KBR BG HSE ALERT
CHINESE POLYESTER SLINGS

A damaged polyester sling was discovered during a routine safety
audit. The label indicated "If red core yarns are visible remove the
sling from service". Upon further inspection, the red core warning
yarn was not present. Three similar slings were removed from
service. None of these slings contained red core warning yarn as
indicated on the labels. United Rentals, a supplier of these slings, cut
six polyester slings. All six slings were missing the red core warning
yarn. United Rentals removed this product from their inventory and
will discontinue supplying slings made in China to vendors in the
Charleston, SC region.
