Can someone confirm the "recomended" or industry accepted method for vertically slinging scaffold boards or tubes (sometimes multiple numbers) when using a ginny wheel and eletric hoist.
From experience, the suggested way is to use a flexible rope (hesion or nylon), and slipped hitch knot. My question is, can a fibre sling be utilised in such a way? my instinct says not, but our current scaffolders suggest that they are trained to do it this way.

Slings should be wire and double wrapped with the "bites" at each end going in opposite directions

The problem we have is that even though such stuff should be properly slung I doubt that any scaffolder course covers this area of rigging/slinging fully-properly hence we have poorer standards
I have investigated events where staff could not even tie proper knots yet part of their job was the tying of knots - on looking at the course they attended the tying of knots was assumed as against taught
I cannot see that we will easily change the situation in the wider environment - best of luck and I agree with U
