Which of the following is a requirement when using hoists?

Always operate manually
Inspect the hoist regularly
Only trained personnel may operate
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The requirement that encompasses all relevant practices when using hoists is that inspections should be conducted regularly, only trained personnel may operate the equipment, and it is advisable to operate manually in certain situations. Inspecting a hoist regularly is essential to ensure its proper functioning and safety; this includes checking for wear and tear, ensuring that all components are in good condition, and confirming that safety devices are operational. Only trained personnel should operate hoists to minimize the risk of accidents and ensure that those operating the equipment are knowledgeable about its handling and safety precautions. While manual operation may be suitable in specific cases, it is not universally applicable and thus not a blanket requirement in every situation. By recognizing that effective hoist operation involves regular inspections and trained personnel, one understands the importance of these practices in promoting safety and efficiency in lifting operations. Therefore, selecting the option that includes all these aspects reflects a comprehensive understanding of hoist operation requirements.
