EDUCATION PART - SAFETY FIRST: TIPS BEFORE OPERATING A LIFT

 

Working at height requires extra care. Whether you’re using a scissor lift or a boom lift, following safety steps before starting work can save lives and prevent accidents.

 

✅ Top Safety Checks Before Operation

 

Inspect the Machine 🔍

– Check tires, guardrails, controls, and emergency stop button.

– Look for leaks, loose bolts, or damage.

 

Check the Ground 🏗️

– Ensure the surface is stable, level, and clear of obstacles.

– Never operate on soft, muddy, or sloping ground (unless it’s a rough terrain model).

 

Test Controls 🎛️

– Test both ground and platform controls before lifting.

– Make sure emergency lowering functions work.

 

Wear Proper PPE 🦺

– Safety harness, helmet, and non-slip shoes are essential.

– Secure lanyard to the anchor point.

 

No Overloading 📦

– Respect the weight limit (workers + tools).

– Overloading risks tipping or system failure.

 

Clear Surroundings 🚧

– Watch for overhead hazards like beams, wires, or ceilings.

– Set up warning cones or barriers if working in public areas.

 

👉 Pro Tip: A few minutes of inspection can prevent costly accidents. Always put safety before speed!
