Boom Lift License Casa Grande

Boom Lift License Casa Grande - Only fully qualified persons should operate an aerial boom lift. Qualification could be attained through a combination of classroom sessions and practical training with the specific kind of aerial lift that would be used on the job. A License is required for anyone who works on or operates an aerial boom lift.

Vehicle-mounted aerial devices comprise the following work vehicles: aerial ladders, extensible boom platforms, articulating boom platforms, vertical towers, and whatever combination of these types.

There are several basic safety regulations which apply to all boom lifts. Worker safety whilst in the basket is a main concern. Workers must put on a body harness and lanyard attached to the basket or boom. Never tie off to an equipment, an adjacent pole or a structure. Employees must stand on the basket floor, and never sit or climb on the edge of the basket. The load restrictions of the manufacturer should be adhered to.

Lift operators should be certified to operate an aerial lift. The manufacturer's instruction manual must be kept within the lift and the operator should know all aspects of that particular unit. Operators are responsible for ensuring that safety procedures are followed in the operation of the lift. Testing lift controls each day should be done. Set brakes and position outriggers (if they are used) on a stable surface or on pads. When working on a slope, utilize wheel chocks.

Never move an aerial lift truck with an elevated boom while workers are in the basket. Extensible boom platforms and articulating boom made use of as personnel carriers must have plainly marked, accessible, upper controls. Except for in emergency situations, lower controls should not be utilized to override upper controls unless the individual in the lift gives consent.

While working from an aerial lift, do not wear tree or pole climbers.
Do not alter the insulated part of the aerial lift.
Ensure that the booms are thoroughly checked, that the machinery is correctly cradled and the outriggers are in the stowed position prior to moving.
Make certain that lifts being used near or in power lines are di-electrically tested and follow local rules.
