Scrap and cords are in the scissor-lift path
Keep the lift path clean before the journeyman moves. Scrap, cords, and boxes in the driving lane can damage equipment or create a tip/trip hazard.
Stop if
- Clean up that driving lane before the journeyman moves the lift. Rolling a multi-ton lift over raw scrap metal or loose power lines is a massive safety hazard. Keep that track swept clean.
Watch out
- Do not let a lift roll through loose cords, scrap, or sharp metal.
Check
- Walk the lift path before movement.
- Move cords out of wheel tracks.
- Pick up sheet metal scraps and sharp cutoffs.
- Stack trash and cutoffs in a hopper or safe pile.
- Keep tools out from under tires and outriggers.
