Aerial and Scissor Lifts
US & Canada General Construction Electrical Painting
Why it matters
Tip-overs, falls, and crush injuries from lifts are frequent and severe.
Key points
- Only trained, authorized operators. Read the manual for the specific model.
- Harness and lanyard tied to the anchor point in boom lifts - always.
- Check ground conditions: slopes, holes, soft fill, overhead lines.
- Never exceed platform load limits or use rails as a step.
- Chock wheels and set outriggers where required.
Discussion
