To improve bay safety, technicians should get to know their lifts by truly paying attention to potential safety hazards or damage to the lift and its accessories. For example, it is important to check lift contact points such as lifting pads to make sure they are free of debris, grease, oil, and anything else that may prevent solid contact. Adapters in the condition shown here should not be used.
