Sling/accessory inspection system
Development of a specific procedure and program for the inspection of
sling/accessory at your facility is your best safeguard. Consider employing a
three part system of inspection. Sling/accessory that are removed from ser-
vice and are not capable of repair should be disposed of so they are unfit for
any future use and can not find a way back into active inventory.
1) Initial
This level of inspection is done at the time that the sling/accessory is received
into your facility. The inspector should ensure that no damage has occurred
during transit, and also verify that the sling/accessory work load limits match
those contained in the manufacturer's catalogue. If your facility documents
the sling inspection process through written inspection records, the paper trail
should begin at this stage.
2) Frequent
The frequent level of inspection should be done by the sling/accessory user
before each use. The sling/accessory should be examined and removed
from service if damage is detected. The sling/accessory user should also
determine that the sling/accessory is proper for the user conditions, care task
required and the required weight capacity.
3) Periodic
Your facility might want to consider implementing a program for a periodic
level of inspection at regular intervals. The interval should be based upon
the frequency of use, severity of the service cycle and information derived
through the inspection process. Recommendations to prevent damage and
enhance service life could be made by staff that perform the periodic inspec-
tions. If written inspection records are maintained, they should always refe-
rence the unique sling identification number, and be updated to record the
condition of the sling. Not intended to represent all potential inspection steps
or all potential aspects of product management program. Judgment of inspec-
tor/site prevails.
Sling/accessory inspection technique
The sling/accessory inspection procedure should be thorough, systematic and
consistent; both visual and "hands on" inspection techniques are recommen-
ded. Certain forms of damage are far more discernable through hands-on
inspection, than by visual inspection. For example, fabric stiffness, crushed
webbing, as well as, thinning fabric can be identified through tactile inspec-
tion. Visual inspection alone may not reveal all forms of sling damage. Once
signs of damage have been identified, do not downgrade the work load limit
of the sling, with the intent of continuing to use it, but at limited capacity or
frequency. This is sometimes done to get more service life out of a damaged
sling/accessory. The operating rule and standard should be: intact = use;
damage = do not use.
