Continued Hanes Supply of SC, Inc. CCISCO: 843.238.1338 FAX: 843.238.8337 8 Synthetic Slings Environmental Considerations 1. Slings should be stored in a cool, dry and dark place, and should not be exposed to sunlight, to prevent mechanical or chemical damage when not in use. 2. Chemically active environments can effect the strength of synthetic web slings in varying degrees ranging from none to total degradation. The sling manufacturer should be consulted before slings are used in chemically active environments. A) ACIDS 1. Nylon is subject to degradation in acids, ranging from none to total degradation. 2. Polyester is resistant to many acids, but is subject to degradation, ranging from none to moderate in some acids. 3. Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following: I. Type of Acid II. Exposure conditions III. Concentration IV. Temperature B) ALKALIS 1. Polyester is subject to degradation in alkalis, ranging from none to total degradation. 2. Nylon is resistant to many alkalis, but is subject to degradation ranging from none to moderate in some alkalis. 3. Each application shall be evaluated, taking into consideration the following: I. Type of Alkalis II. Exposure conditions III. Concentration IV. Temperature 4. Nylon and polyester slings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 194° F (90° C), however, they may be used in temperatures as low as -40° F (-40° C). 5. Slings incorporating aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, mists or liquids of alkalis and/or acids are present. 6. Environments in which synthetic webbing slings are continuously exposed to ultra-violet light can affect the strength of synthetic webbing slings in varying degrees ranging from slight to total degradation. a. Factors which affect the degree of strength loss are: 1. Length of time of continuous exposure 2. Sling construction and design 3. Other environmental factors such as weather conditions and geographic location. b. Suggested procedures to minimize the effects of ultra-violet light. 1. Store slings in a cool, dry and dark place when not being used for prolonged periods of time 2. Inspect slings weekly or more often depending on frequency of sling use. c. Visual indications of ultra-violet degradation are: 1. Bleaching out of sling color 2. Increased stiffness of sling material 3. Surface abrasion in areas not normally in contact with the load. d. Proof-Testing - Slings used in environments where they are subject to continuous exposure to ultra-violet light should be proof tested to two times rated capacity annually, or more frequently depending on severity of exposure. Inspection 1. Type of Inspection a. Initial Inspection - Before any new or repaired sling is placed in service, it shall be inspected to insure that the correct sling is being used, as well as to determine that the sling meets the requirements of this specification. b. Frequent Inspection - This inspection should be made by the person handling the sling each time the sling is used. c. Periodic Inspection - This inspection shall be conducted by designated personnel. Frequency of inspection should be based on: 1. Frequency of sling use 2. Severity of service conditions 3. Experience gained on the service life of slings used in similar applications 4. Periodic inspections should be conducted at least monthly. Possible Defects 1. A sling shall be removed from service if any defects such as the following are visible: a. Acid or alkali burns b. Melting, charring, or weld spatter of any part of the sling c. Holes, tears, cuts, snags or embedded particles d. Broken or worn stitching in load bearing splices e. Excessive abrasive wear f. Knots in any part of the sling g. Distortion and excessive pitting or corrosion or broken fittings h. Other apparent defects which cause doubt as to the strength of the sling i. If sling rated capacity or sling material identification is missing or not readable. Inspection Records 1. Written inspection records, utilizing the identification for each sling as established by the user, should be kept on file for all slings. These records should show a description of the new sling and its condition on each subsequent inspection. Repair of Web Slings 1. Slings shall be repaired only by a sling manufacturer. When repaired by other than the original manufacturer, the sling shall be permanently marked to identify the repair agent. 2. All repaired slings shall be proof tested to two (2) times its newly assigned rated capacity, before being put back into service. Certification of proof test should be provided. 3. Temporary repairs of either webbing, fittings, or stitching shall not be permitted. WARNING! Web Slings can be cut by contact with sharp or unprotected load edges. Padding must be used to protect the sling. POLYESTER ROUND SLINGS: Inspection of Polyester Round Slings: Web Sling and Tie Down Association Type of Inspection a.

Continued Operation of Polyester Round Slings: Web Sling and Tie Down Association • Determine weight of the load. The weight of the load shall be within the rated capacity of the polyester round slings(s). • Select a polyester round sling having suitable characteristics for the type of load, hitch and environment. • Polyester round slings shall not be loaded in excess of the rated capacity. Consideration shall be given to the round sling to load angle which affects rated capacities. • Polyester round slings with fittings which are used in a choking hitch shall be of sufficient length to assure that the choking action is on the round sling, and never on the fittings. • Polyester round slings used in a basket hitch shall have the load balanced to prevent slippage. • The openings in fittings shall be the proper shape and size to ensure that the fittings will seat properly on the polyester round sling, crane hook, or other attachments. • Polyester round slings shall always be protected from being cut by sharp comers, sharp edges, protrusions, or abrasive surfaces. • Polyester round slings shall not be dragged on the floor or over an abrasive surface. • Polyester round slings shall not be twisted, shortened, lengthened, tied into knots, or joined by knotting. • Polyester round slings shall not be pulled from under loads when the load is resting on the polyester round sling. • Do not drop polyester round slings equipped with metal fittings, • Polyester round slings that appear to be damaged shall not be used unless inspected and accepted as usable. • The polyester round sling shall be hitched in a manner providing control of the load. • Personnel, and all portions of the human body shall be kept from between the polyester round sling and the load, and from between the polyester round sling and the crane hook or hoist hook. Personnel shall stand clear of the suspended load. • Personnel shall not ride the polyester round sling. • Shock loading shall be avoided. • Twisting the legs (branches) shall be avoided. • Load applied to a hook shall be centered in the bowl of the hook to prevent point loading. • During lifting, with or without the load, personnel shall be alert for possible snagging of the polyester round sling. • The polyester round slings shall be long enough so the rated capacity is adequate when the sling to load angle is taken into consideration. • Only Polyester round slings with legible identification tags shall be used. • Tags and labels should be kept away from the load, hook and point of choke. • The polyester round sling shall not be constricted or bunched between the ears of a clevis or shackle, or in a hook. When a polyester round sling is used with a shackle, it is recommended that it be used (rigged) in the bow of the shackle. • Place blocks under load prior to setting down the load, to allow removal of the polyester round slings, if applicable.
