    Overview of bucket truck safety

    The Keller Bucket Truck Safety training program is intended to help prevent
    accidents, injuries and fatalities that may be caused by the improper and unsafe
    use of bucket trucks.

    The training program is based on the requirements of the Occupations Safety and
    Health Administration (OSHA) standard, 1910.67, which pertains to vehicle-
    mounted elevating and rotating work platforms, and on guidelines and regulations
    established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Scaffold
    Industry Association (SIA). Industry experts were also consulted.

    Along with the instructional video tape, this handbook will help you understand
    government and industry regulations and do your job safely.

    Note: For purposes of this training program, the term “bucket truck” is used
    throughout to refer to various types of vehicle-mounted elevation and rotating work
    platforms.

    Goal

    The goal of the program is to use government and industry guidelines and
    regulations to introduce or reinforce approved safety procedures that apply in most
    situations involving bucket trucks.

    Objectives

    Objectives of the program include:

     Discussing the hazards associated with bucket trucks and how to avoid
    them.

     Discussing the general requirements of OSHA, ANSI, SIA regulations and


    recommendations as they pertain to bucket trucks.

    General requirements of the OSHA standard

    The OSHA standard addresses the following bucket truck-related topics:

     Working in the bucket;

     Required personal protective equipment;

     Boom and bucket load limits;

     Use of brakes, outriggers, and wheel chocks; and

     Securing the boom before moving the vehicle.

    1.1. Definitions

    Bucket truck

    Any vehicle-mounted device, telescoping or articulating, or both, which is used to


    position personnel.

    Authorized employee

    One who has completed an organization’s required safety training for the safe
    operation of bucket trucks.

    1.2. Overview of bucket truck hazards

    Some potential hazards associated with bucket truck work include traffic accidents;
    truck tip-over’s energized electrical lines and conductors; fire; and pinch points.

    1.3. Overview of bucket trucks

    Bucket trucks are used for many tasks and come in many sizes and configurations.

    Bucket truck components

    Most have four major components:

     Cab-chassis;
     Stabilization system;
     Truck body; and
     Aerial device.

    1.4. Bucket depth requirement

    Buckets or “baskets” are required to be at lease 39” deep to put the lip above the
    waists of most workers and reduce the risk of falling out. Some buckets are 42”
    deep.

    1.5. Do not thwart safety features

    Safety features such as guards; outrigger interlock and ground fault interrupter
    circuits; and warning labels are included on bucket trucks. These are designed to
    help prevent accidents and may not be modified or removed.

    1.6. Insulated or non-insulated classification

    Bucket trucks must be classified as insulated to non-insulated, but even insulated


    models will not protect workers in the bucket from phase-to-phase or phase-to-
    ground contacts.

    1.7. Electrocution hazard

    Whenever you operate a bucket truck in the vicinity of utility lines the potential for
    electrocution exists. Even house drops and telephone circuits can be energized
    with enough voltage to kill.

    1.8. Coating on wires is protection for wires not insulation

    Although many believe the coating on wire is insulation, it is actually designed to


    protect the wires from the elements. It will not protect you from electrocution.

    1.9. Indirect electrocution hazard

    In addition, trees and other objects may be electrifies by contact with conductors
    and have caused many electrocutions.
