During the last couple of decades, aerial platforms and manlifts have become a common sight on construction job sites and in industrial maintenance applications. These equipment provide an easy way to lift staff near what must be carried out on a stable platform apparatus, enabling staff 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 devices in that they are safe when utilized properly. Since they lift staff above floor or ground level, accidents could take place easily and this could lead to serious fatalities or injuries for both the manlift operators and whoever passerby who may not be lucky enough to be standing below.

Manlifts come in various types. The majority fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, that is capable of moving upward and downward and the articulating boom lift, which can move both horizontally and vertically.

Protecting Staff

Correct training is vital in regard to safety matters. Many of the businesses which rent manlifts would provide training at the jobsite. Each and every worker who will be working on the machinery or operating it must receive training in safe operations. It is also important that only those workers who have received training should be authorized to operate the controls. Communication rules and operating procedures should be clear. Thus, workers on the ground must not operate controls without the knowledge and approval of any staff in the basket.

The workers that occupy the basket would be required to wear the proper fall protection gear that includes a harness and lanyard. The fall protection attaches to the manlift easily. The employee should make certain that she or he has made any adjustments required to reflect the change in fall distance if the height of the work area changes.

To make sure that the manlift is in good operating condition, manlifts need to be tested and inspected each day. Prior to using the machinery, whatever defects have to be re-inspected and fixed.
