Slings
  • Slings are often used when moving large, bulky, or heavy loads of materials.

Slings are often used along with powered industrial trucks, cranes, hoists, and derricks when moving materials, especially large, bulky, or heavy loads. If the slings are not rigged, arranged, and maintained, serious injuries or fatalities can occur from falling loads.

Slings must be inspected regularly and defected slings taken out of service.

In addition, workers should be trained to use the slings, including in proper rigging techniques for the equipment they will be using slings with.
