6 Easy Steps That Could Save Your Life

How To Donn A Harness

1) Hold harness by back D-ring. Shake harness to allow all straps to fall in place.
2) If chest, leg and/or waist straps are buckled, release straps and unbuckle at this time.
3) Slip straps over shoulders so D-ring is located in middle of back between shoulder blades.
4) Pull leg strap between legs and connect to opposite end. Repeat with second leg strap. If belted harness, connect waist strap after leg straps.
5) Connect chest strap and position in midchest area. Tighten to keep shoulder straps taut.
6) After all straps have been buckled, tighten all buckles so that harness fits snug but allows full range of movement. Pass excess strap through loop keepers.

MEWP (Mobile Elevated Work Platform)

Hazard Assessment, Elimination and Control

Assess: An employer must assess a work site and identify existing and potential hazards before work begins at the work site or prior to the construction of a new worksite.

Involve: An employer must involve affected workers in the hazard assessment and in the control or eliminate the hazards identified.

OHS: OH&S Code, Part 2 9(1)
Outlines an employer's responsibility to address identified hazards. Specifically, if a hazard assessment identifies an existing or potential hazard, the employer must take measures to eliminate it, or if elimination isn't reasonably practicable, to control it. This section sets the stage for the subsequent sections that detail the hierarchy of controls, starting with engineering controls and progressing to administrative controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) if necessary.

Measure: If an existing or potential hazard to workers is identified during a hazard assessment, an employer must take measures in accordance with this section to :

Eliminate: Eliminate the hazards, or

Control: If elimination is not reasonably practicable, control the hazard

For further information regarding hazard assessment refer to part 2 of the occupational health and safety code.

When working near powerlines, it is crucial to adhere to the minimum safe approach distances (MSAD) to ensure safety and prevent electrical hazards. These distances can vary depending on the voltage of the powerlines and the regulations set by local authorities or organizations.

Never approach power lines with ant part of your machine unless all local, provincial and federal required safety precautions have been taken. Use extreme caution.

Contact with energized power lines can and will cause DEATH or serious injury to persons in the platform and those on the ground in contact or near the machine.

You must assume your machine is NOT electrically insulated unless it is specifically indicated on the machine rating plate.

Only qualified persons may work on electric circuit parts or equipment that has not been de-energized.
