Collision and Crush Hazards
• All operators and other personnel
in the work area must wear a
qualified safety helmet.
• Keep all parts of the body within
the perimeter of the platform dur-
ing operation.
• Care should be taken at all times
to avoid contact with stationary
objects (buildings etc.) or moving
objects (vehicles, cranes etc.) to
prevent obstacles from hitting or
interfering with operation control-
lers or operators on the platform.
• During operation, make sure to
check the clearance and ob-
stacles above, around and below
the platform.
• While moving or operating the
machine, pay attention to the line
of sight and blind spots. In cases
where the line of sight is ob-
structed, lookouts should be
arranged.
• When the machine is moving, if
the platform is about 2m (6.6ft)
away from an obstacle, make sure
to move the boom or platform to
approach the obstacle, and do not
drive the machine.
• Non-operators must be at least
1.8m (6ft) away from the machine
while it is working.
• When the machine is working
with the platform elevated, warn
workers/non-workers not to work,
stand or walk under the elevated
boom or platform. If necessary,
place barricades around the work
area on the ground.
• Make sure there are no people
and obstacles below the platform
before lowering the platform.
• Do not place hands, arms, or oth-
er body parts near areas where
they may be crushed.
• If the boom is not lifted by lifting
equipment, do not work under the
platform or boom.
• Make sure that other nearby oper-
ators working at height and on
floors are aware that this MEWP is
working.
• Limit travel speed based on
ground conditions, congestion,
ground slope, location of people,
and other factors.
• Find out the braking distance at
all travel speeds. When traveling
at high speed, reduce the travel
speed before stopping.
• When traveling in confined or en-
closed areas, or when reversing,
do not engage the high speed
gear.
• Before releasing the brake, the
machine must be on a horizontal
surface or secured.
2.4 TOWING, HAULING AND LIFT-
ING SAFETY
• Unless in case of emergency sit-
uations, machine malfunction,
power loss or loading/unloading,
it is strictly prohibited to tow or
drag the machine.
• The towing and dragging of the
machine should follow local poli-
cies and road traffic laws.
• Before towing, hauling or lifting
the machine, make sure that the
boom is stowed, that the turntable
is locked (or if equipped with turn-
table rotation pin, that the turnta-
ble rotation pin is locked), that
there are no loose or unfixed parts
on the machine, and that there are
no tools on the platform.
• Only the lifting points/rigging
lashing points on the chassis can
be used to tow, haul or lift the ma-
chine. Ensure that the machine
lifting points/rigging lashing
points and their attached struc-
tures are intact and that the belt or
rope to be used has sufficient load
strength.
