  1. SAFE PRACTICES TO FOLLOW WHEN USING SLING TECHNIQUES

  2. INSPECT SLINGSREGULARLY Before each use, thoroughly inspect slings for any signs of damage, wear, or deterioration. Look for cuts, fraying, abrasions, knots, or other visible defects. If any issues are detected, remove the sling from service and replace it. Regular inspections help identify potential hazards and prevent accidents.

  3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SLING FOR THE JOB Select slings that are appropriate for the load you're lifting and the environment in which you're working. Different types of slings, such as wire rope slings, chain slings, synthetic web slings, and round slings, have different load capacities and are suitable for specific applications. Consult load charts and guidelines to ensure you're using the correct sling for the load.

  4. PROPERLY RIG THE LOAD Ensure that the load is properly rigged and balanced before lifting. Attach slings to lifting points that are designed and rated for the load. Distribute the load evenly to prevent imbalances that could lead to tipping or shifting during the lift. Use proper rigging hardware, such as shackles and hooks, and make sure they are properly secured and oriented.

  5. USE TAGLINES AND COMMUNICATION Use taglines to control the load's movement during lifting and positioning. This helps prevent unintended swinging or spinning that could lead to accidents. Effective communication among the lifting team members is crucial. Everyone involved should have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, and they should use hand signals or radios to communicate effectively.

  6. AVOIDOVERLOADINGSLINGS Never exceed the rated capacity of a sling. Refer to manufacturer-provided load charts and guidelines to determine the safe working load limit for the specific type of sling, hitch configuration, and angle of the load. Be cautious of shock loads, which can significantly increase the forces on the slings. Consider dynamic factors when calculating load weights.
