2.2 Mechanical Hazards
► Crushing
between the platform and the building or structure.
► Cutting
or severing between moving machine parts.
► Loss of rigging stability
because of one or more of the following:
Insufficient counterweight or counterweights not properly fixed;
Inadequate mechanical strength;
Increase in vertical load on suspension wire because the platform encounters an obstacle,
the platform overloads, or the suspension wire rope breaks;
Platform catches on overhang when going up.
► Falling
from the platform when working;
by using a wire rope that is too short;
if the platform is not strong enough for the weight and breaks;
if wire rope or platform interconnections fail;
rigging failure can cause falling.
► Idling
due to loss of traction.
► Jamming
due to damaged wire rope.
2.3 Electrical Hazards
►
Failure of the electrical supply may delay travel of the platform.
► Control system failure can cause unwanted/unexpected movement of the platform.
►
All electrical connections must be locked and supported to midrail with velcro strap.
►
Make sure the electrical cord (if required) and wire rope are long enough to allow full travel of
the suspended equipment.
