Wash. Admin. Code § 296-829-40015 – Make sure loads are attached correctly

(1) You must make sure loads are properly slung so tag lines cannot be drawn up into rotors.
(2) You must make sure precautions are taken on all freely suspended loads to keep hand splices from spinning open or cable clamps from loosening, such as using pressed sleeves or swedged eyes.
(3) You must make sure the weight of the load does not exceed the manufacturer's load ratings.
(4) You must make sure hoist wires and other gear are not attached to or allowed to catch on any fixed structure.
EXEMPTION: This requirement does not apply to pulling lines or conductors that "pay out" from a container or reel.
