High-altitude work generally exists in all aspects of social production and life, in addition to a large number of construction sites, in the non-construction industry also exists in large numbers. In the process of infrastructure construction, operation and maintenance, safety production deserves great attention, and the first is the safety of high-altitude work.

       Today, I want to talk to you about the "small things" that operators must know.

Pre-construction inspection, very important!

     According to the analysis of the "IPAF 2022 Global Safety Report" compiled by the International Aerial Work Platform Alliance (IPAF) on the analysis of anonymous accident data, the most common scenarios occur in platform fall, electric shock, trapped, overturned, mobile lifting platform hit by objects or vehicles.

       The most important reason for such accidents is that operators and related staff do not carry out correct and comprehensive checks on the construction environment and equipment before operation.

       Although the aerial work platform equipment is equipped with safety protection devices and protective measures, it can only play a role if it is properly operated, maintained and used. Therefore, the quality requirements for operators are higher, and they need to have a wealth of theoretical knowledge and practical skills to ensure that accidents can be avoided when working at height.

These areas should be checked before operation

      Before the inspection of the construction of the aerial work platform, we must first walk around the equipment to see whether the appearance of the equipment is normal and whether there are defects. To check the equipment three parts: structure, hydraulic, electric control.

Construction work should start from "small things"

      According to relevant data statistics, from 2012 to 2022, the construction scenarios that caused the most casualties each year on average were construction, forestry/tree care, leasing activities, transportation, etc., and the locations that caused the most accidents were construction sites, roads and highways, courtyards, commercial places, public areas, workshops, and office areas.

        If the correct steps are taken during use, all accidents can be avoided. There are no shortcuts to safe use of high-altitude equipment.

        Guard security, not only lies in the security of the equipment, but also lies in the attention and insistence of the operator itself on security awareness.
