Gondola

Gondolas

They must be designed by professional engineer and licence from the authorities must be obtained before they are to be used. The safety hardness must be fastened to the lifeline and not to the handrails. The safe working load must be clearly stenciled on the gondola, with the tagged number of the unit properly secured on the unit.

Never cheat by using a gondola which has not yet been load tested and confirmed safe for use by the authority. Some contractors stenciled the following sentence on a plate and try to cheat the authority: “This gondola is not safe for use” but his workers are using it to transport materials and people .  The trick is when a safety inspector comes along, the contractor simply says that the labourers were not able to understand English and they used the gondola by mistake.
