Aerial work platform

The basket is at height before anyone has looked hard at the ground it is standing on.

Falls from height 10–15 min per run

The platform is only as good as the ground under it.

Anyone who takes a platform up has done the same set-up a hundred times: outriggers out, ground firm, guardrail closed, harness clipped. The set-up is not the hard part. Leaving one item of it out on a busy morning is.

This one is for the people who go up and for the person who signs the work off. It puts them in the minutes before the lift, when the ground is soft on one side and the schedule says go.

What a team does in it

One run, three parts. A team can go back to any of them as often as it needs, and most do.

  1. 1

    Look at the ground first

    A team walks the standing area, finds the soft edge and the covered opening, and decides where the machine may go.

  2. 2

    Set up and check each other

    Outriggers, guardrails, harness and anchor point are worked through out loud, one person naming them, the other confirming.

  3. 3

    Handle it going wrong

    A load shifts, the basket tilts, someone leans out. The team goes through the response until it comes first.

Next to it in the same cluster

Teams that meet this hazard usually meet the others on the same shift. The cluster page Falls from height holds all of them together.

Bring the part of your assessment that names work at height. We take this training end to end, the same version your people would get.

What happens in the demo

  1. You pick the hazard From your own risk assessment, not from a demo script.
  2. We go through the training Start to finish, the same version your people would get.
  3. We look at your site Who would run it, on which shifts, and what a first group needs.
