When using chain hoists on construction sites, a series of preventive measures must be taken to ensure safety, efficiency, and avoid potential accidents. Here are some key preventive measures:

1、 Preparation before operation

Check equipment:

Before each use, conduct a comprehensive inspection of the chain hoist, including the chain, hook, braking system, electrical components (if applicable), etc., to ensure that there is no damage, looseness, corrosion, and compliance with safety standards.

Check the rated load capacity of the equipment to ensure that it does not exceed its carrying capacity for operation.

Read and understand the operation manual:

Operators should carefully read and understand the operation manual of the chain hoist, understand the working principle, operating steps, safety precautions, and maintenance requirements of the equipment.

Training and Qualification:

Ensure that operators have received professional training, possess corresponding operating qualifications and certificates, and are familiar with safety regulations and emergency response measures for lifting operations.

2、 Safety measures during operation

Correct installation and fixation:

Securely install the chain hoist on the designated bracket or lifting point to ensure its stability.

Use appropriate slings or lifting devices to ensure that the lifted object can be lifted and moved smoothly and safely.

Smooth operation:

During the operation, maintain a steady and uniform lifting speed to avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration.

Overloading is prohibited to ensure that the weight of the lifted object is within the rated load range of the equipment.

Maintain smooth communication:

In multi person collaborative lifting operations, maintain smooth communication and use clear signals and gestures for command and coordination.

Pay attention to the surrounding environment:

Before operation, carefully observe the surrounding environment to ensure that there are no potential hazards such as personnel, obstacles, or electrical wires.

Pay special attention to safety protection measures during high-altitude operations, such as wearing safety belts and setting up safety nets.

Emergency braking:

Familiar with and proficient in the use of emergency braking devices, able to quickly and accurately take braking measures in emergency situations.

3、 Maintenance and upkeep

Regular inspection and maintenance:

Regularly inspect and maintain the chain hoist, including cleaning, lubrication, fastening, and other related tasks.

Check if the electrical components of the equipment (if applicable) are intact and if the grounding is reliable.

Recording and archiving:

Record and archive the results of each inspection and maintenance for future reference, in order to track the operation status of the equipment and detect problems in a timely manner.

Timely repair and replacement:

When equipment malfunctions or is damaged, timely repair or replacement of damaged parts should be carried out to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.

4、 Other precautions

Comply with safety regulations:

Strictly comply with national and local safety regulations and legal requirements for lifting operations.

Training and Education:

Regularly provide safety education and training to operators to enhance their safety awareness and operational skills.

Emergency preparedness:

Develop emergency plans for lifting operations and regularly organize drills to ensure prompt and effective emergency response in case of emergencies.
