Total number of slings.
Is loose and/or missing
stitching present?
On slings with safety
belts, does Velcro or
plastic connector fasten
securely?
Are tears present?
Is excessive wear
present?
Is color fading on
stabilizing handles? *
Is the padding inside the
leg straps smooth? **
*If the color is fading on the stabilizing handles, this indicates the sling is being laundered with bleach or with a harsher detergent than is recommended. The sling must be
removed from service immediately and discarded as bleach or harsh detergent can weaken the fabric and stitching.
**If the padding inside the leg straps is bunched (no longer smooth), this indicates the sling has been dried in a hot dryer. The sling must be removed from service immediately
and discarded as too much heat can damage the sling.
