1. Choose lift equipment that is rated for the prescribed load. See equipment
tag.

it is being lifted, and the location and orientation where it will be set down.
3. Use recommended attachment points only. See Section 3.15.
4. Identify and avoid potential
pinch points:
where an individual or a
component of the lifting equipment or load may be caught between two
surfaces.
5. Secure and balance the load in the chain or lifting device before it is lifted
more than a few inches.
