Identification, Inspection,
Rigging Practices, Weight Table
• Loads should not be rested on the sling
• Slings should not be pulled from under the load when the load is resting in the sling
• Twisting shall be avoided
• During lifting, with or without load, personnel shall be alert for possible snagging
• When using multiple basket or choker hitches, the load should be rigged to prevent the sling from slipping or sliding along the
load
• When using a basket hitch, the legs of the sling should contain or support the load from the sides, above the center of gravity, so
that the load remains under control
• Slings should not be dragged on the floor or over an abrasive surface
• In a choker hitch, the choke point should only be on the sling body, not on a splice or fitting
• In a choker hitch, an angle of choke less than 120 degrees should not be used without reducing the rated load
• Slings should not be constricted, bunched, or pinched by the load, hook, or any fitting
• The load applied to the hook should be centered in the base (bowl) of the hook to prevent point loading on the hook, unless the
hook is designed for point loading
• Slings shall not be shortened or lengthened by knotting or twisting
Environmental Considerations
Temperature
• Polyester and nylon webbing slings shall not be used in contact with an object or at temperatures in excess of 194°F (90°C) or
below (-40°C)
• Some synthetic yarns do not retain their published breaking strength above 140°F (60°C). The roundsling manufacturer should
be consulted for the temperature range of roundslings made from other synthetic materials
Chemically Active Environments
• The strength of synthetic web slings can be degraded by chemically active environments. This includes exposure to chemicals in
the form of solids, liquids, gases, vapors, or fumes. The sling manufacturer or qualified person should be consulted before slings
are used in chemically active environments
