General Aerial Platform Safety
Aerial platforms are used under the same operating rules as any piece of mobile hoisting equipment. This includes: I .Operator knowledge of the unit and its load capacity charts, and his/her ability 2. Pre-operation inspection (See Section 6.0 of this guide) 3. Setup on firm, level ground with the outriggers extended Personnel in the basket are always under the control of the ground operator (even in platform controlled units). Ground operator is always required while boom is being operated. Aerial platforms normally have insulated booms and fiberglass baskets. OSHA regulations require a yearly inspection. The boom must have a dielectric test, the fiberglass basket is ultrasound tested, and the structural components are magnetic particle inspected. 6
