• Description:
  To prevent injuries while working in aerial lifts: A "pre-job safety plan" should be developed for each job site and reviewed prior to each day on the job site. Mechanical checks should be performed on all equipment at each job site prior to each use. There should be communication between the worker in the elevated lift and ground control crew. Ensure that appropriate fall protection equipment is available and correctly used when working from elevations. Employees should work within job qualifications and job limits.
