■ Electrical Hazard Warning
SRT ELEVATING WORK WORK PLATFORMS
ARE NOT ELECTRICALLY INSULATED.
If the platform, scissors arm assembly, or any other conductive part of an SRT contacts a high-voltage elec-
trical 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
(M.S.A.D) - AS OUTLINED IN TABLE 1. AND FIGURE 3.,
ON THE NEXT PAGE.
Be sure to allow for sag and sway in the wires and the work platform.
If an SRT 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 SRT.
Such contact could make your body a conductor to the other object creating an electrical shock hazard re-
sulting in SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH.
DO NOT attempt to enter or leave the SRT until you are sure the electricity has been turned off.
If an SRT is in contact with a live conductor, the platform operator MUST warn others on the ground in the vi-
cinity of the SRT 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 SRT ground controls when the platform, scissors arm assembly, or any other
conducting part of the SRT is in contact with electrical wires or if there is an immediate danger of such con-
tact.
Regard all conductors as energized.
Personnel working on or near an SRT must be continuously aware of electrical hazards, recognizing that
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH can result if contact with an electrical wire does occur.
