Aerial and scissor lifts

Lifts make height work easier but tip over, crush and throw people when used wrong.

Key points

• Only trained, authorized people run the lift.
• Do a walkaround and function check before use.
• Check the ground for holes, slopes, soft soil and overhead lines.
• Keep your feet on the platform floor. No climbing the rails.
• In boom lifts, wear the harness and clip to the designated anchor.

Ask the crew

• Who on this crew is trained on the lift we have?
• Where are the overhead lines near today's work?
