Whether you are the employer or the operator, it pays to know the basic safety rules for aerial lifts. Two of them come first.
Hire, train and test operators. Employers need to make sure aerial lift operators are trained to follow safety procedures. We recommend that employees demonstrate their knowledge before they operate the equipment in the field. That way the employer can be confident the operator knows the machine and the safety measures it requires. A well-trained operator will already be familiar with most other safety tips.
Always wear protective equipment. This rule applies to all equipment. Have your hard hat, safety glasses and steel-toe boots ready. If an accident happens, this gear can help limit your injuries. Also avoid loose clothing that could catch on any part of the lift, and tie back long hair.
