Extracts from ASNZS 1418-10 2011
2.6.4 Work platform controls: Location, accessibility, protection
Control devices shall be situated on the work platform and shall be readily accessible to the operator. Platform control boxes not permanently
attached shall have their normal location and orientation clearly marked on the platform and the control box.
When
released, all control devices shall automatically return to the ‘off’ or ‘neutral’ position, if used to control any movement of the MEWP.
All control devices shall be protected against activation other than that initiated by the operator.
NOTE:
A separate control, which has to be continuously activated by the operator in order for any motion to take place, meets this
requirement
.
Where a separate control is integral with a motion control, the control shall be mechanically protected against inadvertent actuation.
A guard shall be provided and located at least 50 mm above the highest point of the controls.
2.6.10 Overriding emergency system
Overriding of the platform emergency stop control and load-sensing system is allowed for rescuing a trapped or incapacitated operator on the
platform. Overriding is permitted only by the use of a safety device that is independent from the selection control device. The safety device shall be
operated by hold to run controls.
The overriding of the load-sensing system shall allow motion of the platform sufficient to rescue the operator. Features shall be provided to protect
against misuse of the overriding system.
