Aerial platforms and manlifts have become common and integral machinery in industrial settings over the last few decades.

Similar to every other device, manlifts are only safe when they are utilized properly. Because they lift employees above ground level or floor, accidents can happen easily and this might lead to serious injuries or death for both the manlift operators and whoever passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing below.

There are a variety of kinds of manlifts. Nearly all fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, which has the capability of both horizontal and vertical movement and the scissors lift, which is capable of moving upward and downward.

Protecting Employees

It is essential to offer proper training for you operators. Many companies that rent these machines would offer on site training. Each and every worker who will be working on the machinery or operating it must receive training in safe operations. It is also vital that only those employees who have received training must be authorized to operate the controls. Operating procedures and communication rules must be clear. Therefore, workers on the ground should not operate controls without the approval and knowledge of any workers in the basket.

The workers that occupy the basket would be required to wear the right fall protection gear which comprises a harness and lanyard. The fall protection attaches to the manlift easily. The employee should ensure that he or she has made whatever adjustments required to reflect the change in fall distance if there are changes in the height of the work area.

To make certain that the manlift is in good operating condition, manlifts must be tested and inspected each day. Prior to using the machinery, whatever defects have to be re-inspected and repaired.
