Worth adding to Franks detailed post about Safety Factors, the ''crane code'' (Is it still called that?) IIRC lists seperate SF's for equipment used where personnel are involved like lifts, vehicle hoists and other items where people are working under or riding in an object suspended or lifted. The lift was the example that prompted this reply as you can see the SF is doubled effectively where passengers are involved. Our vehicle hoists have to comply similarly as we work under them, and they are considered a high use / wear item with a reasonably high duty cycle and varying loads.
Please correct anything above Frank, if you see anything you disagree with or can add as this is from memory and not up to date.
