Aerial Lift Fall Protection
Over Water in Shipyards
Aerial lifts are often used in shipyards and boatyards
when erection of staging is impractical. These boom-
supported personnel platforms and bucket trucks (i.e.,
cherry pickers) may cause worker injuries or deaths.
Boom failure, tip-over, falls and ejection may occur if the
equipment is not properly used.
Employers must take measures to ensure a safe work
environment by providing:
• Safe and adequately maintained equipment
• Proper supervision and training
• Fall protection
• Prompt rescue in the event of a fall
Safe Work Practices
• Always tie-off.
• Wear a body harness with a lanyard attached to an
adequate anchorage point.
• Never move the lift with workers elevated.
• Train operators to safely operate equipment.
• Maintain and operate equipment in accord with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Ensure that equipment controls are properly
marked.
• Never override safety devices. Overriding may lead to
accidental or inadvertent movement of the basket or
lift.
• When a lift is on a barge, be aware of the list, trim and
lash down points.
• Place stops to prevent driving off when a lift is near
open edges and capable of movement.
• Know the swing radius to ensure that the aerial lift will
not hit nearby structures as it moves.
• When elevated, never get between structures and the
lift. MOVEMENT COULD CRUSH THE WORKER.
• To prevent tip-overs, it is important to:
• set brakes
• use wheel chocks
• check tire pressure
• extend outriggers
• ensure lift is level (front/back/sides)
• never operate in high winds
• never operate under power lines
Remember
• A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) alone will not help if
a worker falls from heights of more than 40 feet to the
water, or onto objects below (camels, floats, punts,
fenders, or large floating objects). Always tie-off.
• If a lift gets caught on an object or lines, it may cause
an ejection when it comes loose.
• Never lift, push or move objects with an aerial lift; this
action may cause collapse, tip-over, or ejection.
• Never exceed load capacity with the combined weight
of the worker, tools and light materials. The extra
weight may cause a collapse or tip-over.
• The lift capacity is reduced when the lift is not level,
tire pressure is low, or the outriggers are not fully
extended. These conditions may cause a tip-over.
• Half of all fatal falls from aerial lifts occur when
workers are not tied off. One worker was ejected 80
feet from an aerial lift.
• Improper set-up, operation, or exceeding weight
capacity account for twice as many aerial lift fatal falls
as mechanical failure.

  • 2. Remember • A Personal Flotation Device (PFD) alone will not help if a worker falls from heights of more than 40 feet to the water, or onto objects below (camels, floats, punts, fenders, or large floating objects). Always tie-off. • If a lift gets caught on an object or lines, it may cause an ejection when it comes loose. • Never lift, push or move objects with an aerial lift; this action may cause collapse, tip-over, or ejection. • Never exceed load capacity with the combined weight of the worker, tools and light materials. The extra weight may cause a collapse or tip-over. • The lift capacity is reduced when the lift is not level, tire pressure is low, or the outriggers are not fully extended. These conditions may cause a tip-over. • Half of all fatal falls from aerial lifts occur when workers are not tied off. One worker was ejected 80 feet from an aerial lift. • Improper set-up, operation, or exceeding weight capacity account for twice as many aerial lift fatal falls as mechanical failure.
