Using the Blue Diamond work platform is straightforward. First, make sure to select the right model based on your weight requirements and space limitations. When loading the platform onto the forklift, use the end - fork pockets. For platforms with large fork pockets, ensure proper alignment. Before someone steps onto the platform, check that the safety harness tie - downs are secure and the safety pins on the doors are in place. As you operate, the mesh floor provides visibility and non - slip footing. Always follow OSHA standards and regulations. For maintenance, regularly inspect the platform for any signs of wear and tear, especially the anchors behind the fork heel. If you notice any damage, don't use the platform until it's repaired.
