THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical

means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel

involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualiﬁed in the safe operation of the

equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly secured

loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not

designed.
