The document discusses different types of lifts used in construction including scissor lifts, forklift elevated platforms, and aerial lifts. It covers proper uses and limitations of lifts, such as not anchoring to adjacent structures from an aerial lift. Requirements for vacating or entering elevated lifts include following manufacturer guidelines and using fall protection like harnesses and lanyards. The document emphasizes preventing catapulting incidents and keeping workers safely within lift rails and platforms.

Editor's Notes
- LJB provides engineering, architectural and safety consulting services to many public and private clients. The divisions I represent focuses on safety and specifically, fall protection. In some ways, it is easier to explain what LJB does not do versus what we do. We do not sell equipment. Although equipment is a very important manner to protect workers from hazards, there are more important aspects to consider when creating a sustainable program. While we know all of the manufacturers from our work on the ANSI Z359 committee, we do not sell any equipment.

- Discuss how I love fall protection. While it is something that is just a part of your job, I, as well as many other at LJB, have dedicated our career to this topic. That is the reasons you see that I am registered as a PE and CSP. In fp, you never have a project that is completely safety or completely engineering. No matter what the solution, there are always aspects of both that need to be considered. For example for a personal fall arrest system, there are obvious structural aspects like the design of the rail or horizontal lifeline to which you attach, the connection to thee building structure, the building structure itself. On the other hand, making sure that a fall arrest system should even be used, is a safety related item. Same as specifying the correct equipment, procedures and training.

- The analogy deals with your behaviors while using the piece of equipment while protected – with a harness in a lift or with a seat belt in a car. The seat belt in a car is for an accident. While we don’t go driving and expect to crash, we wear the seat belt in the case that we do. We use the car as it is designed and under normal operating guidelines. The harness and lanyard should serve the same purpose – to protect when there is an accident. We shouldn’t do risky behaviors assuming the harness and lanyard will automatically protect us for any event.
