DETECTION AND WARNING SYSTEM UTILIZABLE IN A FALL ARRESTING AND PREVENTION DEVICE AND METHOD OF SAME

摘要

A fall arresting/prevention warning device that interfaces with one or more sensors that may be non-invasive and not interfere with normal operation of an aerial lift. The sensors detect movement of an aerial lift work platform and warn the operator when movement of the aerial lift is detected in order to have the operator verify that safety precautions have been taken to safely operate the aerial lift. The warning device may further detect movement of the aerial lift and simultaneously receive signals from one or more detection sensors of safety devices mounted to the vehicle, boom, work platform, or operator to verify safe operation of the aerial lift and provide a warning to the operator only when the proper operational status of a safety device is not detected, reinforcing the necessity to adhere to safety precautions when operating the aerial lift.
