Sling protection is a critical consideration for all load handling activities whenever sling damage may occur. While some sling types are more robust than others, \u201ccut proof\u201d slings and\/or sling protection
\ndoes not exist.<\/p>\n

Lift-It Manufacturing Co., Inc.<\/a>, Pomona, CA has completed a 3-year project dedicated to testing and developing a \u201csling protection program\u201d that when used properly will protect slings from cutting and abrasion damage.<\/p>\n

Sling users, industry experts, safety and training professionals provided input which was used by a Human Factors Expert to develop five different sling protection user manuals. The six-page, sling protection user manuals contain warnings and guidance for the proper use and inspection of sling protection. Available in English and Spanish versions, the sling protection user manuals also are the basis for the Lift-It sling protection training program.<\/p>\n

Michael J. Gelskey, Sr., Lift-It<\/a> Owner\/CEO stated, \u201cWe have been passionate about promoting sling protection for 41 years. The copyrighted Lift-It sling protection user manuals\u00a0will be donated to the
\nWeb Sling and Tie Down Association (WSTDA) and hopefully will become the genesis for a sling protection safety standard. Our gift is made with the sole expectation of assisting conscientious riggers
\nin successful load handling activities and is a token of our appreciation to an industry that for many
\nyears has provided a livelihood for our Lift-It<\/a> families\u201d.<\/p>\n
