David,
Uniform loading and quality control, can you be a bit more specific.
Uniform loading to me = balance. Where does the QC come in?
regards

The reason I ask is that this the following question has come up in a college assignment and I have tried researching this particular question but to no joy.
The assignment is about LOLER and slinging and states:
Explain the uniform load method that is applied to slinging and how this helps with quality control ?
Any guidance on where I maybe able to research this question would be appreciated.

There are 2 methods for rating slings the 'uniform load method' and the 'trigonometric method'. As regards quality control I can only assume that the former method is more widely used as it is inherently safer and easier to calculate.

Slightly tongue in cheek ...
Uniform load method easier to use -> less mistakes likely -> fewer loads dropped -> less damage caused to product -> quality maintained
???? that's the best I can do :-)

Could it also have something to do with the style of slinging and load supports?
We used to load to first floor level using a flat platform with slings to one lifthook.
Loads of damage caused to the edges of wood and other materials. We then took stock of the platform design, and changed to a full frame that is square at top and bottom,like a stillage in shape, but heavier duty sides leading up to hook points on each corner, then to the single hoist hook.
This stopped all pressure on the sides of the loads, making the quality of delivered goods back up to 100% with no damages.
The actual lift from one hook hasn't changed - it's the depth of the platform and side restraints on the full frame that make the lift more effective and deliver a quality unbroken item each time.
Is this the type of scenario that you are looking for as part of your findings?
