1. If the scissor lift is equipped with a tilt alarm and it sounds, you need to?
If the scissor lift's tilt alarm sounds, stop work immediately and move to more level ground.
2 / 26
2. It is important to know the locations of drop-offs, shaft openings, excavations etc., when operating a scissorlift.
A scissor lift operator should always review their complete surroundings prior to operating the lift.
3 / 26
3. Operators must have respect for personal safety and the safety of others.
The operator shall make decisions on the use and operation of the aerial/scissor lift with due consideration for the fact that his or her own safety as well as the safety of others is dependent on their actions.
4 / 26
4. Basic safety rules that apply are when using an aerial/scissor lift include:
5 / 26
5. Electrocution Hazard is a possibility if safety procedures are not followed.
Nationally, one of the most common and deadly hazards associated with aerial lifts is electrocution from contact with electrical wires and conductors. ANSI and OSHA standards specify minimum safe distances that are to be maintained while working in an aerial lift, as indicated in the table below. If these distances cannot be achieved, do NOT use the equipment.
6 / 26
6. When operating around other equipment take the necessary precautions to prevent a collision by use of warnings such as:
7 / 26
7. If any of the controls do not work properly or there is any other malfunction:
If your aerial lift or scissor lift is in need of repairs or maintenance, it should be locked out/tagged out.
8 / 26
8. To use the platform, you must first make sure that the operator manual for the model and type of lift is ___________.
OSHA / ANSI regulations require "by law" that ALL aerial man lift devices have "operators handbooks" on-board for proper operator instruction and reference.
9 / 26
9. If you have a history of dizziness, seizures or are uncomfortable working above ground, you should:
If you have any health concerns, such as dizziness or seizures, or are uncomfortable with heights, never operate an aerial lift.
10 / 26
10. While each type of lift has several safety precautions, basic safe operating procedures should be followed _________ operation on any aerial platform.
Always follow basic safe operating procedures - before, during and after using an aerial platform.

11. Did you watch the YouTube video titled "Aerial Lift Safety Training Osha Safety Training MYMIC”" prior to taking this quiz?
You must view the YouTube video titled "Aerial Lift Safety Training Osha Safety Training MYMIC" prior to receiving your certification (even if you received a passing score on this quiz).

12. What is the minimum distance that needs to be maintained between the machine and its load from an energized power line?
When working near power lines maintain a minimum clearance of at least 10 feet away from the nearest overhead line. In addition, any conductive object that can be contacted must be maintained at least 10 feet from overhead. If elevated, it should be kept far enough away from power lines that if it tips over, it cannot possibly fall across any power line or even fall near enough to one to represent any electrical hazard.
13 / 26
13. Load limit stands for what?
Overloading the platform can cause the scissor lift to become more and more unstable the higher the platform is elevated. Minimum equipment should be taken up by operators, for their own safety and to protect the forklift itself.
14 / 26
14.
Areas in which the lifts will be operated must also be inspected. During these inspections, operators must pay special attention to any ground depressions or obstructions such as drop-offs, debris and potholes. Secondly, operators should conduct a scan of the sky to ensure there are not any overhead obstructions with which lifts may come in contact. Obstructions may include power lines, trees, pipes, building structures, canopies as well as many other obstacles. Operators should maintain a minimum clearance of at least ten feet from the nearest overhead power lines.

15. Scissor lift accidents can cause what kinds of injuries?
Scissor lift accidents are very serious and not to be taken lightly. However, they are preventable with the right knowledge, protection equipment, and training. In order to prevent boom lift accidents like tip-overs, ejections, electrocutions and falls, aerial lift operators need to follow the safety procedures and precautions listed below that can be broken up into eight main components:

17. When moving the machine, the user should visually verify that other people are clear and that potholes or objects that would affect the stability of the lift are avoided.
When controlling and moving the aerial lift, operators must be aware of their surroundings and ensure they have clear visibility of everything on all sides of them. Do not drive near drop-offs, holes, or loading docks.
18 / 26
18. Before operating a scissor lift, check to see if you are positioned on a slope.
Operating your boom lift or scissor lift on a slope can be extremely dangerous. If possible avoid elevating on slopes - the risk of a tip over increases as you elevate the platform or bucket. In fact, it is recommended you only use your aerial lift on a firm, level surface.

21. Man lift occupants may position themselves outside of the guardrails if they are tied off.
Employees must always stand firmly on the floor of the basket, and shall not sit or climb on the edge of the basket or use planks, ladders, or other devices for a work position.
22 / 26
22. Aerial lift operators must:
Aerial lift drivers must:
23 / 26
23. It is safe to drive a scissor lift quickly over short distances?
Driving too fast can cause the forklift operator to lose control, especially if the traveling distance between forklifts is insufficient, which can lead to tip-overs, striking objects or other forklifts, and pinning or crushing pedestrian workers. Blind spots and intersections are located throughout a typical warehouse and operating at a careful, appropriate speed is imperative to navigating these areas safely.
24 / 26
24. What should you do if you discover defective equipment during an inspection?
If any of the parts of either the lift or vehicle appear defective, do not run the scissor lift. Remove the defective lift out of service till repairs are made by an experienced person.
25 / 26
25. When does the scissor lift need to be inspected?
A scissor lift must be examined every day before to use to ensure that such controls are in safe operating condition. This is known as a pre-start inspection. Before each task shift, a pre-start inspection must be done to ensure that the scissor lift is in safe working condition.
26 / 26
26. Who may operate a scissorlift?
Workers must be trained and certified to operate a scissor lift on the job.
