What is required on all types of slings for safety compliance?

All types of slings must have rated capacity markings to ensure safety compliance. These markings provide vital information about the maximum load that the sling can safely handle. It is essential for operators and handlers to know the rated capacity to avoid overloading, which can lead to equipment failure and serious accidents.

The rated capacity helps in making safe lifting decisions and ensures that the correct sling is chosen for specific loads. Without this information, there's a significant risk of using a sling that cannot support the weight, thereby compromising safety standards. Thus, having clear and visible rated capacity markings is a critical requirement for the safe use of slings in any lifting operation.
