Chain Slings
Conduct this inspection to ensure that chains are in good condition and ready for use. For more information see: 29CFR1910.184 and manufacturer documentation.
Location and Type
Maintain a log of all chain slings on the rig. Inspections prior to use and each year are required by law. Good practice instructs that slings should be marked by the manufacturer with the safe working load and the date of manufacture. These tags should not be taken off the sling or otherwise destroyed.
Chain slings should be stored in a clean, dry place where they are protected from the weather and are away from moving equipment. Chains should be hung up and off the floor or deck.
