6. SPECIFIC RISKS

Loss of stability
If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or
a surface that is not completely flat, there is a
risk of losing stability which would lead to a
90º overturn with risk of serious injuries for
workers.
Objects dropping to a different level
As an elevation equipment and due to its
working height, there is a serious risk of
raised objects dropping to a different level,
either due to securing mechanism failure,
part wear, dirt, etc., or incorrect use of the
PA (E.g.: for goods over the maximum load
allowed). Sudden drop of raised goods
implies a serious risk for the worker.

About loss of stability
Maintenance of PA stability must basically be
as per the following measures:
• Professionalization, training and risk
awareness of PA users.
• Equip with different safety devices and
advices from the manufacturer to reinforce
stability, as:
- Specify maximum load that the PA can
raise.
About objects falling to a different level,
knocks and/or contusions with objects
The consequences of these risks can be
reduced limiting an access area to the PA and
with a correct training of personnel.
