1. Select Qualified Products
Be sure to purchase lifting slings from reputable Brands, and carefully check the product labels to ensure that the selected lifting slings meet the requirements of the manufacturer, Model, safe working load, and the manufacturer's recommended maximum allowable working load.

2. Comprehensive Inspection
Before each use, be sure to thoroughly inspect the lifting sling for signs of wear, tears, deformation, or discoloration, all of which may indicate damage to the lifting sling.

3. Strictly Adhere to Load Limits
Never allow the load of the lifting sling to exceed its safe working load (SWL). This is a key factor in ensuring safety. Exceeding the SWL may cause the lifting sling to break, resulting in serious consequences.

4. Even Force Distribution
During lifting, ensure that the lifting sling is in even contact with the load, avoiding concentration of the load on a single point or edge of the lifting sling, thereby effectively distributing the load pressure.

5. Correct Use of Locking System
If the lifting sling is equipped with locking shackles, ensure correct operation and locking to prevent the load from accidentally slipping during lifting.

6. Secure Fixing and Connection
Use appropriate connectors and ensure that the connections are tight and reliable. At the same time, avoid using worn or deformed connecting pieces to ensure the safety of the lifting process.

7. Record Usage
After each use, detailed records of the lifting sling's usage data should be kept, including usage time, load conditions, etc., to monitor its wear and tear and replace it in a timely manner.

8. Training and Education
Ensure that operators have received specialized training in the use and safe operation of lifting slings to improve their operational skills and safety awareness.

Following these safety standards can effectively prevent accidents and ensure the smooth progress of lifting operations and personnel safety. When performing any lifting task, caution must be exercised, and risky operations must be avoided.
