2. OSHA and ASME are considerably concerned that the persons picked
for such kind of operations must be skilled and they should be working

requirement to lifting and lowering.
Certain pre requirements are needed in relation to PPE, which

3. Putting in place Pre Operational Checks is critical to supply a higher level of safety. Consider
OSHA 1910.179 (i) (2) to get an concept of the day-to-day safety inspections.
Including:
Activity 1:
Look at the hardware to identify signs of damage or wear.
Activity 2:
Make sure the hydraulic system is free from leaks.
Activity 3:
Check the hooks for signs of damage for example cracks.
Activity 4:
Inspect the ropes and chains for indications of damage or stretching.
Activity 5:
Look for signs of rope reeving.
Common issues that result in accidents are overloading the machinery and poor rigging. Keep
note of these guidelines as OSHA suggests, while it can also help to know other issues, such as
knowing the lifting capacity for the hoist and weight of the object. When working, it should never
exceed the WLL. Proper training is a priority so use of accurate equipment's and user’s manual
may help to complete the work
4. Overall
Staying away from the wide-ranging mistakes with lifting equipment can significantly help to
lower the chance of harm to workers. Before working always conduct the necessary checks
and fully appreciate the load to lift.
