  1. Rigging Equipment Safety is the #1 priority

  2. Rigging equipment • Inspect rigging equipment: • Before each shift • As necessary during use • Remove rigging equipment: • If defective • When not in use 2a

  3. Safe working load • Recommended safe load • Mark custom lifting accessories • Proof test to 125 percent 2b

  4. Competent person and inspection • Inspect before each shift • Additional inspections • Remove from service 3a

  5. Alloy steel chains • Attached ID information • Rated capacity in Table H-1 • Chain link wear in Table H-2 4a

  6. Inspect alloy steel chains based on • Frequency of sling use • Severity of service conditions • Nature of lifts made • Experience from other slings 4b

  7. Sling Inspection • Inspect slings every 12 months • Maintain records of inspections 4c

  8. Wire rope • Safe working load • Protruding ends of stands • Don’t use knots • Visible broken wires 5a

  9. Slings general requirements • Don’t use knots • Prevent kinking • Balance loads 7a

  10. Slings general requirements • Use padded slings • Don’t shock load slings • Watch your fingers 7b

  11. Sling attachments and safe operation • Fiber wire core rope slings • Nonfiber core wire rope slings • Proof test 8a

  12. Natural or synthetic fiber rope slings • Table H-15, 16, 17, and 18 apply • Follow mfg. recommendations • Don’t use knots 9a

  13. Splicing natural or synthetic slings • Requirements for full tucks • Don’t use knots • Don’t use clamps • Watch for sharp edges 10a

  14. Remove natural or synthetic slings • Abnormal wear • Powdered fiber • Broken or cut fibers 10b

  15. Remove natural or synthetic slings • Variations in size of strands • Discoloration or rotting • Distortion of hardware 10c

  16. Marking/coding synthetic webbing • Name of manufacturer • Rated capacity • Type of material 11a

  17. Synthetic webbing requirements • Don’t exceed capacity • Uniform thickness • Fittings as strong as sling • Use stitching to attach fittings 11b

  18. Synthetic webbing precautions • Fumes, vapors, sprays, mists, liquids • Nylon web slings 11c

  19. Synthetic webbing precautions • Polyester and polypropylene slings • Temperature restrictions 11d

  20. Remove synthetic webbing • Acid or caustic burns • Melting or charring • Snags, punctures, tears • Distortion of fittings 11e

  21. Shackles and hooks • Table H-19 for safe working loads • Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations • Test hooks 12a
