10 Pipe transportation
10.1.1 HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION:
All coated pipes shall be handled by means of wide sling bands or belts to avoid damaging the
coating material, coated pipe shall be handled with wide nonabrasive canvas, leather belts and or
other.
The use of tongs, bare pinch bars, chain slings, rope slings without canvas or composition belt
slings with protruding rivets, pipe hooks without proper padding, or any other handling equipment
found to be damaging to the coating shall not be permitted.
Wherever possible, pipes are transferred either longitudinally from one workplace to another by
