3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always wear personal protective equipment according to
current regulations concerning industrial health and safety (in
particular, hard hat and safety shoes are COMPULSORY).
It is the operator or safety manager’s responsibility to choose
the personal protective equipment (PPE) depending on the
activity to be carried out. For their correct use and
maintenance, refer to the equipment manuals themselves.
The use of safety harness is not compulsory except in certain
countries with specific regulations. In Italy, the consolidation act
on safety, Law Decree 81/08, has made the use of a safety
harness mandatory.
Only adults (18 years old), after carefully reading this manual, are allowed to use the machine. The employer is
responsible for training.
The platform is intended for people carriage; therefore, it is necessary to comply with the current local
regulations relevant to this class of machines (see paragraphs 1).
At least two users must operate the machine, one of them on the ground, able to carry out the emergency
operations described in this handbook.
Always keep the machine at a safety distance from power lines as indicated in the next chapters.
Use the machine according to the capacity values indicated in the technical features section. The identification
plate shows the maximum number of people allowed on the platform at any one time, the maximum capacity
and the tool and material weight. Never exceed the indicated figures.
Do NOT use the framework of the platform or any of its elements for grounding connection while welding on
platform.
It is absolutely forbidden to load and/or unload persons and/or material with platform not in the access position.
It is the machine owner and/or safety manager’s responsibility to check that the maintenance and repair
operations are carried out by skilled personnel.
