Safe Working Load (SWL) –

The load that the lifting equipment can safely

contain (in the case of a cargo container or
personnel basket, the SWL refers the "payload")

or lift (in the case of wire rope, chain hoist or other

listed lifting equipment not specifically designed to
hold cargo, the SWL refer to lifting capacity).

Purpose:

We Know: Lifting equipment shall not be used unless it is of good

Construction and mechanical integrity.

This company “standard and practices” on management of lifting

equipment is to ensure that facility Slings, containers, shackles,
etc remain safe for their Intended use and are tested/inspected
accordingly.
