Lifting whips and slings require regular inspection to ensure they are safe for use. While specific inspection checklists can vary, key areas to check include the sling material, hardware, and overall condition. Inspections should be performed by a competent person. [1] [2]
General areas of inspection should include:
- Material: Look for cuts, frays, abrasions, or discoloration.
- Hardware: Inspect for deformation, cracks, or corrosion on hooks, rings, and links.
- Overall Condition: Check for any signs of stretching, kinking, or damage that could compromise the sling's strength.
Important Safety Note:
Always verify safety information with your organization's specific guidelines and local regulations.
