SAFETY CORNER

Winning the Safety Race - Why Scissor Lifts Take First

Whether young or old, short or tall, every employee has the right to be safe while performing tasks on the job site, and high-reach work in the construction industry is no exception. Proper ladder usage may seem like common sense, yet according to OSHA, falls remain the No. 1 cause of death in the construction industry. The good news? These falls are almost always preventable. But, it all starts with putting ladders in their place, and low-level scissor lifts are the best ally.

The Problem with Ladders Ladders have long been the go-to tools for work-at-height jobs; they are inexpensive, compact and convenient, but that all comes at a cost, and a high one at that — safety.

There will always be a time and place for ladders, and when set up and used correctly, they can be a great tool for getting high-reach work done. However, setup and usage is also where the problems with ladders arise, and the result of not following proper guidelines can lead to injuries and costs.

OSHA recommends users place extension ladders at a 75-degree angle, set it one-quarter of the working height away from a wall, and ensure the top of a ladder extends 3 feet higher than the elevated surface. Users must also choose ladders that are the appropriate Duty Rating for the task, which ensures it can hold your weight and the weight of your load. And while working on or climbing up and down a ladder, the “3 Point Rule” should always be enforced.

This means users must maintain three points of contact at all times to minimize the risk of slipping and falling. Ladder setup and usage doesn’t sound so common sense anymore, and these are just a few guidelines. It’s no wonder training on proper ladder set up and usage gets overlooked.

In fact, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics study of 1,400 ladder accidents, 66% who were injured had not been trained on how to inspect and set up the ladder. It’s evident the idea that ladders are convenient and show up to the job site ready to go is a myth, which is why they should be considered last for any job. There is, however, equipment that does show up to the job site ready — lowlevel scissor lifts; and users get more than enhanced safety.

Ladders Don’t Size Up Low-level scissor lifts allow workers to reach up to 22-foot working heights, which accounts for about 90 percent of high-reach work.

While many think a lift’s overall size is a setback, low-level units are quite compact and in some cases take up less space than a ladder.

For instance, the legs of a 12-foot stepladder spread nearly 80 inches apart, which means the ladder consumes about 19.43 square feet of floor space. A low-level push-around lift with a 10-foot platform, however, takes up just 10.45 square feet of space. Both offer 16-foot working heights, yet the scissor lift has a 46% smaller footprint, enabling it to be used in more confined areas.

But what about when it comes to navigating through doorways, around tight corners or throughout confined areas? A ladder may be fairly simple to move by collapsing it or folding it up, but the taller it gets, the more cumbersome moving it becomes. Not only do ladders get heavier as they get taller, but those taller heights also make it challenging to get around corners and into tight spaces. Low-level lifts, on the other hand, take lifting and awkward maneuvering out of the equation. Operators can simply lower the units down to an overall height as low as 63.6 inches, and if it’s a self-propelled lift, use the controls on the platform to navigate to the next area. In addition, a zero-turn radius feature on some lifts, coupled with widths as narrow as 30 inches, means maneuvering around 32-inch doorways and down hallways is hassle-free. A lift also eliminates the risk of a strain associated with lugging around a heavy ladder.

Low-level scissor lifts can never compete with ladders’ light weight, but some of the lightest scissor lift models can be used on tile, laminate and raised floors without the risk of damage. Some pusharound units weigh just 575 pounds and have wheel loads as low as 115 psi. Some self-propelled units are more impressive yet, with dual front wheels that enable them to achieve wheel loads as light as 75.8 psi.

We’ve proven low-level scissor lifts can get into nearly all the same areas as ladders. But the impact these small machines can have on worker safety is much larger than their small stature.

Rise Above the Risk High-reach work comes with challenges, and when using a ladder to perform that work, those challenges become compounded and can test the human body. For example, HVAC and plumbing technicians installing pipes and ductwork overhead need ample materials and tools as the job progresses. When they’ve completed one section, they must step down, move the ladder, grab more materials and climb back up. This is not only inefficient, but the repetitive climbing can cause injuries to knees and hips, and standing on the rungs for long periods can lead to painful plantar fascistic. This scenario also sets the installer up for a fall. In fact, ladder users should never carry heavy objects or tools up the ladder.

In addition, once workers are on the ladder their lateral reach is limited, restricting how much work they can accomplish in one spot.

SAFETY CORNER CONTINUED As a result, many are tempted to — and often do — overreach and risk the ladder toppling over. These reasons are why improper ladder usage continues to make OSHA’s Top 10 most cited violations, year after year. In fact, according to the last study provided by the Center for Disease control, 81% of all fall injuries among construction workers in 2011 involved a ladder. All of those injuries likely could have been prevented with a low-level lift.

Some self-propelled low-level scissor lifts can hold as much as 750 pounds and offer as much as 15 square feet of platform space, including their extensions. That’s plenty of capacity for ample materials and supplies. Also, loading the lift with those supplies is substantially easier and less taxing on the body due to lower platform heights. Operators simply load the lift, step up the 20 or so inches to get on the lift, then drive and elevate.

And because workers can load the lift with more materials, they make fewer trips up and down, which enhances productivity. In addition, some units feature integrated pipe racks, which give installers a place to rest longer materials, while ensuring the lift stays balanced even with two people on the lift. These types of features help boost efficiency while maintaining safety.

Don’t Pay the Price Most would agree a low-level lift is substantially safer and more efficient than a ladder, but there is still one problem — accessibility to a low-level scissor lift. If a lift isn’t available on the job site, an employee isn’t likely to ask for it and wait around for it to show up. They will instead move ahead with what they have, which is often a stepladder; and just like that the risk of injuries from a fall on the job skyrockets.

It’s not just injuries employers need to worry about, though. Those falls aren’t cheap. Just one worker’s compensation claim can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is just a fraction of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s estimated $24 billion in annual costs associated with ladder injuries.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, employers are responsible for providing employees with a safe workplace. Making safer equipment, such as low-level scissor lifts, available to employees is just one part of the equation, however. Employers must also

train employees on when and where to use that equipment, and to understand that ladders should always be considered last. If a scissor lift can get in the space, it should always be used in place of a ladder.

In fact, some contractors who clearly understand the risks and associated expense of ladders simply do not allow them on the job site unless absolutely necessary and with specific protocols enforced.

Aside from minimizing injuries and worker’s compensation costs, there is one more benefit to offering low-level lifts not many talk about: employee retention. The workforce is a different landscape than it was 30 years ago and keeping employees is harder than ever.

The younger workforce simply doesn’t want to put their bodies through the day-to-day physical demands of construction work, and those who have been in the industry for years take a bit longer to recover from those tasks.

Providing all employees, whether 25 or 55, with equipment that allows them to do their jobs safely and efficiently not only minimizes their risk of injuries, but also demonstrates that employers value their workers and the time they dedicate to their businesses. The benefits of that are twofold — employees get a safe work site and are generally happier while employers get more productive employees.

Putting Ladders in Their Place Just like a runner wouldn’t expect to win a race injury-free wearing sandals, a contractor shouldn’t expect optimal safety when using a ladder. Safety isn’t a race, but if it were, ladders wouldn’t stand a chance against low-level scissor lifts’ safe and spacious platforms, easy maneuverability or ergonomics. Ladders will likely always be an option when it comes to work-at-height jobs, but there is a time and place for them, and typically it’s last.

FEATURE STORY

Facility Safety: How to Secure Pallet Drop Areas Accessed by Overhead Hoists

Many manufacturing and material handling facilities – especially chemical companies and food processing plants – use overhead hoists to load and unload materials to pallet drop areas or production platforms. In some operations, overhead hoists lift materials up to an elevated work platform instead of using a lift truck. This is the traditional method of lifting super sacks up to the processing platform where they can be dumped into hoppers.

Other facilities may use a lift truck to elevate the material up to the platform, but then will use an overhead hoist to access the material once they are ready to work with the material. This is a common method of emptying bags of ingredients off of a pallet.

In both of these instances, employees typically work around the ledges of these elevated platforms. In these scenarios, a pro-active guarding solution should be installed to keep workers and material from falling from the elevated platform.

When you are looking to secure these areas, it’s important to keep these things in mind: If the operation requires overhead access, then the safety device must be designed to integrate with the machinery that is being used.

For instance, the application may feature an overhead crane used to lift super sacks up to the platform or a vacuum hoist that is used to unload material off of a pallet. In both examples, the safety device in place cannot include overhead mechanics for successful and smooth operation. The safety gate needs to provide a clear overhead path to move the material through the area to be successful.

Take a look at the access required at both the ledge and above the pallet drop or production area. Note how the materials are being loaded and unloaded. If a forklift is lifting material up to the ledge and a hoist is being used to unload the material then the overhead access is only needed on the operator’s side. Also determine if the materials have to be moved to another spot or if will they be picked from one or both sides. These bits of information can dictate the type of safety gate required.

FEATURE STORY CONTINUED Determine the amount of space you have on the pallet drop area.

The overhead device will need enough room to move the material into the pallet drop area. Employees must have enough room to work with the material and be kept safe from any swinging motions from equipment above. This detail will not only keep employees safe, it will also ensure any safety barriers that you install do not impede with productivity.

It’s important to note that chains or ropes that latch across the area will not suffice as fall protection for employees; it won’t help you comply with OSHA and ANSI fall protection regulations either.

Solid protective barriers that are in place at all times — including when material is being loaded, picked, staged, removed, etc. — are needed in these applications – any that employees are working on elevated surfaces of four feet or more. In the selection process, make sure you note any special details about your application and equipment before you work with a safety gate provider to determine the best solution for your needs.

Breathe New Life into Your Forklift with the Right Attachment Rotators Rotators are used in applications where the operator needs to rotate the forks, or the load of palletized containers, boxes or drums. The opening in the center of the rotator adds safety by giving the operator optimal visibility.

Understanding the most common forklift attachments and their benefits can dramatically increase productivity in your warehouse and add longevity to your forklift. In addition to the side-shifter, fork positioners and rotators, you can also choose from a variety of other attachments including: multi-fork positioners, numerous styles of clamps for bales, concrete, appliances and drums, as well as roll clamps, push pulls, and other specialty attachments.

Article courtesy of TVH. www.TVH.com. networkeditorial@wcinet.com While forks are undeniably the most popular attachment for a forklift, they are not always the right tool for the job. Material handling needs have evolved over the years to the point where the standard fork is no longer able to complete certain tasks safely or efficiently. While the tried and true forks will always be a staple in the industry, a wide variety of forklift attachments are helping to extend the life and capabilities of your forklift truck.

Many different forklift attachment designs and configurations have been developed over the years to help provide safer product handling, reduce pallet damage and increase efficiency and productivity in the workplace. Gone are the days when lifting and lowering pallets were your only option. Today, there are forklift attachments to suit almost any job, and without them, it would be impossible to move certain loads within the workplace.

It is amazing what new capabilities a forklift can have when outfitted with the proper attachment. Choosing the right one can increase productivity of product handling dramatically, yet with the hundreds of different options available the process can be daunting.

Understanding the most common forklift attachments and their benefits is essential.

The most common attachments in the workplace are: Side-shifter Side-shifters are one of the most common attachments used today.

They allow the operator to reposition the load left-to-right without having to move the lift truck. A side-shifter makes it easy for the operator to line up the pallets without moving the entire forklift.

They have become an essential tool in the material handling industry.

Fork Positioners Fork positioners are another very common attachment used today to add versatility to your forklift. This attachment allows the forks to be moved closer or further away from each other, allowing the operator to handle different size pallets and odd sized objects faster and more effectively. This attachment significantly saves time and money by eliminating the need to stop the forklift to manually adjust the fork spread for each load. It greatly improves load handling times while helping to reduce fuel consumption, truck wear and pallet damage.

3 Questions to Ask When Determining the Best Forklift for Your Operation Ensure efficient, reliable operation by choosing the right forklift and fuel Fleet managers have a lot to take into consideration when deciding which forklift, and forklift fuel, is best suited to their business’s needs.

The material handling equipment a business chooses is a big investment, affecting everything from productivity and operating costs to emissions. But, ultimately, it can provide a substantial ROI. An overwhelming number of material handling professionals are discovering propane to be the right fit for their operation and budget. In fact, more than 90 percent of Class 4 and 5 operators are using propane-powered forklifts, according to data from the Propane Education & Research Council.

Other facilities choose to operate with electric forklifts, but oftentimes overlook some of the drawbacks that come with electric equipment. Here are three questions facility managers should ask themselves when selecting the best forklift for their operation: 1. Does your business operate 24/7?

Businesses operating around the clock need material handling equipment that can keep up and get the job done. Propane-powered forklifts ensure employees have all the advantages they need to work effectively, providing long-term productivity and performance and 100 percent power throughout operation. According to data from PERC, propane also has the ability to push heavy loads at full capacity better than electric forklifts.

Plus, propane provides the quick refueling necessary to keep material moving. Employees can simply swap out an empty propane cylinder for a full one, which takes just a few moments and eliminates the need for additional expensive, heavy batteries or dedicated staff to manage the battery maintenance process. With propane, employees can avoid downtime for recharging, too.

One propane cylinder typically lasts an entire eight-hour shift, so businesses can rely on uninterrupted operational capacity. Electric forklifts, on the other hand, can often require hours of recharging and strict battery management. Businesses can also set up a tailored refueling schedule with their local propane supplier to ensure propane cylinder cages are always full.

2. Does your company place a premium on being clean?

“Going green” and operating with an environmentally-friendly mindset is a growing trend across the country. There are many ways facilities can become “greener”, or more energy efficient, one of which includes the type of equipment, and fuel, they choose to move materials on a day-to-day basis.

For businesses looking to reduce emissions, decrease their carbon footprint, and mitigate harmful effects to the environment and their community, propane is the best choice. Many material handling professionals are surprised to learn that, environmentally speaking, propane has an edge over other forklift fuels.

Propane is a low-carbon alternative fuel that can produce significantly fewer emissions than diesel, gasoline, and electricity in a wide range of applications. A comparative emissions analysis of forklifts conducted by PERC, in partnership with the Gas Technology Institute, revealed that propane forklifts, when compared with electric, can reduce SOx emissions by 76 percent. While it’s true that electric forklifts produce zero emissions during normal operation, it’s important for facility managers to account for the emissions produced in the creation and transmission of electric batteries. That includes all of the emissions produced at coal-fired plants where electricity is generated, as well as the emissions during transportation to the facility. When the “site-to-source” emissions are considered, electrics emissions profile is less impressive.

Compared with gasoline forklifts, propane forklifts produce 15 percent fewer SOx emissions, 17 percent fewer NOx emissions, and 16 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Best-in-class propane forklift engines can produce 97 percent fewer hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide emissions when compared with similarly-sized diesel forklift engines. Plus, well-maintained propane forklifts meet or exceed nationwide indoor air quality standards, while diesel models produce higher amounts of carbon monoxide and other harmful emissions.

3. Is cost a driving factor?

Cost is often top-of-mind for facility managers as they make business decisions — including purchasing new material handling equipment. In fact, in a survey from PERC, fleet managers rated initial capital cost as one of the top five important factors when purchasing a forklift.

Compared with electric, propane forklifts have a 30 percent lower capital cost. Beyond capital cost, propane has no hidden costs and provides savings throughout ownership compared with electric and diesel equipment. Electric forklifts get costly when you consider battery purchases and recharging equipment. Battery life and power output also diminish over time with electric forklifts, which lead to future costs that can go overlooked.

Aside from the initial equipment purchase and the cost of fuel, businesses operating propane forklifts are only responsible for maintenance and cylinder storage, which they can lease from their local propane supplier. For additional cost savings, facility managers may be able to lock in a fuel price with their propane supplier.

Choosing the right forklift can have a substantial impact on business. As facility managers work to select the best equipment, it’s important to ask themselves these questions and familiarize themselves with the benefits of various forklift fuels. More and more professionals in the material handling, distribution, and logistics industry are trusting propane-powered forklifts to get the job done while providing long-term productivity and performance, contributing to a cleaner operation, and keeping costs in check.
