibited.

Some members have inquired about the availability of a licensing agreement, enabling them to print the labels and bulletins overseas for use with their products. We have made these agreements available to some companies, at their request. Anyone interested in purchasing a licensing agreement should contact WSTDA headquarters at 443.640-1070 to discuss terms.

Please feel free to contact WSTDA staff if you have additional questions about WSTDA’s policy or the availability of our new warnings products.
