SLING AND GROMMET DESIGN
7.1
INTRODUCTION
7.1.1
The following section covers the design of slings and grommets using the loads derived in section 6.
The various factors and their application are illustrated in Figure 5.1 which is for guidance only, and is
not intended to cover every case. In case of any conflict between the flowchart and the text, the text
shall govern.
7.1.2
The principles for design in this document are based on engineered and planned lifts using inspected
and certified rigging. Rigging generally consists of purpose built slings or well-maintained stock slings.
European code EN 13414-3, Ref [17], covers all aspects of lifting with grommets including engineered
lifts and general site activities. This is recognised in the introduction to the EN code where justification
for lower factors of safety on larger diameters is clarified in that the higher diameters are used for
engineered lifts and not general service lifts. For the smaller diameters it is recognised that the use of
these are likely to be based on basic weight and CoG parameters with the lift not fully engineered and
planned. Hence the EN code uses higher safety factors for this size of rigging.
