DANGER
The aerial platform is not electrically insulated. Death or serious injury can result
from contact with, or inadequate clearance from, an energized conductor.
Do not go closer than the minimum safe approach distance as defined by the Mini-
mum Safe Approach Distance section in Chapter 3–Safety.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Allow for electrical wire sag and aerial platform sway.
If the platform, scissors structure, or any part of the aerial platform contacts a high-voltage
electrical conductor, the entire machine can become electrically charged.
If that happens, remain on the machine and do not contact any other structure or object. This
includes the ground, adjacent buildings, poles, and any other objects that are not part of the
aerial platform.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object, creating an electrical
shock hazard resulting in death or serious injury.
If an aerial platform is in contact with an energized conductor the platform operator must
warn ground personnel in the vicinity to stay away. Their bodies can conduct electricity cre-
ating an electrical shock hazard resulting in death or serious injury.
Do not approach or leave the aerial platform until the electricity has been turned off.
Do not attempt to operate the lower controls when the platform, scissors structure, or any
part of the aerial platform is in contact with a high-voltage electrical conductor or if there is
an immediate danger of such contact.
Personnel on or near an aerial platform must be continuously aware of electrical hazards,
recognizing that death or serious injury can result from contact with an energized conductor.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain
lead and lead components, chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
