11 For maximum safety and efficiency of the lifting
apparatus all lifting members shall be applied as near
to perpendicular as possible. If required, a lifting
beam shall be applied between hoist, and load.
12 When heavy pans are being lifted with a hoist, it is
strictly forbidden to dwell or pass under the load or in
the space which is liable to be hit if the load or part of
it should topple over or come loose. Never leave a
load hanging on a hoist. Lifting acceleration and
retardation shall be kept within safe limits.
13 A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the
object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is not
possible, the necessary precautions must be taken to
prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using two hoists, each
at approximately the same angle not exceeding 30deg
from the vertical.
14 When using compressed air or inert gas to clean down
equipment, do so with caution and use the appropriate
protection, at least safety glasses, for the operator as
well as for any bystander. Do not apply compressed
air or inert gas to your skin or direct an air or gas
stream at people. Never use it to clean dirt from your
clothes.
15 Before blowing compressed air or inert gas through a hose,
ensure that the open end is held securely, so that it cannot
whip and cause injury.
16 When washing parts in or with a cleaning solvent, provide the
required ventilation and use appropriate protection such as a
breathing filter, safety glasses, rubber apron and gloves, etc.
17 Safety shoes should be compulsory in any workshop and if
there is a risk, however small, of failing objects, wearing of a
safety helmet should be included.
18 If there is a risk of inhaling hazardous gases, fumes or dust,
the respiratory organs must be protected and, depending on
the nature of the hazard, so must the eyes and skin.
19. Remember that where there is visible dust, the finer, invisible
particles will almost certainly be present too; but the fact that
no dust can be seen is not a reliable indication that dangerous,
invisible dust is not present in the air.
20 When using cartridge type breathing filter equipment,
ascertain that the correct type of cartridge is used and that its
useful service life is not surpassed.
