Module: Digger Derrick | Lesson: General Guidelines | Page 03 of 14

All crew personnel must wear a hard hat, of proper fit and classification, and safety glasses.

An OSHA-approved fall protection system is required, if aerial work is to be performed.

Proper footwear, gloves, hearing protection and protective clothing may also be required.

Personnel must wear suitable insulating gloves and sleeves when working around power lines. Do not allow any un-insulated part of your body to come in contact with pole, load, or equipment.

Keep your Digger Derrick control areas free of obstructions that may interfere with the controls or the people who may have to operate them.

Only operate Digger Derrick controls while standing on the vehicle; never while standing on the ground, unless operating with Radio Remote controls where the operator does not touch the vehicle and the ground at the same time.
