Anyone have first hand information on the safe use of wheeled pulley blocks,(if they are in fact still acceptable), there is load of information on the Hse web site...haven't found any thing that helps yet ,there is some controversy in regards to accidents occurring due to no brakes on these devices ...therefore items falling from heights a possibily,burns to hands etc ..we are in the house building industry and one of our sub-contractors are comtemplating using this to lift materials i.e scaffold tubes ,buckets of mortar, etc 2 to 3 storeys up a scaffold...
any help welcomed

Hi Andy
Thanks for your info...I have found some information in the 07 GE700 which gives some guidance ,it refers they are not actually barred but they recommend max lifts of 50kgs the anchor points must be suitable
It maybe the case that we take a amicable decision like yourselves and barr them..
thanks again
