SECTION 1 - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• TRANSFERS BETWEEN A STRUCTURE AND THE
AERIAL PLATFORM EXPOSE OPERATORS TO FALL
HAZARDS. THIS PRACTICE SHOULD BE DISCOUR-
AGED WHEREVER POSSIBLE. WHERE TRANSFER
MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED TO PERFORM THE JOB
TWO LANYARDS WITH AN APPROVED FALL PRO-
TECTION DEVICE WILL BE USED. ONE LANYARD
SHOULD BE ATTACHED TO THE AERIAL PLATFORM.
THE OTHER TO THE STRUCTURE. THE LANYARD
THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE AERIAL PLATFORM
SHOULD NOT BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL SUCH
TIME AS THE TRANSFER TO THE STRUCTURE IS
COMPLETE. OTHERWISE, DO NOT STEP OUTSIDE
OF PLATFORM.
• DO NOT ADD NOTICE BOARDS OR SIMILAR ITEMS
TO THE PLATFORM. ADDITION OF SUCH ITEMS
INCREASES THE EXPOSED WIND AREA OF THE
MACHINE.

ITEMS ON UNIT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REACH

BOTH FEET MUST BE FIRMLY POSITIONED ON THE

ATING MACHINE OVER GROUND PERSONNEL AND
