BASIC RULES ... 1<br />
1.1 KNOW THE LOAD WEIGHT.<br />
Lifting any load with gear which is inadequate for the job is just not an<br />
option. Commonsense tells you this is dangerous.<br />
Before carrying out a lift, there are TWO factors which MUST be known:<br />
a) The weight of the object or material being lifted<br />
b) The lifting capacity of the tackle<br />

Details of the lifting capacities of common <strong>slinging</strong> systems are shown in<br />
a separate section (Section 2).
