Scout's Toolbox Talks

๐Ÿ—๏ธ Crane and Rigging Safety

Personnel Lifts (Man Baskets)

Lifting people isnโ€™t the same as lifting materials โ€” the margin for error is zero.

Using man baskets or personnel platforms with cranes requires strict compliance and careful planning. These toolbox talks cover OSHA and ANSI requirements for personnel lifts, proper rigging, approved attachment points, platform inspections, fall protection, and signal communication. Use them to ensure every lift involving workers is performed safely, legally, and without shortcuts.

Use these toolbox talks to train crews on safe crane-suspended personnel lift procedures, OSHA regulations, and fall protection standards when working in man baskets.
