To perform the duties of the workers of the cradle, persons who have undergone training, attestation in the commission or study room and who have received certificates in the prescribed manner are appointed. It is allowed to work in the cradle for men aged 18 to 55 years, with at least a year of work experience, with a tariff category not lower than III.

Re-testing of knowledge is carried out by the commission of the enterprise:

periodic, at least once every 12 months;
when moving from one enterprise to another;
at the request of an inspector of Gosnadzorohrantruda or an engineering and technical worker to supervise the safe operation of lifts.

Working cradles must have a medical certificate confirming the right to work at height, and a certificate.

They must undergo a medical examination as required.

The admission of the workers of the cradle to work on the lift must be issued by order of the enterprise with the issuance of a production instruction (against signature).

In cases where the service area of the lift is not visible from the driver’s control station and there is no radio or telephone connection between the lift operator and workers in the aerial platform who do not have the right to control the movements of the lift from the aerial platform, to transmit signals, the person responsible for the safe operation of the lifts, should appoint a signalman.

A certified slinger or a cradle worker can be appointed as a signalman.

The number of cradle workers is determined by the lifting capacity of the lift and the floor area (at least 0,5 m2 per person). When assigning two or more work cradles to work on the lift, one of them must be appointed senior.

when installing the lift near a building, stack or structure, the distance between them and the turntable is at least 1m.

Before starting work, the worker of the aerial platform must put on the appropriate protective equipment (helmets, safety belts, goggles) and load the necessary tools and other loads.

After entering the cradle, you should close the entrance to it, fasten yourself to the bracket for attaching the carabiner of the safety belt in the presence of a work permit.

Make sure that continuous communication is guaranteed with the driver: when lifting the working platform up to 10 m - by voice; more than 10m - sign signaling; more than - 22 m - two-way radio or telephone communication.

If the work platform area is not fully visible from the driver's control station, and there is no radio or telephone connection, make sure a signalman is assigned.

If you have to work below the level of the parking lift, check the availability for emergency evacuation.

3. Safety requirements during work

During the operation of the lift, the cradle worker must:

do not sit or stand on the railing of the cradle, do not hang over the railing, carefully observe the upper and side obstacles;
do not install objects on the floor of the cradle to increase the working area;
make sure that the weight of the load in the cradle does not exceed the rated lifting capacity of the lift;
use emergency descent and engine installation only in emergency situations;
work at a safe distance (at least 0,5 m) and without additional loads on the boom knee;
stop working with faulty safety devices (limit load limiter, limit switches, tracking system for orientation of the cradle in a horizontal position, etc.);
do not work during thunderstorms, rain, fog and snowfall, which impede visibility, as well as at an ambient temperature below that indicated in the lift's passport;
do not work in poor lighting conditions (less than 20 lux);
monitor safe movement and, in case of danger, signal to the driver or stop the engine from the remote control installed in the aerial platform;
work only according to the permit when installing the lift at a distance of less than 40 m from the maximum protruding part of the boom to the outermost wire of the power line with a voltage of more than 42 V;
do not drop tools and loads from the cradle located at a height;
do not move from one place to another on the lift, unless specified in the instruction manual.

4. Safety requirements after finishing work

After finishing work, the cradle worker must:

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Ice cubes control drinking alcohol 23.01.2013

Drunkenness is one of the most serious problems in most countries around the world. In small doses, alcohol is even useful, it uplifts the mood and unites people. But not even every adult, wise person knows his measure. And in the morning it comes back to haunt you with a headache, memory lapses, or, even worse, not the most pleasant memories. The solution was proposed by Dhariya Dand, a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dunde developed electronic "ice cubes," small devices that keep track of how much alcohol a person has drunk and give a signal when they should not drink more. The cubes are made in a transparent case, under which multi-colored LED lights, an accelerometer, an infrared receiver, and a battery are hidden. With the help of an accelerometer, the device accurately records the number of sips taken by a person and calculates the approximate amount of alcohol taken. As a fun addition, the lights in the cubes flash to the beat of external sounds, if it's in a nightclub, then you get something like light music.

When a person drinks their first glass, the cube happily flashes green, signaling that there are no problems yet, and you can continue to have a good time. On the second glass, the cube starts flashing yellow, warning that the norm of alcohol taken is already running out. And by the third glass, the light is already turning red, which means it's time to stop drinking, and it's better to switch to other joys of life. Using a wireless protocol, the cube is connected to a smartphone, and if a person does not stop drinking, the mobile phone sends a set SMS message to a given number so that some responsible person takes care of the problem.

Is it possible to work with a crane and a telescopic hoist at the same time, for example - rafters or unhook and mount structures supplied by a crane?
