Instructions for the safe use & care of webbing & round slingsUsing Webbing Slings & Round Slings Examine the slings prior to use and ensure that their identification and specification are correct. Never use a sling which is defective or unidentified. Never overload a sling. Use the correct mode factor. Always follow good
sling practice; plan the slinging,
lifting and lowering operations before starting. Always ensure the stitching is placed in the standing part of the sling, away from the load, hooks or other lifting devices. Slings must be protected from all sharp edges, friction and abrasion. Extra attention must be given to load stability when slings are used in a basket hitch. Where more than one sling is used to lift a load, these slings should be identical and should be selected such that the sling forming each leg is not overloaded and the load remains balanced and stable.
