Staying Safe: The Do’s And Don’ts Of Operating Boom Trucks
Boom trucks come in all kinds and colors, sizes and shapes and are designed to help people do jobs they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do. While there are a lot of uses for a bucket truck, it’s usually used by people who work for the electric or telephone company. It’s because of these vehicles that workers who need to reach unreal heights can perform their jobs efficiently.
These trucks also have a storage bin in the bucket where workers can store the tools and other items they’ll need while they’re in the bucket. Some bucket trucks even have a double-arm boom; also known as a hydraulic outrigger jack. This piece of equipment offers extra stability for the person working in the bucket. Some bucket trucks have a separate engine to power the bucket, while others power the bucket and the truck itself with the same engine.
All big pieces of equipment, including bucket trucks, have guidelines to follow when it comes to handling them safely. This isn’t to say that a bucket truck is difficult to maneuver or that they’re poorly made pieces of equipment. But, rather that all vehicles, especially specialized vehicles, need to be handled with care so as to avoid accidents.
Following the directions given by the manufacturer of a bucket truck will ensure the safety of those working on and around them. And, OSHA has also set forth its own guidelines for operating these types of vehicles. Some of OSHA’s guidelines for the operation of bucket trucks are as follows:
- Every control in the truck must be clearly defined as to its purpose.
- Every control is to be tested every day before using the truck.
- All manufacturers’ guidelines must be followed with regard to load and distribution.
- Workers must wear protective equipment including gloves, hard hat, goggles, and boots at all times while working in or around the truck.
- Workers must stand firmly in the bucket at all times.
These are just a few of OSHA’s guidelines. They have others that must be followed as well. If workers are trained and use the vehicle properly at all times, it will last for years. Following the guidelines set forth by OSHA as well as those given by the manufacturer will reduce the possibility of accidental injury and death in these trucks.
