6.9 Sling Replacement and Management
6.9.1 Sling Set (Critical Part) Replacement
Replace the sling set according to the usage of the FROG (see Table 3 in Section 6.3 ). This may be as
frequently as every 3 months for very high use. Irrespective of apparent condition the lifting sling
set should be replaced at least every 12 months.
6.9.2 Sling Set Management
The wire rope sling set supplied for use with the FROG-6 capsule is a critical component. Good
management of sling sets is essential for ensuring safe personnel transfers.
Do
i. Clearly identify that a sling is still within the current inspection / examination period.
ii. Inspect the sling set prior to use. Open the velcro cover and visually check both legs of the
sling set for any signs of mechanical damage or corrosion which may affect the integrity of
the sling set.
iii. Ensure that the sling set is thoroughly examined by a Competent Person at intervals as
specified in Table 3.
iv. Discard slings that have not passed inspection.
v. Use only OEM (original equipment manufacturer) slings as replacement sling sets.
vi. Replace slings according to usage and inspection results.
vii. Remove the velcro cover if a FROG unit or the sling set is to be removed from service for
more than one month.
viii. Store sling sets in dry conditions when not in use.
Do Not
i. Do not use a sling set which has not been visually inspected prior to use.
ii. Do not use a sling set which has not been thoroughly examined by a Competent Person
within the time interval as stated in Table 3. Note: for high and very high use, this frequency
is every 3 months.
iii. Never use a sling set which has been in service for more than 12 months.
iv. Do not leave a sling set in a position where it is vulnerable to mechanical damage or
contamination or where it may come into contact with abrasive or corrosive materials.
v. Do not use a sling set which has incurred mechanical damage - including damaged eyes or
ferrules, kinks, crimps, ‘birdcages’ or broken strands.
vi. Do not secure the high visibility cover along its length with cable ties or similar which will
prevent opening of the cover for inspection of the sling set.
vii. Do not allow the sling set to become immersed in water or to be stored where it may be
subject to sea water spray or fresh water spray.
viii. Do not use non-OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sling sets.
