Could you be a bit more specific? For example, what are you lifting and for what purpose? There are different codes of regulation for different industries e.g. 29CFR1910 for General Industry and 29CFR1926 for Construction. I browsed through both of these but couldn't find a definition for a suspended load.

Even suspended platforms should use a 5:1 SF
