 abrasions.
 Rig loads off load-bearing structural
members only after prior approval.
Do not rig from process piping.
 Do not modify, repair, shorten, or
lengthen slings. Verify that the
manufacturer's safe working load
(SWL) and serial number are clearly
marked on each sling.
 Does not use sling angles less than
30 degrees above the horizontal?
The recommended safe working
angle is 60 degrees above the
horizontal.
 Completely close/bolt shackles and
other connecting devices.
 Do not use fasteners or other rigging
hardware manufactured in-house.
 Ensure a rigger certified per the
requirements of Gl #7.025 inspects
all slings, fittings, and shackles
before each use.
 Inspect slings and other rigging
hardware per applicable standards
every 6 months using a certified
rigger.
 Maintain a job-site log of slings that
identifies the sling and periodic
inspection results. Record defective
slings in the log and remove them
promptly from the job site.
 Inspect and certify all "A-Frames" by
a certified inspector prior to
attaching any rigging equipment.
