Section 1 - About Your Aerial Platform
Know and understand the safety precautions before going on to next section.
Fall Protection
As per the ANSI A92.6-2006 standard, "The
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.
Entering and exiting the aerial platform
should only be done using the three
points of contact.
• Use only equipped access openings.
• Enter and exit only when the aerial platform
is in the fully retracted position.
• Do use three points of contact to enter and exit
the platform. Enter and exit the platform from
the ground only. Face the aerial platform when
entering or exiting the platform.
• Three points of contact means that two hands and
one foot or one hand and two feet are in contact
with the aerial platform or the ground at all times
during entering and exiting.
