Operator & Jobsite Preparation
1. Operators must be thoroughly trained before operating this hoist. A trained person is one who is thoroughly
familiar with the safety features, design capabilities, use and operation of the machine and this manual.
2. Prior to setting up this hoist, there must be a plan of action outlining the work to be accomplished, individual
responsibilities, personal protective equipment and method of communication.
3. A good line of communication must be maintained between the hoist operator and the ground crew. Walkie-
Talkies, cell phones or other methods of voice communication should be used whenever possible, at the very
least hand signals.
4. Follow the pre-hoisting check list before operating.
5. Use only ASE approved solid steel ballast blocks or factory approved equivalent as counterweights. Never use
roof materials or pourable materials as counterweight.
6. Maintain 1lb of counterweight for every pound being lifted by the hoist. This is a general specification;
different regions have different regulations which may require higher ballast requirements on the All Seasons
Hoist.
7. Wear heavy gloves when handling wire rope.
8. Wear safety footwear and head protection while operating the hoist or working in its vicinity.
9. All personnel are required to be protected by a safety harness and life line or guardrails as required by OSHA
or Canadian regulations, when handling loads at the roof edge.
10. Never use the hoist structure to anchor life lines, workers’ harnesses or other attachments.

It is recommended that the employer keep records of all safety and health training. Records can provide evidence of the
employer’s good faith and compliance with OSHA standards. Documentation can also supply an answer to one of the first
questions an accident investigator will ask. “Was the injured employee trained to do the job?”
Training in the proper performance of a job is time and money well spent, and the employer should regard it as an investment
rather than an expense. An effective program of safety and health training for workers can result in fewer accidents and illnesses,
better morale, and lower insurance premiums, among other benefits.
