Safety regulation compliance is becoming
increasingly important in maintenance facilities across the United States. The
growing number of accidents in warehouse and facility centers can be bothersome
to many warehouse owners. Below are some safety tips in using industrial maintenance platforms.
Dos in Using
Industrial Maintenance Platforms
Undertake
the daily checks recommended in the material handbook prior to operation of the
machine.
Ensure
that all instructions, safe working load, and warning decals are clean and
legible.
Make
sure that the platform does not come into contact with fixed objects, such as
buildings, or moving objects, including vehicles, other plant equipment, and
the likes.
Always
replace any removable guard rails, including close and lock access gate, to
enable full edge protection to be maintained.
Ensure
that the load is evenly distributed within the platform.
Ensure
the safety of persons that may enter the area around the platform. If
necessary, cordon off areas to prevent persons entering the danger area.
Make
sure that hands are kept within the confines of the handrail when operating the
machine.
Always
ensure that the area below the platform is clear of obstruction before
lowering.
Don’ts in
Using Industrial Maintenance Platforms
Do
not exceed the rated capacity or the safe working load of the platform.
Do
not make any attempt to increase the working height or outreach of the platform,
including using of stepladders in the platform.
Do
not enter or exit the platform unless the platform is in the lowered and transport
position.
Do
not apply external side loads to the platform or scissor structure.
Do
not allow persons at ground level to operate the controls while the platform is
occupied, unless in an emergency situation.
These are some safety guidelines that every
warehouse worker should keep in mind to avoid accidents.
