Let’s not beat around
the bush: the world of construction is a dangerous place. Your
workers put their safety at risk every time they show up for work.
That’s why the OSHA is very strict with its safety
training and guidelines (and rightfully so).
Although most of the
attention on safety is aimed at employee safety, you also need to
protect your other investments— bucket trucks, equipment, etc.—as
well. Fortunately you can hit two birds with one stone when it comes
to bucket trucks by following these tips:
Level Field
Always remind your
employees to park bucket trucks on a level surface before operating
the bucket. Parking on uneven ground can cause the bucket truck to
tip over to one side at the slightest provocation.
Warning Systems
Warning signs should be
placed around the truck while it is in use. This is especially
important if the worksite is along a busy street or highway. Warning
lights should be left on at all times, especially if employees have
to drive at night.
These safety tips
extend beyond your property. Following these tips when using rental
bucket trucks can also help you build trust with a rental service. At
the same time, you can avoid having to replace an entire bucket
truck.
