Lifting Shackles

SOP · SOP-60634

  • Crane & Lifting Equipment
  • Reads on any phone

The Lifting Shackles Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) sets out the instructions and safety measures for using lifting shackles, helping businesses stay compliant and protect their workers.

It covers the PPE to wear, the hazards (load drops, crushing injuries, shock loading, improper securing, wear and corrosion), the precautions for selecting and securing shackles, maintenance, and how to prepare the work area and exclusion zone.

A pre-operational inspection and step-by-step operating instructions, from putting on PPE to the test lift and the inspection after use, are followed by an employee training and induction register for recording who has been trained.
