operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's,
safety and responsibilities manuals.
Using the machine for anything other than lifting
personnel, along with their tools and materials,
to an aerial work site is unsafe and dangerous.
Only trained and authorized personnel should
be permitted to operate a machine. If more than
one operator is expected to use a machine at
different times in the same work shift, they must
all be qualified operators and are all expected to
follow all safety rules and instructions in the
operator's, safety and responsibilities manuals.
That means every new operator should perform
a pre-operation inspection, function tests, and a
workplace inspection before using the machine.
