be made by staff that perform the periodic inspections. If written
inspection records are maintained, they should always reference
the unique sling identification number, and be updated to record
the condition of the sling. Not intended to represent all potential

Sling inspection technique
The sling inspection procedure should be thorough, systematic
and consistent; both visual and "hands on" inspection techniques
are recommended. Certain forms of damage are far more discern-
able through hands-on inspection, than by visual inspection. For
example, fabric stiffness, crushed webbing, as well as, thinning
fabric can be identified through tactile inspection. Visual inspec-
tion alone may not reveal all forms of sling damage. Once signs
of damage have been identified, do not downgrade the work
load limit of the sling, with the intent of continuing to use it, but at
limited capacity or frequency. This is sometimes done to get more
service life out of a damaged sling. The operating rule and stand-
ard should be: intact = use; damage = do not use.
Consider the practice of documenting sling inspections through
written inspection records. The documentation should include
information such as: the name of manufacturer, the sling stock
number, width and length, the unique sling identification number
(important in differentiating similar slings), as well as the condition
of the sling. Other important information might also include the
date it was received or put into use at your facility and any special
features (if applicable). A beneficial outcome of an inspection pro-
gram would be the realization of repetitive forms of damage and
the analysis that would lead to specific recommendations.

Lifetime
The life of the sling is individual and depends on how it is used,
washed etc. Before use the sling must be examined according to
description in section 2.02 and if it does not meet the inspection
requirements, it must be discarded if necessary.
