ELECTRICAL HAZARD
SR ELEVATING WORK PLATFORMS ARE NOT
ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.
If the platform, scissors arm assembly, or any other conductive part of an SR
contacts a high-voltage electrical conductor, the result can be SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH for persons on or near the machine.
GO NO CLOSER THAN THE MINIMUM SAFE APPROACH
DISTANCES ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE.
Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform.
If an SR comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, the entire machine can
be charged. If that happens, you should remain on the machine and not contact
any other structure or object within reach. That includes the ground, adjacent
buildings, poles, and any object not a part of the SR. Such contact could make
your body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical shock hazard
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH. Do not attempt to enter or leave the
SR until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If an SR is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator MUST warn
others on the ground in the vicinity of the SR to STAY AWAY from the machine,
since their bodies can also form a path for electricity to ground thus creating an
electrical shock hazard with possible ELECTROCUTION and DEATH.
Do not attempt to operate SR ground controls when the platform, scissors arm
assembly, or any other conducting part of the SR is in contact with electrical
wires or if there is an immediate danger of such contact.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Personnel working on or near an SR must be continuously aware of electrical
hazards, recognizing that SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with
an electrical wire does occur.
