Nobody budgets for a dropped load. They also don't budget for rigging inspection, which is how you end up with the first problem. Before the season kicked off, a commercial shipping customer brought their full inventory to ARG Everett - wire rope slings, chain slings, hooks, and hardware. Kameron and Mohammed worked through every piece. A quick visual check isn't enough. Rigging can be compromised at the wire core, inside a fitting, or at a termination point, and none of that shows on the surface. In maritime and military-adjacent environments, there's no such thing as a minor oversight on a lifting component.
A failed sling doesn't just drop a load. It shuts down the job, triggers an incident report, and lands you in litigation. The inspection takes minutes. The aftermath takes months. Don't wait until something hits the ground. Call or stop by any ARG branch to schedule your inspection.
