Disclaimer
Recommended safety procedures to be employed by all person assembling their Equiptec Adjustable Height Platform (AHP)
Before proceeding with any assembly operations contained in this manual, you must consult with the designated Safety Professional or other responsible
party within your organization prior to attempting any activities contained herein. Your employer is responsible for your safety at all times and thus all
safety regulations, policies and procedures which have been established by your company take precedence over and supersede any information and
guidance contained herein especially as it relates to your personal safety and that of others in proximity to the work being performed. We highly recommend that you
review this assembly manual with a qualified safety professional such as a CSP or equivalent and/or any other supervisory, union or other staff at your site that are
responsible for safety related matters.
The AHP assembly procedure includes the use of powered and manual hand tools and the equipment being assembled is sometimes large and can be quite heavy. It is
comprised mostly of steel and aluminum, including some heavy-gauge structural pieces such as decks and base frames and also large ‘sheet metal’ panels such as those
found on the front and sides of the units.
Hazards may include (but are not limited to) cuts to fingers, arms etc., from metal edges, accidental contact injuries to all parts of the body such as from contact with hard
metal corners and crushing injuries due to components which are of substantial weight and could drop unexpectedly while being moved or assembled. Other physical
hazards include noise and vibration from powered tools, noise caused by contact of powered or manual tools with metal surfaces by dropping, extraneous bits of metal
from screw threads, threaded holes, etc. that could cause an eye injury, and crush injuries to fingers, hands, or any other part of the body. Therefore it is CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT that you have reviewed this manual with the assigned Safety Professional or authority at your location to ensure you have been given all the necessary PPE
and other tools and appliances needed to safely assemble the Equiptec Adjustable Height Platform.
Working at heights during assembly considerations:
Equiptec AHPs were designed to take the place of other more traditional devices for working at heights.
For the most part , your AHP should be able to be assembled from ground level. However, depending on what accessory you are fitting, or the particular situation you
are in, there may be a need to work at height during the assembly procedure. If that is the case, you will need to ensure you are protected from any potential fall from the
device as it is being assembled. This will require the use of a scissor lift, or ‘wheeled stair ladder’ that meets the ANSI and OSHA requirements for safety.
List of required PPE for persons assembling their Equiptec Adjustable Height Platform:
Note: All PPE and safety related equipment must be approved by ANSI/ASSP/ASTM/NIOSH (or other relevant, recognized and accredited body) in order to effectively
protect the assembler during the assembly process!
• Head Protection: Hardhat or Bump Cap
• Hand Protection: Crush and Cut Resistant Gloves
• Eye Protection: Safety Eyewear
• Hearing Protection: Earplugs / Earmuffs
• Foot Protection: Safety Shoes (steel or composite)
• Cut Protection: Cut resistant sleeves and/or heavey duty clothing
