  1. Standard 29 CFR Part 1910.184 Sling and Lifting Devices Training

  2. Today’s agenda • Sling types • Sling and lifting device pre-use inspection • Safety during the lift • After the lift • Conclusion

  3. Introduction Slings and other lifting devices are the assemblies that are used to attach a load to a crane or hoist. Whenever we are engaged in lifting material, we must be aware of the need to operate safely because accidents can impact not only the operator but others in the area.

  4. Types of slings Alloy steel chain sling Natural and synthetic fiber rope sling Synthetic Web Sling Wire rope sling Metal mesh sling

  5. Pre-use inspection • All slings must be visually inspected before use • In general, the inspection should look for: - Damage - Evidence of misuse or abuse - Missing parts NEVER USE A DAMAGED OR DEFECTIVE SLING OR LIFTING DEVICE

  6. Starting the job • Use only rigging and slinging procedures that you have been taught • Verify the weight of the load before lifting • Never modify or alter a sling or lifting device • Place the sling so that it is securely attached to the load NEVER LIFT A LOAD THAT EXCEEDS THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF THE CRANE, HOIST, SLING OR LIFTING DEVICE

  7. Starting the job • The load must be balanced • Pad any sharp edges or protrusions • Never kink slings • Never place fingers or other body parts between the sling or lifting device and the load

  8. During the lift • Do not shock load a sling or lifting device • Never lift a load over people • Be aware of the drop zone and be sure you and others are never in it • Suspended loads must be kept clear of all objects • Do not leave a load suspended above the work surface

  9. Finishing a job • Do not pull slings out from under loads that are resting with their full weight on the assembly • Return slings to their proper storage location • Never leave slings in areas where they could be damaged by heat and corrosive chemicals or by machines, facility vehicles, etc.

  10. Conclusion The person who uses slings, lifting devices, cranes and hoists is in a position of real responsibility: not only for his/her safety but also for the safety of all others in the area.
