What should be done when an airbag is used to lift an object?

When using an airbag to lift an object, monitoring weight distribution is crucial for the safety and effectiveness of the operation. Proper weight distribution ensures that the load remains stable and prevents it from shifting during the lift, which could lead to uncontrolled movement or loss of control over the lifted object. This is particularly important because an uneven weight distribution can cause the airbag to become unstable or even collapse, posing a risk to personnel and surrounding structures.

Ensuring that the weight is evenly distributed can help in maintaining balance and control throughout the lift, allowing for a safer operation. Additionally, it helps in determining how much pressure the airbag should be inflated to in order to safely lift the object without exceeding its recommended capacity or causing failure of the equipment.

While other options may touch on parts of the lifting process, they do not emphasize the critical nature of weight distribution during the initial lift, which is fundamental to ensuring a safe and effective operation.
