© 2001 By Default! A Free sample background from Slide 40 Working with lines and rope Gloves Gloves –When working with wire rope, a person must wear gloves. There are many "fishhooks" (fragments of wire) that can cut a hand, and the grease that covers most rope is not good for an open cut.

A Free sample background from Slide 41 Working with lines and rope Gloves Gloves –When handling line, however, a person should generally not wear gloves (avoids getting caught in lay of line) Keep hands at least 18 inches from a bit, pad- eye, or snatch block.

A Free sample background from Slide 42 Working with lines and rope Parting Parting –Wire ropes part just like lines do, and care should be taken not to rush evolutions that involve wire rope. –Although it doesn't tend to snap back like synthetic line, a parting rope or line is dangerous.
