The Come-Along/Lever Hoists Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) gives operators guidelines to manage the risks of using come-alongs and lever hoists in the workplace and to keep to safety standards.

It covers the hazards, the work area, the PPE to wear, a pre-operational inspection, precautions, the steps to operate a come-along, and maintenance.

An employee training and induction register records who has been trained, their competency level and their refresher training.

What Can Cause Harm?

  • Load failure – exceeding the rated capacity can cause the hoist or rigging to fail.
