An aerial lift truck is being used to perform electrical work
near a wall.
Before moving on to the next work site, the worker tries to stow the outriggers using the operating levers on the side of the vehicle. |
|
Because only the two outriggers on the wall side were
lowered, the aerial lift truck tilted toward the wall, pinning the worker
between the vehicle and the wall.
|
| Tips for preventing similar accidents
|
| 1. |
Undergo preliminary safety training on how to properly
operate outriggers. |
| 2. |
When performing work using an aerial lift truck, create a
work plan in advance that ensures a wide enough space for the operator to work
the machine safely. Ensure that the worker is fully aware of this plan. |
| 3. |
When performing work that is potentially hazardous, assign someone to serve as a guide and perform work in accordance with a work plan while carefully looking at the work site conditions. |
