Elevated Work platforms are a valuable tool for working at heights, but with any machinery they must be used correctly and safely at all times. You must operate within the manufacturers specifications, be trained properly, inspect your elevated work platform per shift, operate controls before use as a safety check, and understand emergency override controls which should be at ground level and practiced in the field. Work areas must be checked before beginning any job for hazards such as drop offs, inclines, holes, and debris; untamped earth fills and overhead obstructions such as power lines or service drops. It is extremely important to thoroughly inspect your elevated work platform before using, as well as keep a written log of your per shift inspection. Inspect for loose parts, cracked welds, damaged or frayed wire rope, improper adjustments and broken safety devices such as horns, emergency controls, and gates. Check the frame, brakes, and tires for signs of damage or wear and tear. Before moving or raising the platform of an elevated work platform, make sure that it's placed on a level, firm surface. Have outriggers or stabilizers properly positioned and ensure all platform guardrails are properly installed. Additional tips: Keep an eye on ropes, cords, and hoses at the jobsite to ensure they don't get tangled up in the work platform. Load the platform evenly and be careful not to overload it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding loading. Never put the operator in the position of being trapped between the platform and the structure being worked on. Keep the area clear of other workers when the platform is being moved, raised or lowered.
