Crane and lifting accidents are often caused by the use of defective slings. Even in sound condition, if
slings and lifting gear are used incorrectly, accidents can still occur.
It is important that you select the correct type of slings:
? to ensure the lift is carried out without any risk of injury to people;
? to prevent damage to the slings; and
? to prevent damage to the load.
