cherry picker safety

Operating a cherry-picker safely is crucial for ensuring both worker safety and efficiency on the job. Before use, always conduct a thorough pre-operation inspection, checking for any mechanical issues or hazards. It’s essential to ensure that the ground is stable and level to prevent tipping. Operators must be trained and certified, utilising appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) while adhering to all safety guidelines, including never exceeding the weight limit. Clear communication among crew members is vital when maneuvering the machine, particularly in busy areas. Always keep a safe distance from power lines and other potential hazards to maintain a secure working environment.
