Can a building hoist be used in windy or rainy weather?

The use of a building hoist in windy or rainy weather is generally not recommended due to safety concerns. Wind can cause instability and swaying of the hoist, while rain can lead to slippery conditions and electrical hazards. Most hoist manufacturers and safety guidelines advise against operating hoists in such conditions. However, if absolutely necessary, it should be done with extreme caution, following specific safety protocols, and ensuring all necessary weatherproofing and stability measures are in place. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines and local regulations before operating a hoist in adverse weather.
