The employer should provide employees:
 Required manuals to operators and maintenance mechanics.
 Be sure operators and mechanics are trained by a qualified person experienced with
the model of aerial lift.*
Using an Aerial Lift
 Always close lift platform chains or doors.
 Stand on the floor of the bucket or lift platform. Do not climb on or lean over
guardrails.
 Do not exceed manufacturer’s load-capacity limits (including the weight of such things
as bucket liners, tools and equipment).
 If working near traffic, set up work-zone warnings, like cones and signs.
To prevent electrocutions:
 Non-electrical workers must stay at least 10 feet away from overhead power lines.
 Electrical workers must de-energize/insulate power lines or use proper personal
protective equipment and tools.
 Insulated buckets protect from electrocution due to electric current passing through
you and the boom to ground. An insulated bucket does not
protect if there’s another
path to ground – for instance, if you touch another wire.
To prevent falls:
To help keep workers inside guardrails or in buckets, OSHA requires either a full-body
harness or a positioning device on bucket trucks or boom-supported lifts. OSHA accepts a
positioning device (belt) with a short lanyard, if there is an anchorage inside the bucket.
To prevent tipovers:
Check the manufacturer’s instructions.
 Do not drive with the lift platform elevated (unless the manufacturer says that’s OK).
 Do not exceed vertical or horizontal reach limits or the specified load-capacity of the
lift.
 On an elevated scissor lift, avoid too much pushing or pulling.
