Sling Safety

The ability to handle materials-to move them from one location to another, whether during transit or at the worksite, is vital to all segments of industry. Materials must be moved, for example, for industry to manufacture, sell, and utilize products. In short without materials-handling capability, industry would cease to exist.

This booklet is designed to assist sling operators to understand and comply with OSHA's regulation on slings, published on June 27, 1975.
