A visual inspection shall be performed by the user or designated person each day before the rigging hardware is used. A periodic inspection shall be
performed by a designated person, at least annually. The rigging hardware shall be examined and a determination made as to whether they constitute a
hazard. Written records are not required.
Semi-permanent and inaccessible locations where frequent inspections are not feasible, shall have periodic inspections performed.
REJECTION CRITERIA PER ASME B30.26
• Missing or illegible manufacturer’s name or trademark Additionally inspect wire rope clips for:
and/or rated load identification (or size as required). • Insufficient number of clips.
• A 10% or more reduction of the original dimension. • Incorrect spacing between clips.
• Bent, twisted, distorted, stretched, elongated, cracked • Improperly tightened clips.
or broken load bearing components. • Indications of damaged wire rope or wire rope slippage.
• Excessive nicks, gouges, pitting, and corrosion. • Improper assembly.
• Indications of heat damage including weld spatter
or arc strikes, evidence of unauthorized welding. Additionally, inspect wedge sockets for:
• Loose or missing nuts, bolts, cotter pins, snap rings, • Indications of damaged wire rope or wire rope slippage.

Some standards may require a minimum of 3 wire rope clips. The number of clips shown (see Table) is based upon using RRL or RLL wire rope, 6 x 19
or 6 x 37 Class, FC or IWRC; IPS or EIP, EIPS. The number of clips shown also applies to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope, 8 x 19 Class, IPS, EIP, EIPS
sizes 1-1/2 inch and smaller; and to rotation-resistant RRL wire rope, 19 x 7 Class, IPS, EIP, EIPS sizes 1-3/4 inch and smaller. If a pulley (sheave) is
used for turning back the wire rope, add one additional clip. Clips are 80% efficient under 1" and 90% 1" and above.

The Basic Rigging Plan
1. Who is responsible (competent) for the rigging?
2. Has communications been established?
3. Is the rigging in acceptable condition?
4. Is the rigging appropriate for lifting?
5. Does the rigging have proper identification?
6. Does all gear have known working load limits?
7. What is the weight of the load?
8. Where is the load’s center of gravity?
9. What is the sling angle?
10. Will there be any side or angular loading?
11. Are the slings padded against corners, edges,
protrusions or abrasive surfaces?
12. Are the working load limits adequate?
13. Is the load rigged to the center of gravity?
14. Is the hitch appropriate for the load?
15. Is a tag line required to control load?
16. Will personnel be clear of suspended loads?
17. Is there any possibility of fouling?
18. Will the load lift level and be stable?
19. Any unusual environmental concerns?
20. Any special requirements?
The rigging must be used within manufacturer’s recommendations
and industry standards that include OSHA, ASME, ANSI, API and others.
