Use this safety meeting guide to cover best practices for hand-operated chain hoists. Review pre-use inspections for bent handles, stretched chains, broken teeth, and deformed hooks. Verify load weight and hoist capacity, avoid cheater bars and multi-hoist lifts, and ensure anchor points can bear the load and shock forces. Keep clear of the load, center the lift, avoid side loading and sharp edges, and lift smoothly without jerking or bouncing. Never leave a suspended load unattended or allow anyone beneath it.
