aerial platform. Do make sure the load is evenly
distributed on the platform.

another object to steady the platform.

materials that exceed the confines of the guardrails
unless approved by Skyjack.
Fall Protection
As per the ANSI A92.6-2006 standard, " he guardrail
system of the aerial platform provides fall protection.
If occupant(s) of the platform are required to wear
personal fall protection equipment (PFPE), occupants
shall comply with instructions provided by the aerial
platform manufacturer (remanufacturer) regarding
anchorage(s)."
If additional fall protection is required, by an employer or
the authority having jurisdiction, Skyjack recommends
the use of a fall restraint system to keep an occupant
within the confines of the platform, and thus not expose
the occupant to any fall hazard requiring a fall arrest.
All personal fall protection equipment must comply
with applicable governmental regulations and must
be inspected and used in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
All personal fall protection equipment must be attached
only to approved anchorage points within the platform
of the aerial platform.
