Steps
Confirm the sling type (alloy chain, wire rope, metal mesh, synthetic fiber rope, synthetic webbing, or roundsling) to apply the correct inspection criteria under the current B30.9 edition
Perform an initial inspection by a qualified person on any new, repaired, altered, or modified sling before it is put into service
Perform frequent (visual) inspections as the sling is used, with more frequent checks for slings in severe or special service
Perform and document a periodic inspection by a qualified person, adjusting the interval for frequency of use and service severity rather than a single fixed schedule
Remove from service and tag out any sling showing damage or wear criteria the current B30.9 edition identifies as cause for removal
Known gotchas
Inspection intervals under B30.9 are risk-based (frequency of use and service severity), not a single fixed number for every sling — don't apply one blanket schedule to all slings regardless of service conditions
Removal criteria differ by sling material (e.g., wire rope vs. synthetic webbing vs. roundsling) — use the criteria specific to the sling type in the current edition
