When using the lifting function of an aerial work platform, strictly lift in line with the rated weight and prohibit overloading to prevent component damage and safety accidents.
1. Avoid scratching the arm along the construction edge
2. Avoid squeezing injuries to the human body from the construction edge, keep a distance from buildings, and ensure the personal safety of workers and equipment working at heights.
3. Prevent people inside the basket from falling during the rotation of the platform
4. Do a good job in environmental warning and area fencing
When working at heights, warning objects should be correctly set up around the work vehicle to prevent passing vehicles and pedestrians from threatening the safety of the workers at heights.
5. Conduct thorough investigations on the support brackets and concealed works at the compressed positions
Underground culverts and other structures that cannot effectively support the hydraulic supports of aerial work platforms. When working at heights, the support surface of the hydraulic support of the aerial work platform should avoid lines that may have underground culverts. When working at heights, pay attention to correctly marking obstacles around the work vehicle.
6. When working on slopes, the vehicle body should be kept balanced
When the aerial work platform is operating on a slope, if the height difference is too large, a pad should be added under the lower side ouler to ensure the safety of the operation.
7. It is strictly prohibited to adjust the Angle and position of the auxiliary boom during the lifting process
When lifting heavy objects with the hook of a high-altitude work vehicle, it should be noted that when using a small crane to lift heavy objects, the Angle and position of the auxiliary boom must be determined at the very beginning. It is strictly forbidden to adjust the Angle and position of the auxiliary boom when the heavy object is being lifted to avoid accidents such as collisions.
8. Do not operate in potholes
High-altitude operation vehicles must not be parked in potholes for work to prevent overturning accidents when they are lifted for operation.
9. Before lifting, the lifting rope must be inspected
Before lifting, the hook and hoisting rope of the aerial work platform must be inspected. For small cranes, the hoisting rope must also be inspected to check if there are any broken strands. Damaged ropes should be replaced in a timely manner as per regulations to ensure the safety of the operation.
10. Place warning signs properly to avoid causing harm to passers-by
Precautions for items on the aerial work platform bed: When working on the aerial work platform bed, warning signs must be properly placed within the effective working radius to prevent harm to pedestrians passing by.
Work should be immediately halted in case of abnormal weather
High-altitude operations should be halted when the weather is abnormal. For instance, when the wind speed reaches 10m/s, the rainfall exceeds 50mm, or the snowfall reaches 25mm, operations should be immediately stopped.
Smoking is strictly prohibited when working at heights
Smoking is strictly prohibited during high-altitude operations to prevent cigarette butts from falling into the bucket and igniting it, which could lead to accidents.
13. Be careful not to tip over chemical coatings when working at heights
Precautions for chemical coatings in the insulating bucket of aerial work platforms: When the insulating bucket is carrying chemical coatings, be careful not to tip it over to avoid corroding the working bucket. In the event of any tipping, immediately rinse off the dirt with a neutral detergent and then wipe it clean with a soft cloth and water.
When parking on a slope for high-altitude work, the handbrake should be pulled up
Precautions for parking aerial work platforms on slopes: They can only be parked on slopes within 7 degrees. Apply the handbrake and place stoppers under the tires.
15. The vertical outriggers for high-altitude work slopes must be extended in accordance with the steps
The steps for extending the vertical outriggers on the slope of the aerial work platform are shown in the figure. First, extend the front outriggers, lift the front tires off the ground, and then extend the rear outriggers.
16. Keep the vehicle level when working on slopes
Confirm whether the aerial work platform is level. After the support is fully extended, visually inspect whether the vehicle body is level.
17. Retract the outriggers step by step
The steps for retracting the vertical outriggers on the slope of the aerial work platform are as follows: First, retracted the rear outriggers, with the rear tires touching the ground, and then retracted the front outriggers.
18. When working at heights, it is essential to wear protective gear correctly
The protective gear that must be worn when the aerial work platform climbs onto the work bucket. When climbing onto the work bucket, the operator must wear a safety helmet and a safety belt. At the same time, the metal buckle of the safety belt should be attached to the safety buckle of the work bucket guardrail to prevent death caused by falling.
19. When working at heights, pay attention to avoiding obstacles with the work bucket
When moving the work bucket, it is necessary to first observe whether there are any obstacles within the moving radius to avoid the work bucket hitting the obstacles and causing casualties.
20. It is strictly prohibited to work by stepping on the guardrail of the bucket
When the height of the work bucket of the aerial work platform does not reach the working height, it is not allowed to force operation.
When the height of the working bucket has not reached the working height, it is strictly forbidden to step on the bucket guardrail to work, otherwise a fall accident is likely to occur.
21. The hook of the aerial work platform must not be lifted beyond its load capacity
When using the lifting function of an aerial work platform, lifting operations should be carried out strictly in accordance with the specified weight. Overloading is strictly prohibited to avoid damaging vehicle components and causing safety accidents.
