Image overlay · CLIP THE ANCHOR. NOT THE RAIL.

Wrong anchor point turns a fall into a swing. In a boom lift, your lanyard goes to the manufacturer's anchor inside the basket — never the top rail, never a chain, never the machine's frame. Use a fall-restraint lanyard short enough to keep you inside the basket. An arrest lanyard lets you clear the rail before it catches you. RTO 52593 · Welshpool & Naval Base.

First comment · Check the plate in the basket — the anchor is rated and marked. If you can't find it, the machine doesn't leave the ground.
