          Like anything else at our location, each and every piece of equipment has an inherent risk of operator error that can 

.

 

   

   lead to accidents and injury. An aerial work platform (AWP), like other equipment when properly used by skilled            

.

 

   

   operators, is relatively safe. However, should an incident happen, the chances of a catastrophic accident are greater    

   

   than with other equipment. This statement a

pplies to our “Bil-Jax #4727A”, Battery             

.

  

   

   Operated, Towable Articulated Boom Lift. We have tried to cover safety information and    

   

   issues as we know them at this time. With that in mind, please take a few moments to go  

.

 

   

   over the information printed below. These recommendations are from the equipment         

   

   manufacturer, the rental industry, trade magazine articles, insurance companies and our   

.

 

   

   own staff. We have compiled them to help to lessen the chances of accident or injury!       

.

      

   

   

While our “Operational and Safety” information only hits a “few high point” and contains     

.

 

   

   

“some” useful information, we strongly encourage you to take the time to read and review 

.

 

   

   

The “complete” manufacturer’s “Operation and Safety Manual”. TRC also encourages       

 .

 

   

   Reading and reviewing the safety publication; 

Statement of Best Practices for Workplace  

.

 

   

   Risk Assessment and Aerial Work Platform Equipment Selection.

 This booklet was            

.

 

   

   developed to aid the identification of workplace hazards, offer guidance for workplace        

   

   risk assessment and implementing control measures and assists in the selection of the      

.

 

   

   most appropriate AWP equipment for the work required. If you should have any questions,

.

 

   

   please stop and call TRC immediately at our store location; (662) 335-3535 or after hours
