Aerial work vehicle, with its convenient and flexible characteristics, provides full convenience for those who need to implement the operation at the height, but also greatly improve the work efficiency and reduce the construction cost. Both on construction sites and manufacturing sites are becoming more common. At the same time, the related security issues are often ignored. Today, Xiaobian will discuss with you the safety risks related to high-altitude work vehicles and the corresponding safety countermeasures.

      There are various types of operation vehicles, such as scissor fork operation vehicles that can provide up and down lifting functions, telescopic arm type and folding arm type operation vehicles that can move up and down and back and forth. But the security risks are much the same. Among them, it mainly includes: electric shock danger, tipping danger, collision danger, height falling danger and so on.

     Electric shock hazard

The vast majority of aerial vehicles are not protected by insulation, so the risk of electric shock is absolutely fatal. And, sometimes, even without direct contact with the power line, it is still possible to be struck by an arc. As a result:

If possible, avoid parking the vehicle under the power line.

If it is absolutely unavoidable, a safe distance must be maintained. That is, any part or load of the working vehicle must be kept at least 3 meters away from the power line and electrical equipment. The higher the voltage, the greater the safety distance.

Before you can't determine whether the line is powered off, assume it is live and never act rashly.

Crush risk

Scissor and fork truck in the process of rising and falling; In the process of lateral movement, the telescopic arm type and folding arm type operations are very likely to have serious accidents in which the operators are squeezed by the objects above or around them. As a result:

Operators must always pay attention to the direction of movement.

All obstacles must be avoided.

All parts of the body should be kept inside the platform during operation.
