Common Rigging Problems and How to Prevent Them

One of the most frequent mistakes in rigging is failing to properly inspect and maintain the lifting equipment. Therefore, it is essential for rigging professionals to understand the do’s and don’ts of rigging heavy loads for lifting.

Rigging crews play a pivotal role where heavy equipment needs to be lifted and moved. From construction sites to manufacturing facilities, these crews face unique challenges that require careful consideration. In this blog post, we’ll explore the world of rigging, focusing on how the appropriate use of chain and sling hoists can not only safeguard the crew and equipment but also boost efficiency and cut costs. Let’s dive in!

Rigging is a necessary activity in industries such as construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and even entertainment. Whether it’s lifting steel beams, assembling machinery, or setting up stages for concerts, rigging professionals ensure that heavy objects are moved safely and effectively.

As long as heavy objects need to be lifted, rigging expertise will be in demand and the demand for skilled riggers remains steady across industries. Riggers who stay up-to-date with safety regulations and master the use of advanced equipment, like chain and sling hoists, will find themselves with valuable and sought-after skills.

Riggers are responsible for securing loads, attaching lifting equipment, and ensuring that the entire lifting process is executed seamlessly. Their knowledge of different types of hoists, slings, and chains is crucial for maintaining safety and efficiency.

A rusty chain or a frayed sling might seem minor, but they can lead to disastrous consequences during a lift. Lifting heavy equipment is inherently risky, making regular inspection and maintenance a critical function. Without the right precautions, there’s a potential for dropped loads, damaged equipment, and even injuries or fatalities. This is where proper training and equipment come into play.

Inadequate training and poor communication can lead to rigging failures. Ignoring load limits, improper sling angles, and using damaged equipment are all recipe for disaster. The good news is that these failures are preventable.

The most important rule during rigging and lifting operations is to follow protocols diligently. This includes conducting pre-lift meetings, ensuring everyone is clear about their roles, adhering to load limits, and maintaining constant communication.

OSHA mandates regular hoist testing to ensure that lifting equipment is in optimal working condition. Hoists should be load tested at 125% of their rated capacity and undergo periodic inspections. Adhering to OSHA’s requirements not only ensures compliance but also safeguards the crew and equipment.

Mastering the art of rigging is a blend of expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to safety. By understanding the unique challenges rigging crews face, acknowledging the risks, and following best practices—especially when it comes to using chain and sling hoists—these crews can ensure smoother operations, protect their team members, and contribute to the overall success of their projects.

Ensuring Workplace Safety: The Importance of Proper OSHA Chain and Sling Hoist Testing

In today’s industrial landscape, workplace safety is paramount. Proper testing and inspection of lifting equipment, such as hoists, chains, and slings used in heavy load handling operations, play a critical role in preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of workers. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of OSHA lifting device testing, exploring the requirements, safety precautions, common problems, and the factors influencing sling safety.

Understanding OSHA Requirements

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) establishes guidelines that govern the use of lifting equipment, including hoists, chains, and slings. OSHA requires thorough testing and inspection of these components to ensure they’re in optimal condition. Lifting device testing is not just a regulatory obligation but a means to safeguard lives. OSHA does indeed require slings to be inspected daily before use.

Daily Sling Inspections: A Must

One of the fundamental aspects of lifting device testing is the daily inspection of slings before use. OSHA mandates that slings must be thoroughly examined for any signs of wear, damage, or deformities. This daily ritual acts as a frontline defense, identifying potential issues that could compromise the safety of lifting operations.

Safety Precautions for Sling Usage

When working with chains and slings, adherence to safety precautions is vital. Workers must be trained to understand the proper methods of handling and attaching slings to loads. Overloading, sudden jerks, and improper angles can all lead to catastrophic failures. Training programs and clear communication protocols are crucial in maintaining a safe working environment.

Common Problems That Halt Sling Usage

Even with proper inspections and precautions, issues may arise that warrant taking a sling out of service. Two common problems include:

    • Visible Wear and Tear: If a sling displays fraying, cuts, or any visible damage, it must be immediately removed from service. Ignoring such signs can lead to sudden failures during lifting operations.
    • Inadequate Load Identification: Each sling has a specific weight capacity. Failure to accurately identify the load’s weight and choosing the appropriate sling can lead to overloading and potential accidents.


Factors Influencing Sling Safety

Sling safety depends on various factors:

    • Sling Angle: The angle at which the sling is used affects its capacity. Angles significantly deviating from vertical can reduce the sling’s lifting capacity, potentially leading to failure.
    • Sling Material and Type: Different slings are designed for specific purposes. Understanding the characteristics of various sling materials (chain, wire rope, synthetic) and configurations (single leg, double leg, multiple leg) is crucial for safe hoisting.
    • Environmental Factors: Harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures or exposure to corrosive substances, can compromise sling integrity over time.


Manufacturing Statistics: The Consequences of Improper Testing

The importance of proper hoist testing is evident in manufacturing statistics. Studies show that a significant percentage of chain and sling hoist failures can be traced back to inadequate testing and inspections. These failures not only result in injuries but also cause financial losses for companies due to halted operations, equipment damage, and legal implications.

In the world of lifting operations, the stakes are high, and safety is non-negotiable. OSHA’s regulations regarding lifting devices, hoists, chains, and slings testing exist to ensure that workers are protected, and operations run smoothly. By adhering to the recommended inspection frequencies, practicing safety precautions, addressing common problems, and considering the factors that influence lifting device safety, companies can mitigate the risk of accidents and create a secure working environment.

Finding and Keeping Skilled Machinists – Recruiting the Best Talent in a Post COVID World

While COVID-19 changed a bit of the landscape with people becoming accustomed to working from home, the machining business is not exactly a profession equipped to be performed outside of the foundry. That does not prevent employees from desiring more flexible hours that afford them the ability to meet, mingle, and socialize with friends and family whose careers do offer work from home opportunities.

So how do you go about attracting top talent in the Machining & Fabrication industry?

  1. Get Involved with Local Vo-Tech Schools
  2. Support Local Scholarships
  3. Post Open CNC Machinist Positions, EVERYWHERE
  4. Empower and Promote Internally
  5. Employee Referrals

It is always a good idea to create a good relationship with local Vo-Tech schools. Offering plant tours, internships, and other activities are great ways to encourage youth into the work force. Offering or supporting scholarships at local schools is also a good strategic plan to cultivate potential future employees. While these are great seeds to plant, it will take time to harvest the fruits of your labor.

Next is the tried and true, if you build it they will come route. Post, post, post, everywhere and anywhere. Every job board from monster to LinkedIn. You also can’t forget the industry association boards, technical and local colleges, and local newspapers. All great places to ensure your job posting gets viewed. This is the hardest of all approaches and you rarely get the best applicants and little to no valid background data that can easily or readily be verified.

Empowering your workforce is always an effective way to build your company’s reputation. Who doesn’t want to work for a company that trusts and empowers its employees? This includes offering employee’s development opportunities that promotes employee engagement that also fulfills company goals.

It also requires full buy-in at the organizational level through a common leadership language. Break the mold by providing equitable access to development opportunities to all employees. Companies that reserve growth and training only for those deemed “high-potentials” quickly result in poor morale and participation.

Now that you have an empowered workforce, it is time to reward them by encouraging them to be brand ambassadors. There is also no one better at identifying the skill gaps than your current employees doing the work. Collaborate with your teams at every opportunity, especially when you need to fill positions.

For managers and HR professionals, this is an excellent time to identify emerging skills among other team members. Instead of replacing outgoing employees with new employees, help lift employees to grow and fill higher-level positions. This is where empowerment and trust are built. It also encourages team members to be more likely to activate their own professional networks to refer their contacts to join the company.

Recruiting doesn’t need to be hard when your employees have been professionally and personally helped to grow in the company. Keep your teams involved in the recruitment process so that they feel comfortable reaching out to their valuable connections.

We recommend all of the above to keep your workforce motivated, positions filled, and culture warm and inviting. All these attributes will create the type of environment anyone would find hard to resist. Lastly, be sure to always promote from within when filling positions. You never know when your next new hire can be filled with the help of a current teammate!
