Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for the operation and maintenance of Genie Lifts. Only trained and authorized personnel may operate the lift, and it must not be used as a work platform or for raising or lowering personnel. Pre-use checks include inspecting the machine for worn, loose, or damaged parts, ensuring proper cable tension with at least four wraps on the winch drum, and verifying lubrication of frame channels.

Operational guidelines emphasize proper load placement to prevent overbalancing and avoiding movement of the lift with a raised load, except for minor adjustments. The lift must not be operated in windy conditions or near overhead obstructions. Maintenance involves using silicone lubricant on frame channels, replacing damaged cables with approved fittings, and inspecting the winch and braking systems. PPE, including gloves, must be worn during cable handling. Following these protocols ensures safe and efficient use of the Genie Lift.
