material weight - hoists
(OP)
Is there an OSHA requirement that the weight of a material be posted on the package. Am lifting bags of sand with small hoists. Bags of sand are not individually listed with weight but all hoists have manufactures weight lifting capacity listed.
thanks

RE: material weight - hoists
OSHA does require that all hoists to be so marked with capacity, so the rigger knows the limits of the machine, without having to go look it up in the manual everytime (which no macho man ever does).
