Aerial platforms and manlifts have become common and integral machinery in industrial settings over the past few decades. These equipment provide an easy way to lift workers close to what has to be done on a stable platform apparatus, enabling employees to carry out tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.

The manlift is like other industrial tools in that they are safe if used properly. Since they elevate staff above floor or ground level, accidents can take place easily and this could lead to serious injuries or fatalities for both the operators of the manlift as well as whoever passerby who may be unlucky enough to be standing beneath.

There are various types of manlifts. Nearly all fall into 1 of 2 categories: the articulating boom lift, which has the capability of both vertical and horizontal movement and the scissors lift, that is capable of moving upward and downward.

Protecting Workers

Correct training is very important in regard to safety matters. Many of the companies that lease manlifts will provide training at the jobsite. Every worker who would be working on the machine or operating it has to receive training in safe operations. It is likewise essential that just those workers who have received training should be authorized to operate the controls. Operating procedures and communication rules should be clear. Thus, workers on the ground must not operate controls without the knowledge and approval of any employees in the basket.

The employees that occupy the basket will be required to wear the correct fall protection gear that includes a harness and lanyard. The fall protection connects to the manlift easily. The worker should ensure that she or he has made whichever adjustments required to reflect the change in fall distance if there are changes in the height of the work area.

Manlifts need to be tested and inspected each and every day to make certain they are in safe operating condition. Prior to using the machinery, whichever defects should be re-inspected and repaired.
