Safety is paramount in construction, and hoist elevators are no exception. Here are some key safety features:  

l Overload Protection: Sensors detect if the elevator is carrying more weight than its capacity and prevent it from moving.  

l Emergency Stop Buttons: These are strategically placed on the elevator cab and control panel to halt the elevator in case of emergencies.  

l Brakes: Powerful brakes are essential to prevent the elevator from falling or moving unexpectedly.

l Safety Gates and Doors: These ensure that workers are not exposed to the elevator shaft when it's in motion.

l Weather Protection: Enclosures can be added to protect workers from adverse weather conditions.

l Regular Inspections: Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to identify and rectify potential safety issues.  

l Operator Training: Operators must be trained to use the elevator safely and follow all procedures.
