Would it be safe to work under a jacked vehicle, if I use a mechanical

No.

==================

Absolutely, provided it has the current safety standard latches working. To
unlatch the safeties the hoist has to be working on all lifts firsts.

Any that endanger workers should not be in use. These were outlawed in most
places, not in third world locations.
