Safety is paramount when it comes to operating an aerial work platform, which includes scissor lifts. In fact, OSHA emphasizes that operator training, machine maintenance, stabilization and positioning are important in hazard prevention and worker well-being. As a result, when operating an aerial lift, such as the Genie 1930 scissor lift, be mindful of safety features like drip diapers, tires, safety decals and more.
As a slab scissor lift, the Genie 1930 is easy to maneuver in tight spaces, which makes it ideal for improving efficiency and productivity around a warehouse. Additionally, its quiet electric operation supports its indoor uses. With its primary uses inside manufacturing facilities and other warehouses, safety is of the utmost importance. For more, the following outlines various safety replacement parts from Aerial Equipment Parts that fit Genie lifts.
What are the key safety features of drip diapers for lifts like the Genie 1930?
For indoor AWPs, drip diapers offer many safety benefits by catching any fluids that may leak and create slippery floors. These diapers (also known as belly tarps or oil diapers) also help mitigate potential fire hazards or equipment breakdown due to exposure to fluid vapor or the fluid itself. Additionally, drip diapers provide floor protection and reduce costs by keeping expensive warehouse floors in good condition. In short, the aerial lifts, worksites, workers and other individuals present in areas near this type of equipment are more protected when drip diapers are included as one of many safety measures.
What are some additional safety features of AWPs?
Besides drip diapers, other key safety features include warning lights, decals and labels, horns and other platform components. In addition to these items, here are five more safety features often found on scissor lifts:
- Guardrails: Guardrails provide a barrier around the scissor lift platform to ensure that workers do not slip and fall off the edge.
- Kill switch: This emergency stop feature allows operators to immediately cut power and stop lift movement if needed. This feature is especially important in the event of any malfunctions with controls, mobility or the platform itself.
- Pothole protection: With pothole protection, lifts like the Genie 1930 maintain platform stability even when the machine is negotiating treacherous, uneven surfaces. For example, if a wheel separates from the surface below it, this protective system can reduce the potential for tipping.
- Platform Capacity Indicators: The purpose of platform capacity indicators is to prevent weight from exceeding the designated safe load maximum. Newer MEWPs may include load sensing systems that serve a similar function.
- Tilt alarms: These features warn operators of dangerous inclines or otherwise unstable conditions.
