Inspect Slings Before Using Caution Sticker & Aluminum Sign

Choosing and mounting your reminder

Choose the size that fits your mounting area and can be read from the intended viewing position. Vinyl decals are adhesive labels for suitable surfaces; the aluminum option is a rigid sign. For aluminum, confirm the mounting arrangement before ordering rather than assuming holes or hardware are included.

As general placement guidance, choose a visible fixed surface near the sling storage, selection, or rigging preparation area where the reminder can be read before use. Follow your workplace procedures and equipment manufacturer’s label-location guidance. Apply vinyl decals to a suitable clean, dry surface following the supplied application instructions.

Do not cover sling identification or rating information, equipment nameplates, controls, or other required warnings.

A reminder, not an inspection checklist

This product reminds users to inspect slings before using them. It does not provide inspection criteria for every sling type, record an inspection, or certify that a sling is safe to use. Follow the sling manufacturer’s inspection instructions and your workplace’s procedures. Header appearance alone does not establish OSHA or ANSI compliance.

English and Spanish alternative

For both languages on one decal, see our bilingual Inspect Slings Before Using sticker. That version measures 11 inches wide × 11 inches tall and uses a different, stacked layout.
