Factor of Safety • A factor of safety is applied to a rigging system after all •



known loads and strengths have been considered. It is intended to allow for unknown variability of material, deterioration of equipment over time, acceleration and other unforeseeable loads, and the like. The usual factor of safety is 5 (1 : 5)

• The Breaking Strength • Factor of safety = -------------------------------------------• Force to be applied OSHA Office of Training & Education

CATALOGUE BREAKING STRENGTH OF ROPE --------------------------------FACTOR OF SAFETY CATALOGUE BREAKING STRENGTH OF ROPE ------------------------5

EXAMPLE: If the wire rope catalogue gives the breaking strength of the rope as 10 tons, the maximum safe working load is’ 10 tons Max. S.W.L. = = 2 tons 5 OSHA Office of Training & Education

SAFE WORKING LOAD Rule of Thumb of Computing Rope S.W.L. S.W.L. = Rope Diameter x Rope Diameter x 8 EXAMPLE: (a) 1/2 inch diameter rope SWL = 1/2 x 1/2 x 8 = 2 tons (b) 5/8 inch diameter rope SWL = 5/8 x 5/8 x 8 = 3.125 tons (c) I inch diameter rope SWL = 1 x 1 x 8 = 8 tons OSHA Office of Training & Education

Sling Inspection Inspect slings:

 Each day before use  Where service conditions warrant Remove them from service if damaged or defective

OSHA Office of Training & Education

13

Alloy Steel Chains •Adapts to shape of the load •Can damage by sudden shocks •Best choice for hoisting very hot materials •When one link in a chain fails, the load will come down. •Must have an affixed tag stating size, grade, rated capacity, and sling manufacturer

Inspection of Chain • Must be visually inspected prior to use. • Pay special attention to any stretching •

(any elongation from the original length. The diameter of the worn chain link should be measured at the point of the greatest wear and compare with minimum allowable diameters in tables.

Synthetic Web Sling Stitching

Stitching



Stitching is the only method allowed to attach end fittings to webbing, or to form eyes OSHA Office of Training & Education

Synthetic Web Slings Remove from Service •

Remove from service if any of these are present: Acid or caustic burns Melting or charring of any part Snags, punctures, tears or cuts Broken or worn stitches Distortion of fittings OSHA Office of Training & Education
