L'élingage constitue une part importante des opérations de manutention dans la transformation des matières premières en produits finis. Les appareils de levage chaque jour plus nombreux et plus puissants exigent toutefois que soit établi un dispositif de jonction entre la charge et l'appareil [...] Pour aider l'élingueur dans sa tâche, des élingues et accessoires de tous types sont conçus, mais encore faut-il que le matériel mis à sa disposition soit employé rationnellement, en d'autres termes, que l'élingueur connaisse ce matériel et sache parfaitement l'utiliser [...] Il ne s'agit pas de manœuvrer et déplacer des charges dans l'espace sans connaître et appliquer toutes les règles de sécurité afférentes à la profession d'élingueur.
