Factor of Safety to BS 5950

(OP)
Can anyone advise me no the factor of safety I should be using on temporary Lifting eyes on steel modules designed to BS 5950 which require to be lifted into place using either a mobile or tower crane?

Normally I would design lifting eyes with the safe working load as a factor of 4 applied to yield and the proof load twice the SWL.

Slings and Shackles would normally have a safety factor of 6
