Safety Responsibilities EEC-0052 V1.2
Safety Responsibilities
Safety is more than reading and following proper operating instructions or
procedures. Safety is achieved by having the appropriate state of mind at all times while
operating or working around this equipment. Having a positive attitude towards safety is
the most important factor in accident and equipment failure prevention.
Any individual who will operate, supervise, rig loads, service, or work near this
boom truck shall read and understand this manual prior to operation. Failure to read
this manual is a misuse of this boom truck. Death or serious injury can result from the
misuse or improper maintenance of this boom truck.
It is your responsibility to know and understand the specific requirements and
hazards that exist, including adverse weather and ground conditions. Remember that
YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect you, but also protect
the people around you. Study this manual and make it a working part of your safety
program. Keep in mind that this manual is written only for this specific type of machine.
Practice all other usual and customary safe working precautions, and above all:
REMEMBER – SAFETY IS UP TO YOU
YOU CAN PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Why is SAFETY important to YOU?
3 BIG REASONS
Accidents DISABLE and KILL
Accidents COST
Accidents CAN BE AVOIDED
Your safety, along with the safety of all personnel involved with this boom truck,
is of utmost concern to Elliott Equipment Company. This manual has been developed
with the safety of all personnel that work around, with, or operated this equipment as
our primary goal.
Safety Responsibilities EEC-0052 V1.2
Safety Responsibilities
It is your responsibility to know and understand this specific requirements and
hazards that exist. It is also your responsibility to know and understand all government
regulations that apply to the work being performed with this boom truck. You shall
make these items known to all personnel working with this equipment or in the area, so
that everyone can take the necessary and required safety precautions. Failure to read
these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
It is your responsibility to operate and maintain your boom truck with skill, good
judgment, and caution. Following recognized safety procedures will help you avoid
accidents. Modifications to any part of this boom truck can create a safety hazard and
therefore shall not be made without written approval from Elliott Equipment Company.
Use only Elliott factory approved parts to maintain this equipment. If this boom truck is
rebuilt or remounted, mounting procedures, re-testing, and re-certification are
required in accordance to instructions provided by Elliott Equipment Company.
Safety is dependent on all people associated with this boom truck. The overall
condition of the equipment, maintenance and inspection procedures are just as
important as safe operating procedures and a positive attitude towards safety. All of
these procedures properly applied will significantly reduce the likelihood of an accident
or equipment failure.
Management/Supervisory Responsibilities
As an owner or employer, it is your responsibility to establish a safe working
environment for your operator and other employees or people working in within
proximity of your equipment. It is your responsibility to instruct or provide instruction
to the operator in safe operation of your equipment. It is also your responsibility to
provide the operator with properly maintained equipment and qualified crewmembers.
Verify that operators are properly trained, competent, physically fit, and if required by
local regulations or project requirements, licensed. Good vision, good judgment,
coordination, and mental ability are required. Any individual that lacks any of these
qualities should not be allowed to operate a boom truck.
Safety Responsibilities EEC-0052 V1.2
Safety Responsibilities
Signal personnel must also have good vision and sound judgment, know
standard crane signals and be able to clearly give signals. They must have sufficient
experience to recognize hazards and signal the operator to avoid them.
Riggers must have the ability to determine weights and distances. Riggers must
also demonstrate the ability to select and properly use lifting tackle. It is the
responsibility of the management and supervisor to see that riggers are properly
trained.
Crewmembers must be given specific safety responsibilities and potential
hazards. Crewmembers not required for the lifting operation shall be instructed to stay
clear of the lift. Crewmembers must also be instructed to report any unsafe
conditions to the operator, supervisor or management.
Operator’s Responsibilities
Safety must be the operator’s most important concern. The operator must refuse
to operate the boom truck when knowing it is unsafe and should always consult his/her
supervisor if there is any doubt regarding safety. The operator must read and
understand the Owner’s manual and verify that the equipment is in proper working order
and properly set up before operating. The operator must be alert, physically fit, and free
from the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medications that might affect his/her eyesight,
hearing, reactions, or judgment.
Before and during each use, the operator shall measure wind speed from the
aerial platform at the height of use with an anemometer. Do not allow personnel lifts in
wind speeds exceeding 20 miles per hour (32 kilometers per hour) at the raised platform
height when the platform is attached to the boom or jib unless otherwise indicated on
the load chart.
Winds aloft can be much stronger than at the ground. Follow all applicable
instructions for operating an anemometer. Weather can be unpredictable, and the
operator must determine prior to operation whether it is safe to use the equipment given
the conditions. Operators should be aware of high or erratic winds, electric storms,
snow, ice, sleet, or other adverse weather conditions that could affect the safety of
Safety Responsibilities EEC-0052 V1.2
Safety Responsibilities
personnel or property. If high winds or adverse weather conditions are encountered, do
not use the equipment. If high winds or adverse weather conditions develop during the
lift, terminate the lift.
The operator must see that unnecessary people, equipment and material are
kept out of the work area. The area around the machine shall be kept in order and
properly barricaded.
The operator must understand and be able to accurately interpret the load chart
on the boom truck. It is the operator’s responsibility to determine that the machine can
safely lift and maneuver the load though the range of the lift prior to attempting to lift it.
If any portion of the lift creates a condition of blocked eyesight for the operator, or
when operating in or around hazardous areas, a signal person must be used. Because
the operator is not in the best position to judge distances and may not be able to see all
areas of the work area, a signal person may be necessary at other times. The operator
must understand standard crane signals and take signals from only one designated
signal person. The operator, however, shall take a stop signal from anyone.
Signal Person’s Responsibilities
The signal person must have good vision and sound judgment. The signal
person must know the standard crane signals and be able to give these signals clearly
and quickly. The signal person must also have appropriate experience to be able to
recognize hazards and be able to signal the operator to avoid them. The signal
person’s primary duty is to assist the operator in safe and efficient operation. The
operator’s must depend on the signal person to direct load movements without
endangering people or property. The signal person must also have a clear
understanding of the work being done, and how all steps of the operation fit together.
This will allow the signal person to safely coordinate the job with the operator and
all other crewmembers. The signal person must take up a position where they can be
clearly seen by the operator and clearly observe the entire operation. Standard crane
Safety Responsibilities EEC-0052 V1.2
Safety Responsibilities
signals must be used unless operator and signal person agree upon an alternative
method of communication.
Rigger’s Responsibilities
Riggers must be able to accurately determine weights and distances, and be
able to select and properly use lifting tackle for the requirements of the lift. Riggers are
also required to understand and abide by crewmember’s responsibilities.
Crewmember’s Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of all crewmembers to report any unsafe condition or
practice that is recognized to the job supervisor. Everyone who works around cranes or
boom trucks, must obey all warning signs and watch out for his or her own safety and
the safety of others. Crewmembers setting up equipment or handling loads are
expected to know proper machine erection and rigging procedures.
Crewmembers must watch for hazards during operations and alert the operator
and signal person of any dangers such as power lines, unexpected presence of people,
other equipment or unstable ground conditions.
