The Empire State Building was completed in 1931. This photo was taken sometime during the construction of that famous building.. I can barely even look at this..
If you're searching for Hoist inspections, you have come to the right place!
Rigging
WRONG WAY RIGHT WAY
Another prime cause of Hoist accidents is due to Poor Rigging.
DSM Hoist will train your operators on proper rigging techniques as well as pre shift inspections & hoist operation.
We provide Rigging Handbooks and pocket charts to aid operators in calculations on the go.
Inspect your equipment before every use.
Every manufacturing facility should provide the proper equipment and have it available for their operator’s use.
The efforts a facility puts into this along with proper education will ease the tension and raise the confidence of operators, greatly decreasing the risks of accidents and injury. Call 1-515-981-5600 and ask to talk with Scott.

Know the capacity of your Crane and Hoist

Also pay close attention to the lower lifting apparatuses (BTHLDs) for working load limit. And know the weight of the material you are lifting!
No you didn't...
Don’t even…..
Pictures (with motion) are worth 2 thousand words.

The older you get, the more fascinating history becomes...
Construction of the iconic Statue of Liberty began in 1875 by a team of skilled workers tasked with bringing this symbol of freedom to life. The workers, consisting of ironworkers, masons, and craftsmen, faced the challenging task of assembling the statue piece by piece.
The ironworkers meticulously connected the intricate framework, standing at over 150 feet tall, which would serve as the foundation for the statue's copper skin. The masons worked diligently to secure the copper pieces, carefully shaping and forming Lady Liberty's distinct features.
Despite facing harsh weather conditions and precarious working environments, the workers persisted with determination and expertise. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail ultimately led to the successful completion of this architectural marvel in 1886.
Through their dedication and skill, these construction workers played a significant role in not only erecting a statue but also in creating a timeless symbol that continues to inspire generations with its message of freedom and opportunity.

Rest, my friend
super heroes?
Safety in the factory and on the work site is by far the highest priority on your list of responsibilities each day. It’s frightening to consider all the scenarios that could happen, especially ones that training would have prevented. You want every employee equipped with knowledge!
If you have a solid training program in place, Hats off to you! That’s so great. If the current training program at your worksite has you feeling even a little bit anxious, hear me today. We can help you. ok, super heroes eradicating danger for all time is a blissful thought, but, can we make injury almost non existent? That IS & will Always be the goal. A majority of worksite accidents are avoidable, if you know
for instance, learning to use tag lines to guide and stabilize a load keeps you out of harms way. Learning how to calculate the “danger zone” in any given situation eliminates the chances of being injured by falling loads and/or flying debris if a BTHLD should fail.. Learning the proper way to PRE-INSPECT your machines & rigging equipment will significantly lower the chance of sling failure. This is just scratching the surface of the topics that we teach.
Please call us; lets talk about getting a training plan in place for your facility.
