Abstract

To prevent injuries while working in aerial lifts:

  • A “pre-job safety plan” should be developed for each job site and reviewed prior to each day on the job site.
  • Mechanical checks should be performed on all equipment at each job site prior to each use.
  • There should be communication between the worker in the elevated lift and ground control crew.
  • Ensure that appropriate fall protection equipment is available and correctly used when working from elevations.
  • Employees should work within job qualifications and job limits.
