Emergency Lowering Guidance

IntroductionAt Nationwide Platforms, safety is our primary concern in all of our areas of operation.

To help protect your welfare at every height, we’ve created this guide to help familiarise you and your employees with the procedures which could be critical in an emergency.

Please share this guidance with your colleagues and those involved with working at height using powered access platforms.

Remember, we’ll also be updating this document with our latest models over the coming months. If you want to receive updates on when we’ve made updates, simply fill out the contact form on the Emergency Lowering Guidance web page, and we’ll send you an email update with the latest version.

Accessing this emergency descent guidance through “Quick Response” (QR) codes

Throughout 2012 and 2013 we’ll be making our emergency descent guidance available for download directly from the base of most of our platforms. This will be in addition to providing printed and online copies as standard.

Our graphic below explains how you can use any internet enabled phone or tablet fitted with a camera to view and download emergency descent guidance from any of our platforms which have been fitted with a QR code sticker.

Before starting work consider the following:

Emergency Lowering Instructions Nano Push Around Vertical Personnel Lifts

• Will there be a second person in the vicinity of the machine to undertake a rescue if required?

• Have both the operator and rescuer been familiarised with ground controls?

• Can the rescuer gain access to the ground controls? i.e. Ensure that the machine is not parked with the ground controls facing a wall or similar obstruction.

! Warning

While every effort is made to ensure that the information provided is accurate and up to date, we are not able to guarantee the completeness and accuracy of these instructions and you should therefore not rely on them. Nationwide Platforms Ltd accepts no liability for reliance on the contents of this information sheet which has been produced as additional GUIDANCE ONLY and is not intended to replace the manufacturer’s manual. You should refer to the manufacturer’s manual.

You should not operate this Mobile Elevating Work Platform (MEWP) unless you are suitably trained and fully familiarised with its operation and the emergency procedures set out in the manufacturer’s manual. Operating plant necessarily involves risk of injury to the person.

If there is a machine breakdown or if the operator becomes incapacitated it may be necessary to perform an emergency rescue from the ground. Emergency rescues must be rehearsed routinely.

If the controls do not function or you are unsure of their operation please call our Technical Support team on 0845 745 0000 option 3.

As the UK’s largest training provider in our industry, we have a range of courses to help you and your operators to work efficiently and safely at height. Contact us for full details of courses and dates.

Technical advice and training courses: E

Check beneath platform for obstructions

Locate the Emergency Lowering Valve at the side of the machine base. Depress and turn knob counter clockwise 90 degrees and release.

The knob should stop and then click out slightly. The machine should then begin to lower itself. Stand clear of the machine until it is fully lowered.

C Lowering the Platform using emergency lowering valve:

Warning: do not hold onto or place any part of the body beneath the unsupported platform for risk of injury.

Before attempting to lower platform:

• It is imperative that an inspection be carried out to ensure the lowering of the platform is not hindered by obstructions such as steel work, pipes, cables, etc. It may be necessary to retract the extension deck prior to lowering.

• If the operator has been incapacitated ensure they will not be put in additional danger by lowering of the platform. Remember that completing a rescue in 4-6 minutes may be critical.

• If unsure seek help (it may be necessary to carry out a mid air rescue).

• Carefully plan each action before starting to lower the platform.

Lowering the platform using emergency lowering handle: If the platform emergency stop is in it will be necessary to lower the platform using the Emergency Lowering Handle.

Check for any obstructions.

Pull the red Emergency Lowering Handle located at the machine base depending on the model (the descent alarm will not sound but you will hear a hissing sound as the oil flows back through the system).

Lower the platform until it is approximately 7 ft (2.1m) from

the ground and release the Emergency Lowering Handle to stop the descent.

Check for obstructions in scissor pack and that no one is standing under the extension deck if extended.

Pull Emergency Lowering Handle to lower platform fully.

Warning: do not hold onto or place any part of the body through the scissor pack due to crushing risk.
