Slings, forklifts, chains or other equipment is often used and although it may not do structural damage, it can damage the protective coatings.

This then has to be repaired, repainted, and inspected.

Proper instructions (and equipment) should be given to the workers and contractors to use web slings or similar covered with a rubber hose or similar soft material to avoid damage to the paint.

Some workers may say don’t bother and that it can be touched up later. But this is not as good as the original paint, and repainting often has to be inspected by a certified paint inspector which can be very expensive and can delay the continuation of the project.

It is cheaper and quicker to do it right the first time.

For example, if the scope calls for a certain size concrete slab, but the client on site asks for it to be made larger, get it in writing before proceeding.

The person you get the written instruction from must be authorized to instruct you (not just a site operator or employee, it should be the project manager or his representative, who should be documented).
