As a type of special machinery, safety during the operation and riding of a construction hoist is particularly important. So, what should we pay attention to?

1. Must comply with construction site management regulations and obey the commands of the construction hoist operator.

2. Use the call button on each floor to contact the construction hoist operator. Contact methods such as knocking or shouting are prohibited.

3. Must adhere to the principle of "alighting first, boarding second." When the hoist is overloaded (9 people including the operator), those boarding later should voluntarily step back and wait for the next ride.

4. The safety door must be closed first, followed by the hoist cage door, before the construction hoist can be started.

5. When riding the construction hoist, the load should be evenly distributed and must not be unbalanced. Overloading is strictly prohibited.

6. When riding the construction hoist, it is strictly forbidden to extend hands or other tools outside the hoist cage, and leaning against the hoist cage door is strictly prohibited.

7. While waiting for the construction hoist, stand inside the building floor. Do not gather on the passageway platform, and do not extend your head or hands beyond the railing or safety door.

8. It is strictly forbidden to bring open flames or flammable and explosive items into the construction hoist. If special circumstances require it, permission must be obtained from management personnel and safety precautions must be taken before carrying such items. Smoking inside the construction hoist is prohibited.

9. It is strictly forbidden to ride the construction hoist during maintenance or test runs to ensure your safety.

10. Personnel suffering from illnesses that contraindicate working at heights, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, epilepsy, or vertigo, are prohibited from riding the construction hoist.
