Bucket Truck Safety: Extending Your Safety recently released by Coastal Training Technologies®

buc

Virginia Beach, VA- Bucket trucks make working at high elevations manageable, but they must be used safely to avoid serious accidents. Bucket Trucks: Extending Your Safety, a new DVD/video program from Coastal, is a complete primer on bucket truck safety that every operator will value.

The program covers everything from pre-trip inspections to avoiding overhead power lines that can cause electrocution. Employees will also learn how to wear the right PPE, including fall arrest equipment; pre-plan their routes of travel; park their trucks on level ground; and the importance of never exceeding a truck's lift capacity.

When your employees follow these important safety tips, they will be in compliance with the OSHA Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and Rotating Work Platform Standard (29 CFR 1910.67) and they will be fully informed on how to operate and work safely in bucket trucks.
