No one should be under or near the man basket during a lift.
Why It Matters:
Falling tools, unsecured materials, or a mechanical failure can cause serious injury or death to anyone below.
Key Points:
- Set up clearly marked exclusion zones beneath the lift path.
- Use barricades, cones, or tape — and keep them maintained.
- Stop the lift immediately if anyone enters the danger zone.
- Store tools inside the basket properly to prevent drops.
✅ Clear ground = clear safety.
Ask the Crew:
- Is the ground area properly secured today?
- Are barricades up and visible?
- Do we have a spotter watching the lift zone?
