Drops Safety slings have appeared all over the rig - this infestation of wire slings and nets was brought to us by the use of one particular bit of kit.. I give you the Beam clamp - A device used to mount items in places where no holes can be drilled and therefore no good fixings (secondary retention) can be fitted... which is why we add 'secondary retention' in the form of slings... If you can Drill a hole then do it! and secure your equipment correctly.. DO NOT fit a safety sling to a beam clamp and DO NOT assume items are safe just because they have a safety sling.
