•
LDFs hung from the platform guard rail must
not be rigidly attached in any manner that could
cause or impose a side or vertical load from
wind or contact with adjacent objects greater
than the rated side load posted at the entrance
to the platform.
•
Attachment of LDFs and rope to the platform
shall be accomplished in a manner that does
not cause a tip-over hazard due to a side or
vertical force that could result in the machine
becoming unstable.
•
Do not alter the guard rail system by drilling,
welding, crushing, damaging or making any
other modifications that compromise the
strength of the guard rail when attaching movie
production equipment.
•
The entrance to the platform, the platform
controls, including the foot switch and the
emergency stop button, the lanyard anchorage
points, the platform decals and instruction
container must remain accessible when movie
production equipment is attached to the
platform.
•
Operators must not gain access to or exit the
platform by means of walking or climbing on
the boom or lift structure or by attaching a rope
or a hanging ladder from the platform or its
supporting structure. Access to and exit from
the platform shall be accomplished at ground
level only.
•
The combined weight of platform attachments,
power supply cables, mounting hardware,
platform occupant(s), tools and equipment
must in all cases remain less than the
maximum rated platform capacity for both
personnel lifting and material only lifting
applications. Use the platform capacity
reduction chart found in this supplement to
determine allowable platform load.
•
The number and size of attachments must be
limited by consideration of the maximum
allowable wind speed and the surface area of
platform attachments. Use the wind speed
chart found in this supplement to determine
maximum allowable wind speed.
•
Information regarding the attachment of LDFs
and lighting and camera equipment shall be
supplied only to trained union members.
Operators must be familiar with these
supplemental instructions and warnings before
they are allowed to operate any Genie boom
that is approved for this application.
•
The grips panel must be mounted in a way that
the center of gravity of the frame is always
located below the platform floor.
•
An accurate wind speed measuring device,
such as an anemometer, must be used to
measure the wind speed if the wind speed
charts are to be used.
