Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Whenever any sling is used, the following
						practices shall be enforced:
(1) Slings that
						are damaged or defective shall not be used.
(2) Chain or wire rope slings shall not be
						shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices.
(3) Slings shall not be kinked, or
						knotted.
(4) Slings shall not be
						loaded in excess of their rated capacities as prescribed by the sling
						manufacturer on the identification markings permanently affixed to the
						sling.
(5) Slings used in a basket
						hitch shall have the loads balanced to prevent slippage.
(6) Slings shall be set to avoid
						slippage.
(7) Slings shall be
						padded or protected from the sharp edges of their loads.
(8) Suspended loads shall be kept clear of
						all obstructions.
(9) All employees
						shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads. (See
						Section 5002).
(10) Hands or fingers shall not be placed
						between the sling and its load while the sling is being tightened around the
						load.
(11) Shock loading is
						prohibited.
(12) A sling shall not
						be pulled from under a load when the load is resting on the sling and damage to
						the sling may result.
(13) Tables
						S-1 and S-2 shall be used to determine the maximum safe working loads of
						various sizes of wrought iron and alloy steel chains and chain slings, except
						that higher safe working loads are permissible when recommended by the
						manufacturer for specific, identifiable products. Proof coil steel chain, also
						known as common or hardware chain, or other chain not recommended for slinging
						or hoisting by the manufacturer, shall not be used for hoisting
						purposes.
(14) Wrought iron chains
						in constant use shall be annealed or normalized at intervals not exceeding 6
						months when recommended by the manufacturer. The chain manufacturer shall be
						consulted for recommended procedures for annealing or normalizing. Alloy chains
						shall not be annealed.
(15)
						Employers shall not use slings without affixed and legible identification
						markings.
