680 Aerial and Serial Lift Safety Skip to main content

Post-Use Inspection

Inspect the lift after use to check for any damage or wear that occurred during operation. Look for hydraulic leaks, electrical issues, or mechanical damage.

Report any defects or safety concerns immediately and ensure that the lift is taken out of service until it is repaired by a qualified technician. Proper documentation ensures that future users are aware of any potential hazards.

Documentation and Reporting

Document any maintenance needs or safety issues in the equipment log. The log helps track the condition of the equipment and ensures that safety issues are addressed promptly.

Ensure that inspection and maintenance records are kept up to date and available for review.
