Is Your Rigging at Risk? Experts Reveal Critical Inspection Tips

Описание: Explore rigging safety insights. Industry veterans reveal how Qualified inspections and third-party evaluations prevent failures and boost compliance in a deep dive into the essentials of rigging safety practices.

Consistent rigging inspections identify damaged equipment before failures occur, preventing accidents and injuries. Not only do they prevent accidents and injuries, but documented inspections are required for OSHA compliance and can help companies avoid costly fines.

"When you look at the failure criteria for any type of item you're looking at, alloy chain slings, it's obviously written, and it's objective. It tells you a gouge, it tells you a weld burn, it tells you heat damage. But when you start to look at them, it becomes subjective to the person, to the individual actually looking at it. What is a gouge to me, and what is a gouge to you? And how much of a gouge are you going to allow in service? And how much of a gouge am I going to allow?"
