Carefully following safe working principles of hoist is one of the most effective ways of preventing damage to property and injury to personnel. The operator, serviceman and work manager for the hoist should be familiar with the safe working principles for the hoist. A service organization authorized by the manufacturer can provide training for operating the hoist and any maintenance services needed under a separate agreement.
Misuse of the hoist or improper servicing may result in an accident that cannot be prevented by the safety equipment. Overhead crane operator, operation and safety training will introduce the operator to the essential safe handling of loads with the hoist equipment and safety procedures to follow. Service training can also provide the preventive maintenance requirements of the hoist to prevent equipment failure affecting production and/or safety.
Work management has an important role in implementing the principles for using the hoist safely. Work management must ensure that the hoist and its accessories are fit for the intended purpose, and that servicing and maintenance of the equipment is carried out as scheduled. Management must also ensure that personnel are adequately trained in the safe operation of handling loads
