Required Inspections
personnel, their tools and equipment or lifting a load. Base controls are
never to be used for positioning with personnel in the aerial work station, except
in case of emergency as required by law, due to the hazard this practice presents
to personnel. Be certain to never exceed the manufacturer's rated platform
capacity as shown on the Capacity decal. Distribute the load evenly on the
platform floor. If a capacity decal is not present or not legible, do not operate the
unit. When working for an extended length of time in one platform position, turn
OFF platform master switch and turn OFF vehicle engine.
Never position ladders, steps or other items on the unit to provide additional
reach for any purpose. Keep mud, oil, grease and other slippery substances
cleaned from footwear and the platform deck. When riding in, or working from the
platform both feet must be firmly positioned on the deck. Lower controls are not
to be used to position personnel in the platform. Platform personnel shall position
the platform using the upper controls as required by OSHA paragraphs 1910.67
(General Industry) and 1926.556 (Construction).
Do not allow personnel lifts in wind speeds exceeding 30 miles per hour (48
kilometers per hour) at the raised platform height. Winds aloft can be much
stronger than at the ground.
Weather can be unpredictable, and the operator must determine prior to
operation whether it is safe to use the equipment given the conditions. Operators
should be aware of high or erratic winds, electric storms, snow, ice, sleet, or
other adverse weather conditions that could affect the safety of personnel or
property. If high winds or adverse weather conditions are encountered, do not
use the equipment. If high winds or adverse weather conditions develop,
terminate the operation.
If the unit is an insulating model as indicated on the data plate, verify that it has
been tested within the time period specified by applicable regulation or company
