Safe Work Instruction - Use of a 2 Person Man-CageDO NOT use this plant* or complete this task unless you have been inducted in its safe use and
operation by an Authorised Experienced OperatorThis SWI may not cover all possible hazards and risks and should be referred to as a control measure in the risk assessment process.
Additional training may be required for high risk plant/work. Site and task may change required PPE.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND RISKS Entanglement
Entanglement in moving parts Cutting, Stabbing or Puncturing
Injury from sharp edges or burrs Shearing
Body parts sheared between items of plant Slip, Trips, Falls
Slip, trip, fall from entry/exit of plant and slippery plant surfaces
Struck by Moving ObjectStruck by moving object due to unexpected movement of plant
Electrical Shock or BurnElectrical shock or burn from plant contact with live electrical conductors
Manual Task InjuryManual task injury from incorrect manual handling
techniques
Exposure to Dust/FumesExposure to Toxic Fumes
CrushingCrushing due to being trapped between plant and fixed structure
OtherExposure to hazardous chemicals
PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS Complete site-specific risk assessment Complete the appropriate pre-operational plant
checklist if applicable Ensure you are familiar with plant operations and
controls Ensure that guards are fitted, secured and
functional in accordance with manufacturers guidelines
If the 2 Person Man-Cage is to be used in a confined space, a Confined Space Permit to Work must be completed with a rescue plan
Inspect the 2 Person Man-Cage for damage and is serviceable each time prior to use (See Pre-Use Checklist attached)
Ensure the crane used to perform the lift of the 2 Person Man-Cage is rated at minimum of 1000kgs
OPERATING PROCEDURES The 2 Person Man-Cage has a maximum working
load limit of 250kgs The 2 Person Man-Cage is to be lifted using a 4-leg
lifting chain sling with minimum leg length of 1600mm.
Ensure workers to be transported in the 2 Person Man-Cage are harnessed and attached to the cage anchor points by a retractable lanyard
Ensure any tools and materials being transported are secured or in a tool bag inside the cage
After the worker/s, tools and materials (if needed) are secured inside the 2 Person Man-Cage, ensure the gate is closed and the latch properly engaged
Using the crane slowly take up the slack on the lifting chains ensuring no shock load is applied to the cage

Raise the 2 Person Man-Cage approximately 300mm above the ground and visually re-check all lifting chains, harnesses, lanyard attachments and all tools and materials are stowed safely
Ensure any other workers are a safe distance away from cage prior to continuation of lift
Using the crane move the 2 Person Man-Cage steadily into position to the designated work area
Workers must remain standing on the floor of the cage and must not stand on the safety rails or handrail during operation
At all times be aware and ensure that the crane, rigging and 2 Person Man-Cage are kept clear of overhead powerlines and other hazards
Keep clear of moving plant parts Operate plant to the conditions of the work area Ensure no person or animal is endangered when
operating plant Before adjusting bring plant to a complete standstill
and isolate (use this when applicable)
ENDING OPERATIONS When work is complete or at the end of a shift,
worker/s will cease all actions and be prepared for the cage lift (All tools/materials must be stowed)
Using the crane slowly lift and move the 2 Person Man-Cage to the nominated resting location
Ensure the cage is gently lowered to the ground to avoid damage and injury to the workers inside
Ensue lifting chains and rigging are in the slack position before workers exit the 2 Person Man-Cage
All tools and material must be removed from cage if it is to be transported from site
A post-use inspection of the 2 Person Man-Cage should be done, and any damage other than normal wear must be reported to the supervisor
Ensure plant is in good working order and stored in the appropriate location
DO NOT Do not use if plant is faulty. Attach an Out of
Service tag and report fault to your supervisor Do not carry personnel in the 2 Person Man-Cage
if it is being moved or transported by a vehicle or Forklift
Do not use the 2 Person Man-Cage for anything other than its intended use.
Do not stand on the safety rails or handrailing during operation
Do not use ladders or other devices during the operation that would enable the worker to gain additional height/reach outside the cage
Do not leave plant running unattended Do not leave keys in machinery whilst unattended Do not wear loose jewellery Do not use mobile phone while operating plant
*Plant in this SWI refers to any machinery, equipment, appliance, container, implement and tool.
