direct sunlight or other sources of ultra-violet radiation.
3.14 Prior to placing in storage, slings should be inspected for any
damage which may have occurred during use. Slings should never be
returned damaged to storage.
3.15 Where lifting slings have come into contact with acids and/or alka-
lis, dilution with water or neutralization with suitable media is recom-
mended prior to storage.
Depending on the material of the lifting sling and on the chemicals re-
ferred to in 1, 1.1, it may be necessary in some cases to request from
the supplier additional recommendations on the cleaning procedure to
be followed after the sling has been used in the presence of chemicals.
3.16 Slings which have become wet in use, or as the result of cleaning,
should be hung up and allowed to dry naturally, not near a heat source.
4 Examination and repair
Examination periods should be determined by a competent person,
taking into account the application, environment, frequency of use and
similar matters, but in any event, slings should be visually examined at
least annually by a competent person to establish their fitness for
continued use.
Records of such examinations should be maintained.
Damaged slings should be withdrawn from service. Never attempt to
carry out repairs to the slings yourself.
