1557 Elevated Work Platform Safety (DVD)
Elevated work platforms, such as scissor and boom lifts, allow us to safely perform various tasks and maintenance operations at heights that otherwise may be unreachable. While there are many different styles of lifts designed for various applications and site conditions, they all have one thing in common: the potential for serious injury or death. Incidents that result from unsafe operation often include electrocution, falls, crushed body parts, and tip-overs.
This video dicusses the procedures that lift operators must follow to prevent incidents. Topics include:
- operator training and authorization,
- factors that affect stability,
- pre-operational inspection,
- testing of functions and controls,
- safe driving procedures,
- use of harnessess and lanyards,
- avoiding falls from platforms.
