SCISSOR LIFT SAFETY TIPS

We believe that the successful control of lifting operations and safe use of lift equipment requires a high level of management pledge, professional competence, and adequate resources. Essential to the success of any Lifting Operation is the fact that it must be accepted by managers, those responsible for lifting operations and employees prior to the start. These stakeholders must do all that is reasonably practicable to achieve compliance with statutory duties arising from health and safety legislation, Local state guidance and advice.

Communication is playing a vital role in lifting activity. Failures in communications are often root causes of lifting incidents and can also be the most difficult to detect. Good training and obedience to correct procedures are vital but checking the actual situation at the worksite is of utmost importance. For example:-

TRENCHES & EXCAVATIONS SAFETY

• Are the employees concerned all from the same company?

• Do they all understand a common language?

• If not is there an established system of signals in strict use that they all know and understand?

• Warning signage is displayed where the employees are able to see it?

• What different methods of communication are able to be used?

• What communication is required between the worksite and the source of any technical assistance elsewhere?

Two way of communication is important, both the employees should understand & acknowledge the communication shared. Communication also extends to warning employees of the lifting activity and keeping the lift area clear of employees not involved in the lifting operation.

PASS METHOD OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER USAGE

All members of the lifting team must be sure of their individual tasks and their team members' roles in order to fully and easily communicate with one another. Nominated signallers shall be clearly and separately identifiable, by use of reflective jackets or other conspicuous clothing or marking. Good quality of communications is essential especially when any part of the lift is not clearly visible to any of the team members. If a signal is not clear to a member of the lift team operating any lifting equipment, then the operation shall cease to progress.

Never start any lifting operation until all concerned have been briefed in a Pre-Start Meeting/Pep Talk, Tool Box Talk(TBT), ensuring that they understand their role and responsibilities and that they have signed onto the Permit-to-Work(PTW)/Work Permit or record of attendance at the Pre-Start Meeting.
