• Visual examination - Examine each rope before you start using it to make sure there are no signs of stress or weakening.
• Professional checks - Every month or so you should get a professional to examine the rope to make sure there are no signs of rope stress.
• Do not exceed maximum weight capacity - This is important in making sure the rope keeps its integrity for as long as possible.
• Check the temperature - If you try to use the rope in severe temperatures, it may cause extra wear and tear, or lead it to snap completely.
• Pay extra attention to sheaves and blocks - The rope is most likely to wear or become weaker around blocks or sheaves, so keep an eye out for this during operation.
