THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting 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equipmentwhoarecareful,competent,trained,andqualied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 securing loads, overloading, off–centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using
equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
