Understanding and calculating the Safe Working Load (SWL) is vital to prevent overloads that could lead to catastrophic failures. Discover the key factors to consider when determining the safe load capacity of your lifting equipment and how to ensure everything stays within safe limits.

Before you lift or handle any load, it's essential to inspect all equipment and components. Skipping this crucial step can lead to serious accidents or equipment failure. Learn why a thorough pre-lift inspection is one of the best preventative measures you can take to ensure safety on the job.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is a critical component of safety in load handling, yet it's often overlooked. Explore why wearing the right PPE can make the difference between a safe workday and a serious accident, and what you need to check before starting any task.

Manual lifting is often necessary, but it comes with risks if not done correctly. Learn the proper techniques to lift loads manually, reduce strain on your body, and avoid common injuries that can result from improper lifting practices.
