Chain slings, among other lifting equipment attachments, are oftentimes used under heavy loads, shocks, and vibrations that cause it to be exposed to higher levels of wear &#038; tear. If left unchecked or unmaintained, faulty chain slings can lead to catastrophic failure of the lifting mechanism, and pose significant risks to you, your team, your property and the property of others. <\/p>\n<p>Aside from the safety of your workers and of the load you are lifting, chain sling inspections are important for compliance with workplace safety requirements. While different regulatory bodies may have varying levels of safety factors worked into their regulations, it is almost certain that every one of them requires that employers perform regular thorough examinations of lifting equipment and attachments. <\/p>\n<p>Chain sling inspections also ultimately benefit the employers and the business as a whole. While you avoid unnecessary risks and losses due to safety failures or regulatory penalties, these inspections also serve as baselines for your storage and maintenance teams to extend the useful lives of your lifting equipment and attachments. Performing regular safety inspections also builds a culture of safety within your team, and encourages workers to take responsibility for their equipment before and after each use. <\/p>\n\t<h3>When Should I Remove or Replace Chain Slings?<\/h3>\n\t<p>Chain Slings are often subject to high loads and extreme working conditions. Knowing when to remove or replace a damaged sling is just as important as, or even more important than, knowing how to inspect one. While the regulatory rubrics on when to actually recommend the removal of chain slings from operation have some variation, there are a few similar points that will signal that the chain sling is no longer safe to use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Any visible defects such as cracks, excessive wear, bent or twisted links, corrosion, or damage to hooks and fittings.<\/li>\n<li>Missing or illegible manufacturer markings, labels, or identification.<\/li>\n<li>When declared unsafe by the manufacturer or a competent person such as qualified engineers or inspectors.<\/li>\n<li>When the chain sling is involved in an incident or accident, even if it looks fine initially. The sling may have been overloaded, shock-loaded, or have hidden defects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Considering the repair of a damaged chain sling is also a critical decision that you will have to run by your manufacturer or product professionals. It is generally not allowed by safety regulators to perform any repair or modifications on chain sling, such as welding, unless specifically advised otherwise by your supplier. However, if the damage or defects are minor issues, you can expect the sling to be repaired only at a qualified repair facility. Afterwhich, the repaired chain sling must undergo a special inspection before it is certified to return to normal operations.<\/p>\n\t<h3>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n\t<section>\n  <details>\n    <summary>What makes this Chain Sling Inspection Checklist template better than other formats?<\/summary>\n    <p>Unlike most of the chain sling inspection checklist PDFs that you find online, Sitemate&#8217;s Chain Sling Inspection Checklist allows you to specify the type of inspection you are conducting, list down your checklist items, take down notes and attach photos for each of those items, and even sign-off using e-signatures &#8211; digitally, all on one form. <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n  <details>\n    <summary>Does this inspection checklist consider compliance with any safety regulations?<\/summary>\n    <p>Yes, this chain sling inspection checklist was built for compliance with industry-wide regulations, taking requirements from OSHA in America, ISO, HSA in Ireland, and the British Standard into consideration. <\/p>\n  <\/details>\n    <details>\n    <summary>How do I edit the checklist items in the template?<\/summary>\n    <p>Adding, removing, and editing the checklist items is easy with Dashpivot&#8217;s intuitive no-code template builder.
