Please note:
Within the Federal Republic of Germany
operators of
air hoists must comply with trade association accident
prevention regulations and rules, as well as state
occupational safety regulations, in particular
BGV A1 accident prevention regulations ˝Principles of
Prevention˝
BGV D8 accident prevention regulations ˝Winches,
Lifting and Pulling Devices˝
BGR 258 trade association regulations ˝Operation of
Load-Carrying Devices Used with Lifting Equipment˝
and, for air hoists installed in trolleys and for the
operation of monorail hoists, additionally with
BGV D6 ˝Accident Prevention Regulations for Cranes˝
in the respective currently applicable version.
Operators must also initiate the prescribed tests
(see also ˝Principles for the Testing of Cranes˝
BGG 905 (ZH 1/27).
To document the tests we recommend the “Inspection
log for cranes” BGG 943 (ZH 1/29) from the trade asso-
ciation.
When operating air hoists in areas with explosive
atmospheres, the operator must comply with the
relevant explosion protection regulations, e.g.

BGR 132 ˝Prevention of Ignition Hazards due to
Electrostatic Charges˝
In all other countries,
the operator shall comply with
local regulations as applicable.
Special regulations may apply when incorporating air
hoists into other installations or using air hoists under
unusual conditions.
