Hoist Safety: How To Prevent The Most Common Injuries Associated With Hoist Failures

According to the Department of Labor statistics the most common injuries associated with hoist failures are:

  • deep gashes
  • lost teeth
  • concussions
  • fractured hands
  • arms
  • legs
  • ribs

Also, the most common cause of come-a-long accidents occur when the hook slips, or something in the ‘system’ fails.

That is why it is important to make Overload Protection part of your buying decision.

Press play to see how overload protection works.

Most common bullet points found when looking to purchase manual hoists

  1. Never exceed the rated load of your hoist
  2. Always know the weight of your load
  3. Never use a cheater bar

Number 1 happens when you don’t know what the answer to number 2 is, Number 3 is what happens when 1 and 2 are ignored. Let’s be real here, this happens somewhere every day.

Overload Protection eliminates 1 and 3 and gives the answer to number 2.

Does the hoist your using help with any of the above common warnings?

If you’re a safety director or company owner, you may want to think about what equipment you are providing your employees.

Safety first.
