    TOOLBOX TALK – TT27 LIFTING ACCESSORIES

    OVERVIEW, This talk will cover: SLINGS, CHAINS, SHACKLES, HOOKS & EYEBOLTS.

    SLINGS

  • Check the SWL on the sling against load to be lifted.
  • Rope slings need not be marked with the SWL, provided that a certificate of test is available and the SWL is known.
  • Don’t use fibre rope or wire slings for hot loads and keep them away from welding or flame-cutting operations.
  • Ensure no broken ends in wires or chafing on fibre ropes.
  • Check condition of splices, rings and thimbles on slings.
  • Protect wire rope or nylon slings from sharp edges.

    • CHAINS

  • Make sure that the chain is not kinked or twisted.
  • Don’t shorten a chain by knotting it.
  • Never lengthen a chain by joining pieces together.
  • Don’t lubricate chain slings – oil can pick up abrasive materials such as sand or grit.
  • Don’t expose chains to acids or corrosive substances

    • SHACKLES

  • Use the right type of shackle for the job in hand.
  • Don’t use any shackle which isn’t marked with the SWL.
  • Check the bow and pin for damage, destroy if doubtful.
  • Ensure the pin is free, but not loose, in tapped hole.
  • When using a shackle with a ‘nut and bolt’ pin, the pin should be free to rotate when nut is tight.

    • HOOKS & EYEBOLTS

  • Check both hooks and eyebolts carefully for cracks, cuts, dents and corrosion pits.
  • Swivel hooks should rotate freely.
  • Always mouse hooks unless fitted, with a safety catch and make sure the catch operates freely.
  • Check the centre line of the eye is central with threaded portion.

    • Do you have any questions for me?

    REMEMBER A CHAIN IS ONLY AS STRONG AS IT’S WEAKEST LINK – KNOW THE SWL OF ALL LIFTING GEAR
