THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only
by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use
and operation of equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper
use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off–
centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.
