Take a look at this video, which goes through an accident in Canada where an operator was killed when his scissor lift came into contact with power lines.

Preliminary half-year data from IPAF's accident reporting project show three fatalities due to electrocution while using aerial work platforms (AWPs). All three fatalities occurred in the United States. Previous data reveal that electrocutions were the single largest cause of fatalities among AWP operators in the US in 2012, and in 2013, seven out of 53 AWP fatalities worldwide - 13% - were the result of electrocution.

The SAF-T Conference Webinar Series will return August 7 at 2 pm Eastern with the session, "Proposed Updates to ANSI and CSA Aerial Work Platform Standards." 

Standards for aerial work platforms are regularly updated, but users and operators may miss what these changes are. In this webinar, Tony Groat, North American manager for the International Powered Access Federation and the executive vice president of AWPT, will discuss the updates that have been proposed for the ANSI and CSA aerial work platform standards, as well as introduce the topic of load sensing on aerial work platforms.
