– PLE categories: the various types of PLes and description of general and specific characteristics.

– Structural components: stabilization systems, leveling, frame, turret, swivel, pantograph/elevated arm structure.

– Command and security devices: detection of the control devices and their operation, the discovery of the security devices and their functions.

– Checks to be made before use: visual and functional controls.

– Specific DPI to use with PLEs: helmets, harnesses, hold lanyard and related modes of use including docking points on the platform.

– Safe and risk use: analysis and assessment of the most common risks in the use of PLS (risks of electrocution, environmental risks, fall from above, etc.): displacement and transport, positioning and stabilization, drives and manoeuvres, refueling and parking safely at the end of the work.

– Operational rescue procedures: emergency descent mode.

Practical module for PLes operating on stabilizers (4 hours)

– Identification of structural components: stabilization systems, leveling, frame, revolving turret, pantograph/elevated arm structure, platform and related connection systems.

– Command and security devices: detection of the control devices and their operation, the discovery of the security devices and their functions.

– Pre-use controls: Visual and functional controls of the manufacturer’s intended PLE, control, signaling and safety devices in the PLE instruction manual.

– Checks before road transfer: checking trim conditions (strength weight, lifting structure and stabilizers, etc.).

– Route planning: slopes, access obstacles on the route and at altitude, terrain conditions.

– Placement of the PLE at work: delimitation of the work area, signage to be prepared on public roads, stabilizer positioning and leveling.

– Operational practice tutorial: Performing two-part workspace exercises, observing operational security procedures. Simulations of platform movements at altitude.

– Emergency manoeuvre: performing emergency manoeuvres for the ground recovery of the platform located at altitude.

– Putting the PLE to rest at the end of work: parking in suitable area, precautions against unauthorized use. How batteries are safely recharged (for pLS with battery power).
