Soft Lifting Sling

SOP · SOP-60617

  • Version 1
  • Crane & Lifting Equipment
  • Reads on any phone

The Soft Lifting Sling Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) provides instructions for the safe use of soft lifting slings, so lifting operations are efficient and secure.

It covers the hazards (load failure, pinching and crushing, wear and tear, shock loading), the PPE to wear, the work area, precautions, maintenance and the pre-operational inspection, then step-by-step instructions for a controlled lift, from the first inspection to the checks after use.

An employee training and induction register records who has been trained to use soft slings, and a training quiz comes with the original document.
