Safety Brief – SB-976_ASP Redmond Gary EWP Fly Boom Cylinder Pins

What is Happening?

This Safety Brief relates to two separate incidents below:

INC68429: Redmond Gary Elevated Work Platform (EWP) was being operated on a fault and emergency job on replacing lightning arrestors when the two employees aloft noticed clunking noises coming from the Fly Boom knuckle area. Employees grounded the EWP to check and found that one of the cylinder pins in the fly boom was dislodged. The pre-operation inspection completed did not reveal any issues with the Fly Boom knuckle.

INC68386: Whilst cutting trees the operators heard fibreglass scratching and cracking, when the Redmond Gary EWP fly boom was raised. After further inspection and removing guards, it was found that the pin that holds the fly boom to the hydraulic cylinder had worked its way loose.
