STORAGE OF CHAIN SLINGS
When not in use chain slings should be kept on a properly designed rack. They
should not be left lying on the ground where they may be damaged. If the chain
slings are to be left suspended from a crane hook, the chain sling hooks should
be engaged in an upper link to reduce risk of chain sling legs swinging freely or
snagging. If the chain slings are out of use for some time they should be cleaned,
dried and protected from corrosion, e.g. lightly oiled.
