Rosie's answer

Published by SALUS

To prevent disregard of operating procedures and safety instructions, it is crucial to ensure that only trained and authorized personnel operate the machinery. Operators should learn and practice the principles of safe machine operation. [1]

It is the operator's responsibility to follow all safety rules and instructions. Using the machine for anything other than lifting personnel, along with their tools and materials, to an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous. [2] [2]

Each new operator should perform a pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a workplace inspection before using the machine. [3]

A malfunctioning machine must never be used. If malfunctions are discovered, the machine must be tagged and removed from service. Repairs to the machine may only be made by a qualified service technician, according to the manufacturer's specifications. After repairs are completed, the operator must perform a pre-operation inspection and function tests again before putting the machine into service. [4] [4]
