0610 Aerial Lift Safety (14 min. VHS)
Aerial lifts provide an easy means to reach work sites far above the ground, while supplying a level platform to stand on. But, unfortunately, aerial lifts are not accident-proof. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the construction industry alone, 26 workers die each year from using aerial lifts. Most serious and fatal accidents occur due to electrocutions, falls and tip overs.
This video teaches best safety practices, housekeeping and equipment maintenance techniques to prevent aerial lift accidents at your site. Working with or around electricity, working in inclement weather and working in an elevated bucket are covered, as well as:
- Fall protection, load requirements and equipment
- Pre-start inspections
- Safe use
