Fall Hazard
• During operation, occupants in the platform must wear a full body harness with a
lanyard attached to an authorized lanyard anchorage point. Attach only one
lanyard per lanyard anchorage point.
• DO NOT use damaged harnesses, deceleration devices or lanyards.
• Before operating the machine, make sure all gates are closed and fastened in
their proper position.
• Keep both feet firmly positioned on the platform floor at all times. Never use
ladders, boxes, steps, planks or similar items on platform to provide additional
reach.
• Use hand rails, if equipped, to maintain balance while platform is in motion.
• Never use the boom assembly to enter or leave the platform.
• Use extreme caution when entering or leaving platform. Be sure that the boom is
fully lowered. Face the machine, maintain three point contact with the machine,
using two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand during entry and exit.
• Platform-to-structure transfers at elevated positions are discouraged. Where
transfer is necessary, enter/exit through the gate only with the platform within 1 ft
(0,3 m) of a safe and secure structure. 100% tie-off is also required in this
situation utilizing two lanyards. One lanyard must be attached to the platform
with the second lanyard attached to the structure. The lanyard connected to the
platform must not be disconnected until such time as the transfer to the structure
is safe and complete.
• Avoid accumulation of debris on platform floor. Keep mud, oil, grease and other
slippery substances from footwear and platform deck.
