Or. Admin. Code § 437-003-0094 - Personnel Platforms
Whenever a lift truck is used for lifting personnel without controls at the platform, the following precautions shall be taken for the protection of personnel being elevated:
(1) A work platform equipped with standard
guardrails or equivalent means, and firmly secured to the lifting carriage or
forks, shall be used.
(2) The
hydraulic system shall be so designed that the lift mechanism will not drop
faster than 135 feet per minute in the event of a failure in any part of the
system.
(3) An operator shall
attend the lift equipment while workers are on the platform.
(4) The operator shall be in the normal
operating position while raising or lowering the platform.
(5) The vehicle shall not travel from point
to point with the work platform elevated at a height greater than 4 feet while
workers are on the platform. When necessary at heights greater than 4 feet,
inching may be permitted provided it is done at a very slow speed.
(6) If workers on the platform can contact
the lift chains or other dangerous pinch or shear points on the mast or
carriage, the platform must have a screen or guard that prevents
contact.
