Accidents often occur because lifting equipment (chains, ropes, straps) fails and loads fall. This risk can be significantly reduced through regular inspections of all lifting equipment.
Your lifting equipment (such as slings, webbing slings, chains, wire ropes, etc.) as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) against falls must be inspected at least once a year by a qualified person.
