All lifting slings and round slings in the Netherlands must comply with NEN-EN 1492-1 and NEN-EN 1492-2 standards. According to these standards, every round sling or lifting sling must be fitted with a label clearly showing the maximum working load. Also, the product must not show any tears, stitching errors, or other defects.

To ensure that your products meet legal requirements, you can have them inspected annually. This is not only necessary but also mandatory. Zwarts Veiligheid en Techniek can also arrange this inspection for you! Contact us here.

Every year, lifting equipment must be inspected according to the Working Conditions Act. This is because, in the sense of the Working Conditions Act, lifting equipment is considered work equipment. A yearly inspection is therefore mandatory.

Currently, EU Directive 2006/42/EC is in force. This directive will remain valid until Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 replaces it in 2027.

In short, the directive and the regulation guarantee the safety and health of both the user and the manufacturer of lifting equipment.

Manufacturers must, among other things:
- Conduct a risk analysis
- Draw up an EC declaration of conformity
- Affix a CE mark.

From the aforementioned European standards, for example, NEN-EN 1492-1 and NEN-EN 1492-2 originated. These specify that a webbing sling or round sling must have a certain color for a certain WLL and what information must be included on the label.

Yes, this is allowed. This is only allowed if you can demonstrably prove that you have sufficient knowledge of the laws and regulations, standards, and the technology of a lifting device. You can acquire this knowledge through courses at, for example, EKH and TCVT.

Do you have insufficient knowledge or time to carry out the inspections yourself? Then it is advisable to outsource this to an expert party with the necessary expertise.

Which PPE is mandatory depends on the hazards that may occur at your workplace.

• Safety helmet: Protection against falling objects.
• Work gloves: Hand protection.
• Safety shoes: Foot protection.
• Safety glasses: Eye protection.
• Fall protection (harness): Protection against falls when working at height.
• Hearing protection (optional): Protection against noise.
• High-visibility clothing: Visibility when working in busy environments.

Your employer must provide you with the correct PPE if one or more of the above-mentioned safety risks are present at your workplace.

Every accident is different, but there are similarities to be seen in the accidents. By far the most common cause is the load coming loose. Far below that is a lifting device breaking.

To minimize the risk of accidents, it is wise to have your lifting equipment inspected annually.

• The maximum working load
• Sharp edges
• Are the slings correctly attached
