Lifting and moving heavy objects safely is an extremely serious endeavour and can be fraught with danger if the proper precautions aren't taken, which is why the next topic we're covering for our #SafeWorkMonth series is inspections of chain slings.
Beaver G80 & G100 Chain slings are manufactured & tested in accordance with Australian Standard AS3775 Chain Slings should only be used by a competent person.
Here's some of the things you need to do to ensure the safe use and care of chain slings (you can read the full list on our website):
✅Operator to inspect slings for any damage prior to each use
✅Do not use if ID tag is removed or illegible
✅Do not use the chain sling if any signs of defects sighted, such gauges, twists, knots in chain or broken components or links, elongation, excessive heat /chemical damage, excessive wear, or any other sign of defects
✅Never overload the equipment
✅Do not exceed Chain sling WLL & refer to WLL Chart
✅If any visual defects are sighted, then arrange your chain sling to be sent to the nearest Bunzl Safety Branch for repairs and testing
