SAFETY SPOTLIGHT: BOOM LIFT EDITION
|
Kaweah Equipment Co reminds you to always stay safe when working up high.
BEFORE YOU GET THAT BOOM LIFT STARTED TODAY, TAKE CARE TO KEEP SAFE WITH THESE HELPFUL TIPS:
- Remember before all else to inspect your work site and lift equipment for safety before operation begins.
- If any leaks, cracks, deformations or malfunctions are discovered on the unit, avoid operating at all costs!
- Aerial lifts such as Articulated Booms are generally safer than ladders, but are not without their own risks to be aware of!
- Over 26 workers are killed each year from aerial lift accidents—nearly 50% of which are either related to electrocution, or falls.
- Always operate in proper conjunction with power lines, terrain & weather.
- Operators should always be aware of their load capacity, center of gravity, fall prevention tethering, and surrounding obstacles & structures.
- Proper shutdown and charging procedures are just as important as pre-operation inspections!
Take your team safety to the next level.
If you're interested in further training your equipment operators on safe practices & procedures, Kaweah Equipment offers an OSHA-approved Certified Safety Training course on this topic, which covers everything we mentioned today and more.
