Equipment Qualification

• ISO 90012008
• Sustainable quality system in production of
  equipment - an added layer of protection and 3rd
  party auditing
• UL 3rd Party Certification
• UL examiners regularly inspect equipment during
  production to verify consistent sustained
  production as designed and originally tested and
  listed, driving a safer, more reliable product.
• Standard Work Instructions (SWI)
• Investment in reliable customer experience
  regardless of which Spider location provides the
  equipment - only Spider invests in this

9
Equipment Sourcing
Look for

• Multiple locations with a large inventory to rent
  equipment and the capability to support
  fleet-owned equipment with local parts and repair
  services
• ISO 90012008 audited certification of the
  manufacturer of the equipment independent
  verification of quality
• Manufacturer as direct supplier for best
  responsiveness
• Certified trainers, technicians and field labor
  crews to provide project support ranging from
  supervision only to turnkey labor

10
Equipment Sourcing Cont.

• Products that are 3rd party inspected, such as by
  Underwriters Laboratory or CUL for better safety
• Rental fleet that is thoroughly serviced
  following each rental to extensively documented
  standard work instruction for best total value
• Versatile products that stretch your budget to
  allow repurposing equipment to other jobs
• Reputation ask about supplier performance, talk
  to current customers
• Longevity theres no better credential for the
  suppliers into a risk-intense environment.
  Staying power matters

11
Use Appropriate Safety Systems

• Each type of access equipment has unique safety
  requirements
• Example Drum hoist and ST17
• Every hoist is required to have both an Overload
  and an Overspeed safety system
• Brakes must be dual action
• 1926.451 requirement for brakes to engage when
  either an accelerated overspeed or a shock force
  is applied
• Fall Protection is required with man-lifts/boom
  lifts
• Suspended scaffolds must have a PFAS
  Independent Lifelines

12
Quality training

• Competent Person Training
• Need to meet OSHA standards provides suspended
  scaffold operations training on hazard awareness
  mitigation, fall protection, rigging
• Industrial courses focus on rigging hoist
  operation use in industrial applications

13
Accident Prevention Programwith Pre- planning

• Worker training
• Hazard recognition
• Safe rigging practices
• Communication
• Basic self-rescue
• Understand assisted rescue concept
• Mitigate Risk 100 Fall Protection
• Qualified and Competent Person
• roles clearly defined and followed
• Scheduled daily inspections
• Regular maintenance of all equipment
• Site-specific rescue plan prior to starting

14
Prompt Response is Criticalfor Risk at Heights

• What is your current plan?
• Account for specific job site rules
• Be proactive - site specific fall protection plan
• Plans must be in place before start work
• Find out if theres compliance space or
  restricted access area
• Be prepared for remote area that you can not rely
  on 911
• Typically a quality accident and training program
  will include initial training CPT
• Have a formal written safety plan
• Pre-Task Planning Form (JHA)
