3 The site rule

SITE RULE · EVERY ELEVATION

Hard hat on. Harness on and clipped to the platform anchor point.

Guardrails are the scissor-lift fall-protection method; tie-off isn't federally required there — it is on boom-type lifts. Harness & hat required under site policy. Clip only to a manufacturer-rated anchor. [VERIFY WITH SME]

1 Firm · Flat · Level 2 Guardrails up, gate closed 3 Don't move elevated unless allowed 4 10 ft from power lines 5 Know both E-Stops 6 Know the descent rescue path 7 Mind the danger zone 8 Stay within rated load
