The written work procedures used for this training should be obtained from the manufacturer, if possible, or prepared as necessary for the employee's information and use. Employees who will operate powered platforms with intermittent stabilization systems should receive instruction in the specific ascent and descent procedures involving the assembly and disassembly of the stabilizer ties.
