SAFETY
•
This should be a place large enough to contain the entire structure, so as not to create any
dangerous situations during the operations with the lifting platform boom
•
It should not obstruct escape routes, emergency exits, pedestrian crossings and thoroughfares
(for vehicles, fork lift trucks, self-propelled operating machines etc.).
•
It should not obstruct the visibility of signs (boards, illuminated signs etc.).
•
It should not obstruct the operating area of other pieces of equipment that are close by (such
as travelling cranes, conveyors etc.) unless the equipment is not disabled for the entire period
in which the lifting platform is used.
2.6.1.3
Positioning the machine
The position of the machine, relative to the position of the user, must allow the work to be
carried out successfully whilst maintaining safety within the working envelope.
During this phase, the accessibility of the controls and the visibility of the applicable areas should be
checked, with particular reference to positioning, operation and retraction.
2.6.1.4
Delimitation of the operating area
Before operating the lifting platform, always irst check the environmental conditions and visibility and
arrange suitable signs to demarcate the operating area such as:
•
Barriers
•
Tapes delimiting the area
•
Signage (prohibition, warning, danger etc.)
2.6.2
Danger areas
The operating envelope (
A
and
B
) of the boom when completely horizontally extended is to be
considered a danger zone and as such, persons shall not be allowed to remain within it.
Cordon off this area with barriers, construction site tape, chains, etc.
Use appropriate signals for operations on roadworks sites.
