additional fittings and lashing devices, make sure that they fit the
lashing strap.
3. During use, flat hooks must engage over the entire width of the
bearing surface of the hook.
4. Opening the lashing: Before opening, make sure that the cargo is
stable even without being secured and does not endanger
unloading personnel by falling down. If necessary, attach blocking
devices to the cargo that has been planned for further transport
beforehand in order to prevent the load falling or tipping over.
This also applies if one uses tensioning elements that make safe
removal possible.
5. Before starting to unload, you must loosen the lashing until the
load is free.
6. During loading and unloading attention has to be paid to
proximity of any low overhead power lines.
7. The materials from which lashing straps are made have selective
resistance to chemical attacks. Seek the advice of the
manufacturer or supplier if exposure to chemicals is anticipated. It
should be noted that the effects of chemicals may increase with
rising temperatures. The resistance of synthetic fibres to chemical
reactions is summarised below:
