WAC 296-24-29431   Synthetic web slings.  (1) Sling identification. Each sling shall be marked or coded to show the rated capacities for each type of hitch and type of synthetic web material.

     (2) Webbing. Synthetic webbing shall be of uniform thickness and width and selvage edges shall not be split from the webbing's width.

     (3) Fittings. Fittings shall be:

     (a) Of a minimum breaking strength equal to that of the sling; and

     (b) Free of all sharp edges that could in any way damage the webbing.

     (4) Attachment of end fittings to webbing and formation of eyes. Stitching shall be the only method used to attach end fittings to webbing and to form eyes. The thread shall be in an even pattern and contain a sufficient number of stitches to develop the full breaking strength of the sling.

     (5) Sling use. Synthetic web slings illustrated in Figure D-6 shall not be used with loads in excess of the rated capacities specified in Tables D-20 through D-22. Slings not included in these tables shall be used only in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.

     (6) Environmental conditions. When synthetic web slings are used, the following precautions shall be taken:

     (a) Nylon web slings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, mists or liquids of acids or phenolics are present.

     (b) Polyester and polypropylene web slings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, mists or liquids of caustics are present.

     (c) Web slings with aluminum fittings shall not be used where fumes, vapors, sprays, mists or liquids of caustics are present.

     (7) Safe operating temperatures. Synthetic web slings of polyester and nylon shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 180°F. Polypropylene web slings shall not be used at temperatures in excess of 200°F.

     (8) Repairs.

     (a) Synthetic web slings which are repaired shall not be used unless repaired by a sling manufacturer or an equivalent entity.

     (b) Each repaired sling shall be proof tested by the manufacturer or equivalent entity to twice the rated capacity prior to its return to service. The employer shall retain a certificate of the proof test and make it available for examination.

     (c) Slings, including webbing and fittings, which have been repaired in a temporary manner shall not be used.

     (9) Removal from service. Synthetic web slings shall be immediately removed from service if any of the following conditions are present:

     (a) Acid or caustic burns;

     (b) Melting or charring of any part of the sling surface;

     (c) Snags, punctures, tears or cuts;

     (d) Broken or worn stitches; or

     (e) Distortion of fittings.

Notes: Angles of 5° or less from the vertical may be considered vertical angles.
For slings with legs more than 5° off vertical, the actual angle as shown in Figure D-5 must be considered.


EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS: Minimum diameter of curvature

Represents a contact surface which shall have a diameter of curvature at least double the diameter of the rope.
Represents a contact surface which shall have a diameter of curvature at least 8 times the diameter of the rope.
Represents a load in a choker hitch and illustration the rotary force on the load and/or the slippage of the rope in contact with the load. Diameter of curvature of load surface shall be at least double the diameter of the rope.
