About the Lift Meeting Sheet

This Lift Meeting Sheet provides essential guidelines for the safe operation of aerial lifts, often used instead of ladders and scaffolding for their safety and efficiency. This resource outlines critical safety checks before using a lift, including a pre-start inspection to verify that all components like fluids, batteries, controls, and safety systems are in good working condition. It discusses the importance of correct positioning to avoid electrical hazards and ensure the lift is on stable ground to prevent tip-overs. The guide also stresses the necessity of using personal protective equipment (PPE) such as helmets, gloves, and safety harnesses, and adheres to strict load-capacity limits to avoid overloading. Safety practices covered include establishing a perimeter around the work area to protect bystanders, avoiding operations in adverse weather conditions, and ensuring all movement is planned to prevent collisions.
