DSM Hoist Safety Tips

The way that you store your chain plays a huge role in life expectancy.

Ensure that you are storing chain in a clean, dry environment with ventilation. Never store them in a place where they are exposed to weather. Oil or lube the chains before they are placed in prolonged storage. Keep them organized for future use (adding, it makes periodic inspections go much easier too.)

OSHA 1926.1427 (b) Operator Training - The employer must provide each operator-in-training with sufficient training through a combination of formal & practical instruction to ensure that the operator-in-training develops the skills, knowledge, and ability to recognize and avert risk necessary to operate the equipment safely for assigned work.
