DSM Hoist is committed to Safety

Each of those numbers above is a Dad or a Mom not coming home to their family tonight. and when you multiply it by 14 it’s absolutely heartbreaking. Our heartfelt prayers go out to each & every child who has lost their parent or grandparent and to every spouse who has lost their soulmate as a result of these tragedies.

Lets make this number go down.

Using reliable equipment and having thorough crane/hoist & BTHLD inspections consistently can help. Proper Training for every employee can also help Reduce these tragedies in profound ways.

Offering Continued Ed or Refresher Courses gives new & seasoned operators alike updated information on equipment, procedures & possible new techniques.

Another factor that contributes to these numbers is Operator error. A tired or distracted operator can be a detriment to themselves and others. As a safety manager, sustain an uplifting caring spirit & encourage proper sleep and nutrition to your operators. You’ll never know, but you could be changing someone’s life.

Have a great & productive day & Stay Safe!

DSM Hoist Safety Tips

The way that you store your chain plays a huge role in life expectancy.

Ensure that you are storing chain in a clean, dry environment with ventilation. Never store them in a place where they are exposed to weather. Oil or lube the chains before they are placed in prolonged storage. Keep them organized for future use (adding, it makes periodic inspections go much easier too.)
