Slings
Difficulties occur when lifting heavy, hot, or awkwardly shaped loads. When done in an unsafe manor, serious injuries can occur. The United States Department Of Labor concluded that, “Lifting heavy items is one of the leading causes of injury in the workplace.”. As well, in 2001, The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that, “over 36 percent of injuries involving missed workdays were the result of shoulder and back injuries.”. There are safer and more effective ways of lifting items without resulting in injury. When using a sling to lift heavy, hot, or awkwardly shaped loads the end result will be a properly supported item. Most importantly, choose the appropriate sling for your lift plan.
