Before Operating an Aerial Lift

Check operating and emergency controls, safety devices (such as, outriggers and guardrails), personal fallprotection..

Check where the lift will be used. Look for a level surface that won’t shift.

Check the slope of the ground or floor; do not work on steep slopes that exceed slope limits listed by the manufacturer. Look for hazards, such as, holes, drop-offs, bumps, and debris, and overhead power lines and other obstructions.
Set outriggers, brakes, and wheel chocks – even if you’re working on a level slope.

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
and tools).
• 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.
