6. SPECIFIC RISKS
Braking system failure
May occur due to braking system deficiencies or bad installation. If it stops working it could
cause a serious risk due to the raised load being out of control and may injure users or hit
materials next to the tower.
Loss of stability
If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or a surface that is not completely flat, there is a risk
of losing stability which would lead to a 90º overturn with risk of serious injuries for workers.
Objects dropping to a different level
As an elevation equipment and due to its working height, there is a serious risk of raised
objects dropping to a different level, either due to securing mechanism failure, part wear, dirt,
etc., or incorrect use of the lifting tower (E.g.: for goods over the maximum load allowed).
Sudden drop of raised goods implies a serious risk for the worker.
Knocks and/or contusions due to objects
This risk only occasionally causes an accident to the worker running the operation due to his
location during the elevation process; the risk of knocks from a raised element is more likely
to affect people walking by or whose workplace is next to the lifting tower.
Its origin may be due to a loss of stability, malfunctioning of structural elements, safety
systems, securing systems, etc.
