Give this sling a proper retirement

1910.184(d)

Inspections. Each day before being used, the sling and all fastenings and attachments shall be inspected for damage or defects by a competent person designated by the employer. Additional inspections shall be performed during sling use, where service conditions warrant. Damaged or defective slings shall be immediately removed from service.

While this post is about Disposal of your synthetic slings, we need to touch base on OSHA’s requirement for sling inspections, record keeping and disposal of damaged slings.

Now we can all figure out what “immediately remove from service.” means. But lets go a few steps further.

  1. Move it completely away from the working slings that are still in use. You don’t want it to accidentally be picked up in a rush and used by another operator.

  2. Document it’s removal in your inspection reports.

  3. Disassemble synthetic sling by cutting the eye of the sling. This will, in most cases, render it unusable and unrepairable. If the sling body is lengthy, consider cutting into 4 foot sections to ensure its retirement.

  4. Cut away the ID Tag from the sling.

  5. Now it is ready to toss into recycling.

An incredibly damaged sling in our example, (and way past retirement), but for more information on daily sling inspections, go to https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.184

And call us at 515-981-5600 for comprehensive BTHLD inspections that are needed periodically, in intervals not to exceed 12 months.

des moines rigging training

Rigging is an intricate dance of balance and precision. And at the heart of this delicate operation lies one fundamental principle: centering the load.
When it comes to rigging, ensuring that the load is properly centered is paramount. This crucial step is often the difference between a smooth, hassle-free lift and a potential disaster.
By centering the load, we distribute its weight evenly, minimizing the risks of accidents, keeping product from damage, and protecting the lifting equipment from overly excessive strain. Proper weight distribution results in smoother movements and a rigging system that will be correctly & fully utilized without exceeding its safe operational limits.

If you are lifting an asymmetrical load, use Rigging equipment that is specially designed to handle your scenario. And ensure that there is mandatory proper training to use this special BTHLD. 1. it’ll keep operators safe 2. saves potential damage to the payload 3. saves costly accidents 4. avoids downtime 5. + you avoid delays in project completion.
