Today, construction specialties are becoming increasingly popular among young people, as they are well paid and builders never remain without work. There are three times more vacancies in construction specialties in the labor market than in other areas of the economy and production.

The slinger profession is securing the loads that the crane moves. Without qualified special preparation, these types of work are prohibited under the existing Russian legislation and the requirements of the Ministry of Labor Protection.
The word sling is borrowed from marine terminology. It is used if you need to hang some goods.
Since the slinger must monitor the location of the cargo during movement, its correct distribution and timely removal of the transported cargo - his work is very responsible.
Specialists are taught a variety of existing specific words. This is a very important point, since a misunderstood team can lead to serious negative consequences during construction.

Also, the slinger must be able to correctly select the slings for certain loads of different weights and sizes.
Workers slingers must undergo annual professional certification, as well as continuing education courses. Further training is necessary to study new types of lifting equipment, new methods of sling and fixtures, as well as types of cargo fasteners.
