This is the nominal breaking load on which the design of blocks to this standard is based., The manner of test laid down in schedule II of DOCK Workers (Safety, Health, and Welfare)Regulations, 1990, is as follows:, Article of Gear, Proof Load, Single sheave pulley block, Four times the safe working load, Multiple sheave block with safe working load up to and including 20 tons, Twice the safe working load, Multiple sheave block with safe working load over 20 tons up to and including 40 tons, 20 tons in excess of the safe working load, Multiple sheave block with safe working load over 40 tons, One and a half times the safe working load, Note, Higher capacity pulley blocks manufactured against order., Crane Block, Snatch Block
