When people think about fall hazards, they often picture roofs or scaffolding. Bucket trucks are sometimes overlooked, even though falls remain one of the leading causes of serious injury in elevated work.
Fall hazards in bucket truck operations can include:
• Sudden equipment movement or failure
• Being struck by tools, materials, or passing vehicles
• Overreaching outside the bucket
• Improper entry and exit
• Working near power lines or uneven ground
This is why fall protection, proper positioning, inspections, and safe operating practices are not optional. They’re critical!
Training isn’t just about knowing the rules. It’s about understanding why they exist, how incidents actually happen, and how to recognize hazards before they lead to injury.
Our on-site bucket truck training helps crews:
• Identify fall hazards specific to their job site
• Use equipment correctly and confidently
• Operate lifts safely in real-world conditions
If your team uses bucket trucks, make sure they’re trained to recognize every fall risk, not just the obvious ones.
