Polyester sling is checked periodically and used in accordance with the standards. Some elements to be considered in its use together with storage conditions are:
- The load should be suitable for the weight,
- The operator should be informed about the weight,
- The sling weight table should be examined,
- The descent of the crane hook should be perpendicular to the centre of gravity,
- The load should be encircled with a sling,
- The remaining risk areas around the perimeter should be abandoned during lifting,
- A constant contact should be kept with the operator,
- Unbalanced and overhanging loads should be fixed flat,
- Lowering and lifting processes should be within the knowledge of the operator,
- Sudden oscillatory movements such as rupture should be monitored,
- The load should not slide on the sling,
- The load should not be kept in a sling for a long time,
