When MAXIFORCE Air Lifting Bag Systems are properly used in combination with good common sense, an extremely safe method of applying force is realized. Although the following safety first list is quite extensive, the majority of the precautions are just good common sense for any personnel qualified in the use of lift bags. However, some of the precautions are not obvious and Paratech strongly recommends that all operating/assisting/maintenance personnel read and understand the complete safety first procedures in order to ensure personnel and equipment safety. Since there are four distinct operational phases of lift bag use: Prior to Inflation, During Inflation and While Inflated, During Deflation, and After Removal, the safety first list is charted to reflect these applications.
