Monthly Chain Sling inspection
The Monthly Chain Sling Inspection is a routine visual and physical check conducted every month to ensure that all chain slings used in lifting operations are safe, functional, and compliant with applicable standards (e.g., OSHA, ASME B30.9). The inspection helps detect wear, damage, or deformation early, reducing the risk of failure during lifting operations and maintaining workplace safety.
