2 . Avoid snatch or shock loading as the safe working load can be exceeded in such circumstances .
Use gradual controlled pulling which maintains stability of the load
3 . Always use gloves when working with a gin wheel to prevent rope burn . Check the gloves are
designed to grip well and do not have a smooth slippery gripping surface
4 . Check the load does not exceed the weight capacity of the components or the ability of workers
to lift it
5 . Check the load is secured properly . Never load the Lifting Hook (12) in front of the Safety Latch
(11) next to the hook tip . Never load the Lifting Hook off the central position and always ensure
the Lifting Hook’s Safety Latch is closed before lifting
6 . Check the bucket or load won’t strike the scaffold or building, causing the load to tip and fall
7 . When lifting, do not stand close to the area under the load . Instead, use the lifting rope at a
diagonal angle
8 . When lifting liquid, cover the bucket so the contents don’t spill
IMPORTANT
: Once the load is lifted to the required height, the load should be removed and the
empty Lifting Hook lowered to ground level immediately .
Note
: It is recommended to do a test lift of a metre or so to check lifting stability to see if the load
securing can be improved especially at higher weight levels .
