Aerial Lifts

There is still a misconception of what to use in a boom lift or aerial lift.  I have been on many of jobsites and have seen people wearing a 6 foot shock absorbing lanyard in the basket of a boom lift.  This is so dangerous because you could bounce out.  That is why OSHA has changed the rule so you are required to use a 3 or 4 foot non-shock lanyard or a retractable.  This way you are using fall restraint instead of fall arrest.
