The goal of a sling inspection is to evaluate remaining strength in a sling which has been used previously to determine if it is suitable for continued use.
When inspecting wire rope slings, daily visual inspections are intended to detect serious damage or deterioration which would weaken the sling. This inspection is usually performed by the person using the sling in a day-to-day job. The user should look for obvious things, such as broken wires, kinks, crushing, broken attachments, severe corrosion, etc. Any deterioration of the sling which could result in appreciable loss of original strength should be carefully noted and determination made on whether further use would constitute a safety hazard.

Other than twelve months for lifting equipment, proof load tests can be conducted on wire rope before they are even put to work. The standards set by the OSHA and other bodies are there to reduce workplace accidents to a minimum, for both employees and civilians. A lifting machinery accident can result in extreme injuries or even death. Thus, it falls on the employers’ shoulders to conduct these tests and make sure their equipment is in top condition, protecting the lives of their employees in the process.

The proof load test could also save a large sum of money. By making sure the new equipment works flawlessly, employers will not need to spend large sums of cash on repairs and maintenance in the future if they were faulty or broken down too fast. With maximum efficiency, the work itself will be at its finest, too.
