Elevators must be operated by professional drivers and operators who have undergone specialized training and passed the required examinations, holding valid certifications before taking up their positions. Depending on the actual work conditions, these personnel may act as substitutes for each other, but those filling in must possess the necessary certifications for the positions they are covering and must have the approval of the supervisor. After the construction is completed, the lifting platform on the site needs to be moved, which should be operated by a professional driver.
Leg extensions are an essential preparatory step for the operation of a lift. It is crucial to select a level ground. If the ground is soft or uneven, wooden wedges must be added to secure the load before proceeding with the work.
Generally, the hydraulic lifting platform should first raise and lower the lower arm, then the middle arm, and finally the upper arm. During the rotation operation of the lifting mechanism, rotation can only be initiated after the lower arm has reached a certain height. The rotation process should be slow, and attention must be given to ensure that the distance between each arm and the platform to the various equipment meets safety requirements.
Employees operating the elevator must wear safety belts. When working in a high-voltage area, the elevator body must be grounded according to regulations. The lift work at height should be supervised by the person in charge, who should communicate with the elevator operator via signals. The signals must be clear and accurate.
Before the elevator operation, the person in charge of the work should brief the platform vehicle operators and all participants involved in the work on technical and safety matters. The content should include: the work content and requirements; safety precautions and hazardous points; personnel division and responsibility scope: in addition to inspecting the vehicle condition and the work of the staff, the person in charge must also be responsible for checking the terrain environment and whether the take-off and landing meet the requirements of safety technical measures or the pre-planned work plan. If there are discrepancies, corresponding measures must be formulated before work can commence.
Lift operators must adhere to the maintenance regulations of the machinery, and only after conducting all necessary inspections and maintenance can they start the lift. Before commencing work, they should check the lift's operational range and clear any obstacles that may hinder the lift's rotation or movement.
In the event of any conflict with national or industry regulations, the national or industry regulations shall apply.
