Lift Table Safety Measures

Lift tables can be very helpful in the work place. They allow workers to perform operations without putting unnecessary wear and tear on their bodies. However, lift tables themselves can pose hazards if not used correctly. Here are some safety measures to be aware of when working with lift tables, courtesy of beacontechnology.com:

  • Never load the table unless you are watching it
  • Keep hands and feet clear of all moving parts
  • Evenly distribute the load on the table to ensure stability
  • Always use table on an even surface
  • Never go under the platform if there is weight on it
  • Use only maintenance parts that are supplied or approved by the manufacturer
  • Make sure all operator safety labels are in place
