Use of load bearing and fastening
equipment
…………………………………
WARNING!
Risk of injury when using lifting gear!
Improper use of load bearing equipment (ropes,
chains, belts) and fastening equipment (load
hooks, bottom hook block) can cause hazardous
situations.
– Before using lifting gear and load bearing
equipment, perform a visual inspection to
check for damage, deformation and wear.
Do not use damaged parts.
– Use lifting gear and load bearing
equipment with a sufficient load bearing
capacity for the load. Use suitable ropes,
chains and lifting belts in accordance with
the dimensions and weight of the load
being lifted. Do not overload fastening
equipment.
– Use edge protectors or a crossbeam when
lifting sharp-edged loads.
– Position the load hook above the centre of
gravity of the load.
– During the lifting procedure, observe
whether the fastening equipment takes
hold in the designated positions, whether
the transportation position remains
unchanged when lifting and make sure the
load does not become caught. In case of
any variation, immediately stop the lifting
the process.
– Protect fastening equipment from sharp-
edged parts of loads.
– During the lifting procedure, ensure
nobody is in the falling and swinging range
of the load.
– The angle of inclination must never exceed
60°.
– When guiding fastening equipment, always
take hold of it above the load.
– Wear personal safety clothing and
equipment at all times for all work.
