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
Natural and synthetic fiber rope sling
Synthetic Web Sling
Wire rope sling
Metal mesh sling
  • Alloy steel chain 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.
