Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.184(d): Inspections. Each day before being used, the sling and all fastenings and attachments shall be inspected for damage or defects by a competent person designated by the employer. Additional inspections shall be performed during sling use, where service conditions warrant. Damaged or defective slings shall be immediately removed from service. a. On or about January 14, 2023, pre-use inspections were not performed on slings, such as alloy steel chain slings, in use. Employees used an alloy steel chain sling to move steel I-beam materials in the Receiving Area that was missing an identification tag. The sling was not removed from service, thereby exposing employees to struck-by hazard from falling loads.
