What are the safety measures for using manual lifting devices?

Safety measures for using manual lifting devices include inspecting equipment for damage before use, ensuring the load is within the device's weight capacity, using proper lifting techniques, maintaining a clear path for lifting, and securing the load to prevent shifting. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety shoes. Never exceed the rated capacity of the lifting device, and avoid sudden or jerky movements that could cause loss of control. Regular maintenance and training on safe lifting practices are also crucial to prevent accidents.
