| 2. Non-repairable rigging equipment should be destroyed promptly True/False | True |
| 3. The frequency of periodic inspection is determined by the __ and ___ | service conditions, rate of use |
| 4. Sections of rope with frequent cycles of loading and bends ( such as over pulleys or around loads) are particularly prone to failure due to ___ | fatigue |
| 5. After a wire rope has been in service for a short while, its braking strength actually increases slightly. True/False | True page 47 |
| 6. Wire ropes cannot tolerate small numbers of broken wires and should be removed from service. True/False | False can tolerate small numbers of broken wires |
| 7. List four signs of corrosion | discolored wire, rusty residue, rough or pitted surface, slackness in strands |
| 8. ___ is caused by the tightening of a loop that is restrained from untwisting | kinking |
| 9. Wear on wire rope is quantified by periodically measuring the rope's diameter. Wire rope should be replaced when the diameter reduction exceeds the allowable tolerance True/False | True p.47 |
| 10. What is meant by rope "bird caging" | the outer strands separate and open |
| 11. Mold or mildew may be present in a rope that is repeatedly exposed to moisture and not dried promptly. Does not affect strength of natural fiber rope but weakens synthethic fiber rope. True/ False | False the opposite. not synthetic but does affect natural |

| 15. Identify the types of web and round sling damage | excessive wear, surface cut, edge cut, puncture, melting/charring, acid damage |
| 16. Chain relies on load-bearing elements that are arranged in ___. The failure of any single link in a chain causes the __ of the entire chain | series, complete failure |
| 17. Chain is designed to elongate, giving it a resemblance to a figure eight. This occurs before breaking, providing a visual indication that the chain must be replaced. True/False | True |
| 18. What are some of the signs of damage one might expect to see occur to attachment hardware | cuts, gouges, cracks, breaks, corrosion, and pitting |
| 19. What is the minimum recommended information that should appear on a rigging inspection record. | serial number, manufacuturer, size, rated capacity, attachments, condition notations for each component, and whether the component must be removed from service pg 52 ? |
