To use a building hoist correctly, follow these steps: Ensure the hoist is inspected and certified for safe operation. Check all safety devices, including limit switches and emergency stops, are functioning. Securely attach the load to the hoist's hook, ensuring it's balanced and within weight limits. Never exceed the hoist's capacity. Operate the hoist with caution, avoiding sudden starts or stops. Keep the hoist area clear of people and obstacles. Use a tag line to guide the load if necessary. Always lower the hoist when not in use and secure it against wind or other forces. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to prevent accidents.
