What do you inspect for on the nylon for the sling sets?

• A. Grease only
• B. Grease, oil, acid, and foreign matter
• C. Grease and oil only
• D. Foreign matter only

Answer: (B)

Contamination and chemical exposure can weaken nylon and hide damage, so the sling inspection focuses on these hazards. Grease and oil can soak into the fibers, making damage harder to detect and potentially altering the fabric’s properties. Acids and other chemicals can attack nylon, causing softening, swelling, or embrittlement that reduces strength. Foreign matter such as dirt, sand, or grit can become embedded, abrading the weave and concealing cuts or wear. Because each of these can degrade performance or conceal danger, you inspect for all of them—grease, oil, acid, and foreign matter—when checking nylon sling sets.
