Essential Contents of Aerial Work Vehicle Risk Assessment Report

Basic Information

• Equipment model, specifications, purpose, applicable working conditions
• Assessment date, assessor(s), basis and standards
• Scope of application (working height, load capacity, environment)

Applicable Laws, Regulations and Standards

• Domestic: GB 7258, GB/T 37669, etc.
• International: EN 280, ANSI, relevant ISO standards
• Regional regulations (CE, EPA, customs / commodity inspection requirements)

Structure and Function Description

• Boom, outriggers, slewing mechanism, platform, hydraulic system, electrical system
• Safety devices: limit switches, tilt sensors, overload protection, emergency stop, anti‑pinch, soft leg protection
• Power system: engine / electric motor, hydraulic system

Hazard Identification (Core)

• Tip‑over risk (outriggers not extended, uneven ground, overloading, strong wind)
• Fall from height (platform door not closed, safety belt, insufficient guardrails)
• Crushing / shearing / collision (boom movement, slewing, retraction)
• Electric shock (working near high‑voltage power lines)
• Fire, hydraulic oil leakage, hot surfaces
• Out-of-control, malfunction, incorrect operation
• Maintenance and repair risks

Risk Analysis and Risk Level

• Probability + Severity → Risk level
• List: Hazard → Consequence → Existing measures → Risk level

Risk Control Measures

• Design control (safety locks, limiters, tilt sensors)
• Warning signs (labels, stickers, operating instructions)
• Operational control (outrigger specifications, wind speed limits, ground requirements)
• Training and qualification
• Maintenance and inspection system

Residual Risk Assessment

• Risks remaining after implementation of control measures
• Clearly inform users of mandatory safety rules

Usage Restrictions and Prohibited Conditions

• Maximum allowable wind speed
• Prohibition on working on slopes, soft ground, under high‑voltage lines
• Prohibition on overloading, standing on guardrails, throwing objects

Operational Safety Requirements

• Operator qualification
• Pre‑shift inspection items
• Outrigger extension requirements
• Standard operating procedures
• Emergency operation (emergency stop, lowering, rescue)

Maintenance and Overhaul Requirements

• Daily inspection
• Periodic maintenance
• Replacement of wearing parts
• Troubleshooting

Emergency and Rescue Plan

• Rescue for personnel trapped at height
• Emergency lowering in case of equipment failure
• Accident handling procedures

Risk Assessment Conclusion

• Whether the overall risk is acceptable
• Whether the requirements of applicable standards are met
• Final conclusion and signature
