Whenever any machine is to be used
efficiently, it is very important to possess proper know how for it. This is
equally applicable in the operation of Chain Hoist too. If any unqualified
person is allocated to operate it then there are chances of mishap and loss to
life and property too.
There should be a rule which only
allows the designated and appropriately qualified personnel are allowed to
operate them. The properly qualified personnel can operate the equipment safely
which shall thereby can extend the equipment’s service life and reduce costs by
avoiding potentially hazardous operations. The physical and mental condition is
equally important along with sound technical knowledge.
The following are some of the points that are to be kept in
mind while choosing the workers for this domain:
·
They must
have normal hearing, vision, and depth perception.
·
It is not advisable
to operate a crane or hoist if they have a known physical condition that would
prevent them from acting quickly in case of an emergency.
·
Operators who
are taking prescribed medication should make sure that the medication will not
impair the ability to operate cranes and hoists safely.
·
Use of
alcohol or drugs is strictly prohibited in the workplace. If you suspect an
operator’s ability to be impaired for this or any other reason, notify a
supervisor immediately
For the knowledge sharing purpose training programs should be
organized along with some practical sessions. The employees shall greatly
benefit from crane and hoist training. The employees should be cautious and not
use homemade, modified, unrated, or in-certified equipment. There should be an
inspection done on timely basis to know about the status of the operators’
knowledge about Chain Hoist.
